@ bufung,

Currently it's still not bad. Android Market is few times worse. That's why they made the barcode scanning app.

Let's wait for the phone this coming Friday. I'm thinking to get half day leave but not sure free or not. Was thinking to catch a movie and visit choc fair before getting M8 hands-on.

n8...

nokia always source their screen from LG,lower quality and cheaper i think.

Samsung themself also switch some line to SLCD... S-LCD by samsung + sony....

why avaxx jiang trow stock arrive n wanna sell d??? weird

Speak English man.

SlideUnlock is better than side slider IF u want to maintain the phone's sturdy looks. If u keep using the side slider, it will only be a matter of time before scratches, peeling paint and stuff happen to ur slider...
Personally I use slideunlock on my X6 just cos I feel X6's slider wont last me long enuff...altho my fren has proven otherwise.

I can assure you that is not true.

hey u all, can we discuss bout GPS that n8 provide? -or it's has been discussed in other thread?-
i dont really understand about free GPS that nokia provided.. somebody can explain bout this??
-i never used the GPS before.. consider me as a noob..

thanks for correct me.have to do more reseach for this.lol.

The current maps and navigation solution provided by Nokia allows drive and walk turn-by-turn navigation. Which means you just need to determine where your destination is, and the device will navigate you to the destination while you drive via voice commands. Think of it like a personal guide beside you who knows the roads.

The Ovi Maps preinstalled in your device also allows downloading of new maps, anywhere in the world, covers navigation in almost all countries. All this for no extra cost (except for data costs but you can use wifi). Downloading on device will come in future update so you don't need a computer to update your maps.

It will be a matter of time before someone stands up and say "It's the damn Korean mess up".

* points to SGS...

Anyway, its amazing that no one want to use IPS screen with the exception of Apple.

IPS is an immature technology,even LG dare not to use it.apple source their screen from LG.(this 1 i confirm,haha)

iPhone wants to be 'revolutionary'

IPS has been around since early this decade, it's just that it has been cheap enough now to be used in mass consumer market devices.

I've seen better screens now from technology roadshows but it almost always boils down to price if the technology is ever going into consumer devices.

I have even seen touchscreen displays which integrates the speaker in the screen and provides haptic feedback. The speaker as we know it might be obsolete soon, to enable thinner devices, ubiquitous sound and haptic feedback without an extra vibrating motor.

but the IPS screen got lot of problems and LG said IPS isnt perfect enough?pls correct me if im wrong.

Nic,

What problem oh? IPS screen is the best. 4 years back and I would say otherwise because it has response time running into 60 ~1xx ms. It has improved tremendously since.

Ive just pre order N8 at Nokia Melaka Sentral.
They said they dun even know about 1+1 waranty.. Haiyyoo..

Price is below than 2k.

no any fix price for this phone yet?
weird.

As for the AMOLED screen, how far the truth is? I have seen some review where it says N8 screen is better than SGS but IP4 screen is better than N8. Iguess they are talking about brightness, correct me if I'm wrong?
