Any audiophile here? Can do a favor and conduct a quick test to test the audio capability? How's the quality compared to previous 5800/N97/etc? I heard the audio chip is the same as 5800, based on iFixit strip photo.

One of the main function i used is for music playback.

Just visited a store with N8 stock, only silver and dark gray. They sell at RM1780, Avaxx 1 yr warranty. But i asked, "Not RM1690??", they hahaha and say RM1700 best price. Comes with free Nokia Spine case, wall plug and car charger.

The phone really lovely but no blue color. They say it's childish

pirateguy, may i know where u read that BLUE version is Made in Finland? Now i even more psyched towards it lol. Already got sick with all the typical silver, black and white color. IIRC, there's no Msia BLUE version for firmware under Navifirm which might confirmed it.

And that nokia spine case really useless and ugly. Only good thing bout it is to hide the sirim/warranty seals.

Somehow those 8 hours charging tradition got carried to newer generation of batteries, which is not required. Most, if not all, phones come with overcharging circuit. Prove? Phone only get hot when charging and once finished, both phone and adapter doesnt feel hot at all. That's meant the phone doesnt draw any power from charger any more.

Nope, no point doing that. Once full bar, can disconnect already.

that feature already on S60v5

if you have incoming new msg, alarm, etc, it's listed there too

Not removable but not accessible without TORX screwdriver. It's secured by a latch with 2 torx screws. So not really swappable while on road

BBXiong, your photo look "blur"

i'm referring to the photos. either shutter speed too long or your hand shaking.

and gosh, the indoor shots got quite high amount of noises.

@BBXiong, no wonder. But details still retained in most photo. Friday 18 Sept 2009 and your face

And i have that same cabinet at hometown LOL

No, ur framed convo photo in the cabinet, inside your room

i thought u doing NDT

Non-destructive Testing

And how're you doing there bro? Currently my job also involves some FEA

That's the deal breaker for me.... I am using both Opera Mini and Nokia browser and preferred Nokia most of the time. But it frequently OUT OF MEMORY on me. And surfing is one of my main activity on phone, besides music playback. Hope they implement the new webkit browser ASAP.

No, i meant on my current 5800. I didnt try out the browser capability when demo N8 yesterday since no WiFi AP nearby.

Does N8 browser crashed or just show OUT OF MEMORY then closed?

Oh, icic. I thought OUT OF MEMORY again on N8's browser . At least that's a good progress on memory management part for S^3.




*I really wish someone found method to do CFW on N8 soon. I will grab it that time and do CFW and also dev some Qt apps for personal usage. I can see a lot of potential on N8.

Based on your 3GS ownership, what did you do with it mostly?

1. Gaming (iOS +)
2. Call (N8 +)
3. Texting (iOS + *1)
4. Surfing (iOS)
5. Music/Video (N8 +)
6. Camera/Video camera (N8 +)
7. Hack/mod (N8 + *2)
8. Connectivity (N8 +)


*1, due to better on-screen keyboard
*2, a tie if you familiar with JBreak but iOS nothing much to play around

IMHO, to properly judge the battery life,

1. Let the battery goes through few charge cycles
- battery only operate optimally once it gone through few charge cycle.

2. Wait for "new toy syndrome" diminished first
- when u received a new toys, u will play with it all the time just for the sake of touching it. This kill the battery.

That's why i think social network integration into phone is bad move in the first place. It's more intrusive than SMS/phonecall


Regarding UMTS/GSM battery consumption, if your area has good 3G/3.5G coverage, battery life wont differ much. In some case, it actually consume less power since you retrieve data faster than EGDE. But overall 3G/3.5G coverage in Msia is Most of the time, 3G/3.5G keep dropping and switching back and forth between EDGE and 3G/3.5G, wasting a lot of juice.

If 3G icon shown, it meant your phone currently under 3G connection. For both VOICE and DATA connection. Once you start using DATA connection, sometimes it will drop to EDGE or GPRS if weak signal.
