wow.. In love wt N8 liao....  thumbup.gif
Hahahaha laugh.gif laugh.gif

Almost, just not there yet...
Last week, was trying to get used to it...
The real test starts this week, but I wont be hacking and installing stuffs yet... Just NFS, Angry Birds, and maybe will find a few free app first...
I will use it as a daily phone for a week and then write a review about it, while comparing it to HTC Legend for example...

There is a lot of mini tweaks to the UI which make it easier to use now. Its almost getting un-Symbian'ly. Although Im used to 5800 menu and last week finding it pretty hard to get used to, my first opinion when I tried it out is that this is gonna be good. Something thats unlike previous UI, is just the way Nokia need to go right now. BTW, I used a lot of UI word here. Most of the time, people refer UI as to user interface, but for me, like I had been complaining up to now, UI for me refers to User Interaction with the OS, not User Interface.

Nokia is still missing a some piece of the puzzle for sure. But Im pretty impressed so far with the whole package of N8.

Still, I think there will be more N8 user who buy it for the camera/video capability than buying it as a smartphone (my 2 cent prediction).

Ok.Lets talk about N8 vs N900.
First of all it's unfair to compare N8 with N900.
It's because N900 is a experimental device(a very stable experimental device) & N8 is a full fledged "smartphone".

On to the real thing.
Display.As aspire pointed out,capacitive or resistive;CBD or nothing; the higher amount of pixel will always be better for overall viewing,N900 have 800 x 480 which helps it browse internet well.N8 have much lower reso.

Battery.N900's battery last about 1 day on normal usage.Main reason why battery life so low is probably because Maemo is basically a desktop class OS with much more "things" than normal OS.N8's symbian^3 should do a lot better this this section although it's only using 1.2A battery.

OS.This make or break for 99% of users.Maemo is an experimental OS.It's discontinued & the next version will be MeeGo.N900 will be able to run both this OS.Amount of OS is very low for this OS because of small amount of users & lack of promotion of this OS to the developers by Nokia.However things will change with MeeGo since Intel + Nokia are going all out to woo developers for MeeGo.Symbian meanwhile always had a good support.There are plenty of apps out there.But I'm not sure whether previous version of symbians apps will run in s^3 or not.It's because s^3 is rewritten in qt there's been lots of change in kernels.However in this moment S^3 seems like a more sensible choice of average users.

Eye candy.N900 lose badly in this section.It's bulky,weights more & everything but it's got QWERTY keyboard.I'll choose physical qwerty anyday over in screen only keyboard.N8 looks pretty nice overall.From what I've heard from a Nokia R& D worker they have checked "upside & down" that N8 don't have any design flaw like N900's earlier microUSB port.

Usage.N900 is a Internet Tablet.The browsing ability of this phone beat the crap out of N8(from the early reviews).On multimedia side N8 beat the crap out N900.HDMI,good speakers,camera,bla bla bla,you can google for the rest of multimedia functions.On overall I'll stay N900 is slighty better because while being good in browsing section,it's also very good at multimedia side.For example we have fcamera that'll help to take DSLR like pictures.Also we have dual speakers(it'll be nice if Nokia includes equalizer in PR1.3).You can also watch videos while connection your LCD to N900.I've done this to watch standard movie avi file while connected to 42" LCD & the file plays perfectly.

In simpler word,if your just average joe phone user with badass camera phone,take N8.But if you're into "adventurous" side of phone,take N900.You'll have fun learning new things everyday with this device.

Anyone want to add?Andy?

I follow MeeGo's IRC channels.
Currently MeeGo for ARM based device is entering compilation period.For now It'll be released for N900.
Since Nokia mentioned that their 1st MeeGo device will be ARM based,I'm assume that N9 is that device & it's still on track to be released in Jan/Feb next year.
Also some from dev team indirectly mentioned that N9 is indeed in work

However MeeGo 1.2 will be something special.It'll be the OS for the 1st Nokia + Intel Moorestown based device.One of the special addition is the ability to run x86 based program directly with much conversion in the phone.

Majority of people don't like the phone.They say it's only for geeks sad.gif

Erm... according to Glen (Nokia Malaysia Product Manager) who I had a discussion with, Maemo is not dead. The info he gave me was Meego = rebranded Maemo.

As for me, its better for Nokia to work more on symbian as most of the people is bored on the old UI.

S3 is already a step in the right direction. Now a lot of the thing just press and hold till a menu appear. They tweak it liao but think need S^4 to really revamp the whole concept as one big push.

Dah...It's what they always say but the risk of damage is very minimal.
I've flashed my phone with Android,MeeGo,Maemo & multiple other crap.Still runs fairly well.

the point is they don't want to officially support if there is anything wrong..
not like other.. like HTC etc.. they have upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 Eclair... it is official and not void anything.... 

Nokia are playing Tai Ji with u in this aspect...

I've just got the N8 for 3 days already, I will give it time to improve, there are noticeable using the N8 as well. despite the spec 680mhz ARM11, its good enough. But a super-duper hardware 1ghz, 512mb ram and bla2 still have lag, after few months using it, people find it to be unacceptable, even in froyo there is lag. SIGH

Not possible.
Symbian is considered as lightweight OS.While Maemo & MeeGo needs a high performing hardware to make everything work smoothly.Not to mention the way the OS is build is totally different.
I doubt MeeGo can be ported to any Symbian device.That includes E7.
