Y everyone think n8 is high end? The device wasnt meant for high end league and nokia mentioned it already that n8 is mid end devices.

to be classify under mid range phone,the price should not be more than rm1.5k,right?

Actually, High End and Mid End is just a term used to classify the phone by its price range, not really by its function/how good it is.

High ends (>RM 2k): E7, Xperia X10, SGS, iPhail 4 (this one because of BRAND only  )

Mid-High (RM 1500-2k): N900 (was a high end, now drop liao), N8, S.Wave, Vivaz, Satio

Mid End (RM 1000-1500):  X6, C6-01, C7 (sori, less example, i dunno much lower ends bcos i dun care LOL  )

Mid-Low (RM500-1k)

Low : Dumbphones

RM1.9k isn't anywhere near mid-range, unless Nokia has plans for RM2.5k "high-end" models

consider iPhone 4 is RM2290, SGS ori is RM21xx, Desire ori is less than RM2k...

Desire and SGS are considered as high-end and they priced just a little more than N8, and that's not even mention about AP set yet

Btw, ip4 for me is mid end with overprice tag. Haha

The status of a phone drops mah. N97 was high end but now mid end only. Xperia X10 was supposed to be SE's flagship (and so, a high end), but later got X10 Pro replace liao. E7 i heard nokia gonna put in at least 800Mhz (maybe 1Gb, who knows) and 512Mb RAM, the specs we know is not final yet. Price after tax will be like, 2.4 or 2.5k.

N8 is Nseries flagship (entertainment), E7 is Business flagship. Other phone producer din make 2 separate flagship bcos they dun care bout entertainment, they care about duo core 1.5GHZ processors to make ppl drool only ...      Just see how suck HTC and Blackberry caneras are.

Fanboys are defined as people rating their devices as "the highest ends" whether they are good onot.        Just look at iPhail 4 fans, they can iPhail 4 cam better than N8 cam i LOLed so hard. iPhail 4 cam cant even beat N82 lar.

i doubt this
but this may occurs once
e7,c7 and c6-01 release

Any1 waiting for E7? Nokia says late January. 

Lol. Its just my opinion. If dun agree, just shut up.

Welcome back to spice up the discussion...

It doesn't have any different from ppl who keep on saying the other phone how no bad compare the n8...  It is the same wt those idoncare fanboy.... 
N8 multimedia platform very good?  Wait till n8 can run all sort game n multimedia as smooth as the iphone4 only said not late yet....

it's part of nokia's marketing plan so that people will buy n8.
when e7 out,then buy e7
if release n8 n e7 simultaneously,either model will lack of sales.

OS? What OS?
Experience in owning one:
It's a touch-based multimedia/gaming console/device slapped on with Phone function.

Well, just my opinion. I believe many wouldn't even classify it as a smartphone as in computer-like, but a smartphone as in very smart for,... well... put in nice words... simple users.
The good: It virtually can suit any types of users.
The bad: That's it, it's locked to "simple" user level, there's no room for improvement, no moderate or advance feature to turn on if they want. (Note: This is also a very smart strategy/move, go figure...)

will nokia try use android as their phone's os??

Actually here's the problem: iP4, anyone who gets their hand on it learns to use it immediately and fast.

Symbian: Old users like me who has stuck on Nseries ver since i have the N70 (later N73, and N95), finds it easy to use and user friendly, i can custom anyway i want to make it even easier to use (custom options = more complicated = needs more processor power and Ram). For first timers who touch a nokia, you see this response "WTF is this? How do i get this and that done? How?!"

Same case when i used my friends' Samsung with Android. I gave the same reaction. But, people choose Android over Symbian becauseof raw power from the processor, but i am not impressed with Android-powered phones because of battey life. Seems like a matter of preference. For one reason why symbian can lag in older phones is because Ui is complicated compared to iOS. That's my opinion. If Sym3 can make things better by being efficient then it's fine.

from nokia china website, price is RMB4988, so price will be around RM2300? those who can read chinese please help to translate? TIA!

pre-order in singapore cost S$798, free nokia mini speaker, pouch and 2 years warranty too

LOL it's so funny. Teachradar's N8 review has been heavily biased against nokia and people are bashing techradar in the comments section. Then, what happened? Tech radar removed the phone's ratings and changed the title "review" to Hands On. ROFLMAO. Seems like they admit it (in an indirect matter) and we might get a re-review by a different editor.
