look like having a Pentium 4 cpu with 60" led screen. 

True; it depends on the person whether he think worth spending additional > 1k or > 1.5k just for the extra phone function.

It's not a small amount to many people, but usually people that is brand conscious are also usually willing to spend more or are more loaded.

I'm just giving an example of a choice which may not come across the mind of some people. The decision is still up the to person.
The iPod Touch4 not necessary to carry always, as the purpose to carry is just for the games/apps, just like having a PSP. Plus, let's say the person gets a smartphone, it already does most of the job. The main advantage of iOS is the apps/games.

You're making a ridiculous comparison. We're here to compare handphones, not a pentium 4 with a 60" led screen.

yup, handphone. and more precisely, smartphone. so not some crappy laggy phone with superb camera function.

and to correct it , i m not saying n8 not good, it is just too outdated with all its current functions and its outcoming series make me upset for their future.

I don't think the N8 is laggy. GSMArena posted the following video about the N8 hands-on yesterday at Nokia World.
The N8 seems very responsive.

As for functionality, I think Symbian only loses in terms of aesthetics and application stores. Functionality-wise iPhone 4 still doesn't support Flash or BlueTooth file transfer. As for Android, my HTC Hero still has problems connecting to 3G/WiFi sometimes, but my N86 never has that problem. I think Nokia N series phones are pretty reliable.

They may laugh at u say : are u buying a camera or a smartphone  with 2 thousands ??

told ya, symbian doesnt need extreme hardware like 1 ghz,  512mb to get good speed. 680mhz already suffice :-)

What r u talking about? Symbian especially Symbian^3 is design for smartphone. Thus, this make N8 with good camera and symbian OS/smartphone functionality, ady beat my SGS in several parts especially the camera.

It doesn't matter. As long as its not a half fruit phone or an android, he'll say its laggy anyway. Fanboys are like that.

How can u condemn something you do not know or understand?

Good one!

Symbian v^3's aesthetics can be updated through fw updates?

Belum try, belum tau!
N8 not out yet...why go condemn it just wait for the product and try and then only give your point of view
