Music wise, this phone quite disappointing. Budden thats not what i got this phone for

bass is there, but just not as good as what the 5800 offered. i seriously hoped they dumped in 5800's speakers to that phone actually...

and nokia's defauly earphone normally sucks...i never used them even last time, just use the remote control, and from remote control port i plug in my own earphone to use

Or can always consider this

It makes a nice pair

lol, cos apparently our headset still got left and right and the surround works damn well there? just turn it on whenever you use earphone and turn it off after that lo, that's what I did for my n82
you can always get remotes that allow you to connect to your own earphone at the garage sales threads...
and what do you mean by ruin music wiu 320kbps? if you try to convert a lower bitrate audio to higher bitrate, it would be screwed up most the time...

u know a bit of audio staffs..   

to listen to maximum detail..  EQ should be total flat...    recording studio monitor speaker are produce as flat sound as possible...  so u can hear all instrument sound.. 

but most consumer will not really like those truly flat sound..  coz consumer usually prefer a bit more bass only sound good.. but that actually make u lost of some detail....

Bitrate does miracles yeah?

Im kinda free right now cos my wife and son slept liao so I got a little bored and went with HTC Legend vs N8 vs Sound Blaster Digital Music (it has 24bit DAC + LME49720 opamp mod). Im using a GoVibe6 and Crossroad Mylar1B (which is a heavier on bass, but not so compared to N8 stock headset).

Let me just start first on the stock headphone. I think N8 has trouble driving them at the loudest. When I plug in my headamp, it was better, slightly. I almost get no sound at all when plugged into my HTC Legend which says it all about how hard it is to drive them. The stock headset also seem pretty lacking on the higher end frequency which makes it sound a bit dull.

I think the main problem with N8 is soundstage. Definitely lacking or even not there. The sound just plays into your head. Fatigue and annoying over a longer period if you like them loud. The sound from my modded Digital Music and HTC Legend is definitely better in this aspect.

If you can get a headamp with the right opamp to create the soundstage, it might just turn the table around. Govibe6 cant expand N8 soundstage by much and still feel slightly annoying.

To make headphone enjoyable, soundstage is important. It can be fatigue to listen to for long period of time. If you had a Philips HP890/895, maybe you can give it a try. Should be quite enjoyable since it has this wide soundstage experience. However, the bass might be hard to tolerate since HP890 tend to have loosy bass and the N8 in its stock form also has loosy bass which is normal for handset headphone out.

Ah... before I forgot, you might want to try KSC-75 (did i get the model correct?)... I think open air headphone should be slightly better for N8 than in-ear headphone. I have one but the stock padding is gone.

n8 don have image stabilizer right?

another weird case spotted!n8 doesnt have extended digital zoom!!N95 oso got..how come n8 dun have?

First Person Shooter machine gun

FPS is a game term. something like Counter Strike, Half Life, those game are FPS.

huh? i just explain what is the FPS someone ask about....where can serious?

anyway that's really FPS stand for... got another meaning one... Frame Per Second.

-------------
BTW the front page's ram checking tools had to register to download ar? 

I would guess he means 3.5 Frames Per Second capable camera that can take a lot of shots continously by holding down the shutter button. Just my 2 sens.

Of course, camera can't la...    Just hoping Nokia generous enough to provide this feature for it famous camera phone. That's why I wanted to compare with sub RM1k camera which are mostly have auto setting. To compare with above 1k camera can't do justice with N8.
I compare my old K770i with PowerShot 465, and I found out both have almost equal picture quality. Previously, since my DSLR got stolen  (that 2 years ago) , I just used my K770i for my main camera (5800 camera totally a  ). But recently, someone give me PowerShot 465 as a gift. I'm really shocked the image quality is not much different except 465 has a few setting to play with. So, I really hope N8 can replace any sub 1k camera so I can replace my old K770i. 

The N8 is on the table beside me,  a few seconds ago it shut down and restarted on it's own... spooky haha.

yup... very dirty and it's under the top screen layer so impossible to be wipe out...
no need lah... don be crazy lah... i think ALL will have it and it might be as well with other Brand devices as well... let more ppls try it and see... 

no people know how to download attachment? everytime i click on it i just get index.php file only

Is the Nokia N8 that unpredictable and unstable?

for me the photo looks like left side is better than right... left side is n8 right?
