Finally, got to play around really quick with a real N8 today. Joy.

Didn't get to test everything, but the impression I got was:

1) The camera is GREAT. Seems the extra sensor size isn't put to waste.

2) The AMOLED screen was real fine, although it's no S-AMOLED or Retina. Didn't notice if the N8 had the clear black tech that the new E7 has though.

3) The UI is generally smooth, but it's still symbian - with its submenu overload. There is still some lags here and there though.

4) It's the phone that should have come in place of the N97. And now it's a couple of months late to the party.

Now, anyone care to pass me an N9?

How did u get to play wit N8 i wan tooooooooooooooo who have di?

u already got one ??

This is the part that I knew Nokia will never change

he just said he play around =.= if his then he would say i reviewing or something

FCAM better fixed it!!!!! (furious!)
today is a nice day to jump around, skip around and what not better than snap a few pic using Fcam..
what i notice is..when u try to play around with more option:
reduce noice, <<<iso
indoor so reduce white balance, <<<wb
focus, <<<focus (playing with bokeh)
exposure, i put auto
scare singe burst not enough..why not best of 8.

then snap!!

freeze there don't know how freaking long..(remember aspire guide, remove battery)
ok done..

back to previous setting
snap again

FREEZE!!



wasted my whole freaking day for this!! what the.....i captured NONE!

Simple alot light use auto
Very little light use manual and push ISO to 100 or use default camera

No lah. Let's just say my insider proved useful - as I met him while raya-ing at someone else's house lol.

But yeah, it's a good upgrade if you like symbian, don't like hardware keyboards and needs a great camera. Otherwise, the E7 looks like a better overall package in the symbian stakes.

And we need more leaks to see if the N9 is any good . Because of that, for now, the N900 is still safely Nokia's most powerful all-rounder.

I'm actually hoping that the upcoming (supposed) Palm Pre 2 to be good enough to give me trouble deciding between it and the N9 though - WebOS is actually the only other phone OS besides Maemo/Meego to properly do multi-tasking,

problem is not with the setting..
N900 Fcam hang aka freeze for a long time..sad!

did u overclock? make sure close all background apps

OC to 900Mhz
is still functioning well if im playing with a few setting

but when it come to alot of setting..it hang (esp best of 8 shots)

i switch off..take out battery..put back in..still hang wor (i suppose no background apps that time)

Things still could change though.Some of the Nokia employee at Nokia World said that the firmware could be updated to add few up functions before final version of the phone sold in market.

You friends unit it production model or testing model?

As Andy pointed out yesterday,WebOS is good OS but the actual phone design is

I frequently have that problem as well, I always manual my ISO, but when it is in places which do not have much light.... when u manually place the iso to 100, that is what will happen........FREEEEZEEEEEE.

i shouldnt really talk about n8 here but it's forum v3 already closed n no v4.
was having happy hour in overtime sunway giza last nite.
spotted a pretty chic using a green n8...how could it b?
has nokia release demo sets 4 review?
seen her using photo gallery n txt messaging...
seems like an improved n97 2 me...
UI very much de same as 5th edition...

2mmorow i'll be staying overnight at a beach. will share some of the pictures and maybe videos using the phone later soon as i got home. let's see how good this lil devil can deliver.

im about to install the sygic gps in my n900.. i wanna ask if my operator will charge me any money for using this gps which means that this gps needs to online or using gprs to get the signal anot?

and how was it? hehe.. thanks for taking time replying
