Well that zero interest good price liao..although you probably can get RM1490 or one even selling RM1390 (Here in LYN garage sales - but not sure can trust or not)

If RM1490 from LYP, you need to top up ~ RM60 for zero int..almsot similar or more exp than PBB liao smile.gif

Comparison wth Canon IXUS 300HS posted earlier by me in V11 & V12

Daylight - N8 ~ 90% of IXUS 300HS quality
Nitetime -N8 ~40% of IXUS 300HS quality (Damn poor)

The battery monitor is just like the estimated time of arribal in your Garmin or Ovimaps lor...Depending on how fast you go, traffic & etc...so keeps on changing... biggrin.gif ..That day fully charged, shows me ~ 1few hrs of remaining, nxt day became 2 days remaining..cool...and yeap by the time I recharged, on Wednesday Evening I hv used N8 for ~72 hrs...cool... 3days not bad-lah even 3 hrs of music players.. biggrin.gif . Since the last recharged, on Wed Evening..now still remaining 1 Day 3 hr...not so cool compare wth 1st time using the monitor liao.. sad.gif

QUOTE(botakbin @ Nov 19 2010, 10:12 AM)
I've decided to stop relying on nokia battery monitor. lol. when u restart the phone in any way, the statistics will go wrong, or erase itself. i'd say the estimates of the battery are accurate.. so that will be the only purpose i will use it now..

I'm having N8 & Vivaz now...On video recording, Vivaz having continous auto focus but very cacat wan...as this is the main reason why video shooting on vivaz very lagging esp during zooming in & out as you compare both test videos below:


SE Vivaz- Continuous autio focus:


N8 without the auto-focus thingy:


For me N8 video is less lagging..Interm of PQ almost the same and honestly, comparing the camera UI, Vivaz UI is much better than the old fashioned Nokia N8. Your earlier article about the bombardment against N7 camera development probably true also bcos I'm few that complaining the N8 camera too..Expecting having similar power & functionalities to the hi-end digicam such as Canon S95, Ixus 300HS or even Lumix LX5..but it does dissapoint me..PQ on daylight abit better than Vivaz & nite shooting atleast much better than vivaz but the nite shooting nothing closer to those RM1K & above Digicam sad.gif
QUOTE(barca96 @ Nov 19 2010, 02:29 PM)
Thanks. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Any N8 user here with who has an experience with
Motorola Milestone TX720, SE Vivaz or HTC Desire?
How are the video recording qualities?

I wanna new camera UI for this N8..Nokia really bad on camera R&D & still using fugly UI..Vivaz UI much better..haizzz...sumore got the integrated panorama, no sound setting, & more functionality such as sunset, nite mode, food mode & etc not available in N8!
QUOTE(BBXiong @ Nov 19 2010, 04:33 PM)
is there? apart from this power off issue, i don see many serious issue that can affect user anymore, software will eventually be ok, i expect 4-5 firmware upgrades for that, right now what scaring many ppl away is just the power off issue, if that one fixed then N8 would be a very good phone...the color banding issue is also a software cause, and that one either nokia team or something 3rd party modder will eventually come out with some fix for it...

Locking time not so important..The accuracy of routing & latest maps updates more than others..In this case still Garmin FTW

Sorry whatever version they have is just the navigator changes but the maps update depending on them (~ 3-6mths once)...& standard throughout version..You can check the Ovimapmaps here to check the latest compare to malfreemaps..What I know, lotsa new highways & roads even those closer to my place (Puchong is not up to date!) -malfreemaps updated weekly..which one you want?

QUOTE(jay2you @ Nov 19 2010, 06:05 PM)
oo..so which version is better routing & latest map? i mean ovi map.

Added on November 19, 2010, 6:12 pmI kenot open any mkv file wor...why yours can..mine also 720p but 4GB-lah hmm.gif
QUOTE(Eoma @ Nov 19 2010, 06:06 PM)
I am impressed how fast the N8 copies 4.4GB of files (5 minutes) and it's flawless playback of a 720p 2.2GB MKV file (Walking Dead 101 - go watch it peeps).  smile.gif
