phew finally got time to reply here, was just briefing my housemate bout the nokia n8 like a salesman. lol.

i wanna thank everybody over at the nokia rangers event and also the lowyat forummers that i met. love the event and everybody is so friendly helping and answering questions. not to say got a good gift .

im on the youtube mom!!

N8 currently still on Flash Lite.

Have not been touching Symbian since January this year after I got my N900. So kinda 'karat' already using Symbian, but I have tested few times N97 Mini.

My short test in Nokia Shop Pavillion; Smooth, great improvements of performance and response over S^1.

Some testing during Ranger event:
Tried multi-tasking opening many apps while playing music in background, also running OVI Maps... surprisingly, throughout the operation... the music playback was smooth all the way.
On the N900, sometimes the playback will face some problem. Maybe only some apps/processes have true multi-tasking capabilities? Not sure?
Also tried to snap photos when many applications are opened; Smooth also.....
Perhaps the OS is optimized/memory is managed very well? Or was it the "true" multi-tasking I mentioned?

Anyway, it's good to know; But we have yet to fully customize the N8 yet; After customizing the homescreen, those widgets will eat up on the device resources and we'll see how it well it performs; Sort of stress test, so those who want smoother device, can consider limiting their customization to get better performance.
Just to add, out-of-the-box Ranger's N8 homescreen is already partially customize; there's already widgets on all the 3 homescreen.

Overall, everything seems good; My only complain currently is the Mono Speakers; Really can feel the difference... although can plug-in headset/earphone/external speaker, but sometimes some people do play music directly, or when watching online videos, etc, or when showing your friends some videos, etc. and finally, ringtone....
Hope Nokia will take this into consideration on the next device.

OK...

Apparently the keyboard problem only exist in the browser, while its working fine with messaging.

For example, when you press spacebar, it will double-spacing. Look at my previous 2 replies in page 132. All the words are double-spaced but I only press spacebar once. Thats not so annoying. Whats annoying is that after you fullstop, it does not auto-capital letter unless you press back once. Hopefully will be fixed.

Anyway, for those who enquire about Opera, I tried it out as well. Why I dont want to use it because first, it dont support pinch and zoom. Secondly it was not as smooth as stock browser.

hmm this kind of problem will it solve on firmware ?
cause wan to get n8
XD

waa, this phone can consider as cheap..
gona let off my n82 then!!

1.7k very satisfied with the pricing.

Using opera mini in sgs and it has pinch to zoom. N8 opera mini dont have pinch to zoom?

well to me,the design solid(i like it),the camera is smooth captured and process..the homescreen really fast..gaming like nfs shift got lagging..

the s^3 os is improve alot..but some prob when open youtube desktop and then when wanna open anot app,need to close the youtube first if not damn lagging jus like games and the touch so so lar,but overall its a nice phone,its really worth it..(sorry for my english)

right now download all S^3 in ovi and internet

Was comparing the facebook experience from my IdontK phone and the N8. And i can say that the IDontK phone wins hand down.
The Nokia N8 some of the video are not render and i also realise that some of the text are missing. Like my friend type to another friend wall, the text is missing. That is really weird.
I guess new firmware will fix this problem. Viewing all social activies (facebook and twitter) the scrolling seems sluggish abit or is it because of the screen protector.. hmmm

Their Marketing strategy really nice..~ >> Nokia N8

That video is really old. I think when they first announced N8 they showed that video.

Pinch & zoom in Opera Mini currently only available for Android if I'm not mistaken.
Maybe things could change once the new Opera Mobile released.But I have no idea whether new Opera will be available for Symbian.

new home already created.

from previous (last night) post...
can say that:
1. N8 is not a very good phone for internet/surfing, have some lag with the browser...

BUT

2. N8 is a very nice & smooth camera...
3. No problem with multitasking...
3. N8 got very solid design...

So anxious to hold my N8 this afternoon...

Thats a keypad... not keyboard...
Thats what currently on the N8...

Oops sorry bro. Thanks for the clarification

shouldn't be. cos the girl from the garden called me and confirm with me again last night..if first come first serve i think they will ask me to collect at saturday instead of asking when will i go to collect?
