Oh..I didnt go through all the old pages.Too many!
I read reviews online from other sites.

What is a mobo? NCC?

I don't really care about apps, just care about the phone, is it still a good phone if it jsut has to meet those requirements?

many thanks in advance

What do you guys mean the phone dead?
It suddenly turns off?
Nokia won't repair the problem?
Cannot exchange with a new phone?

iPhone has a lot of accesories for their phones.
How about Nokia? In particular N8.
Do they have a wide range of brands that does the accesories?

Sorry. Should've been clearer on that.

What is the name of that case if I may ask?
It looks really good.
I saw a lime green case earlier today. Can't remember the name.
Looks good too but maybe not on a smartphone.

Guys,
I have been heavily researching this phone for the last couple of days and this article may have just finally put me off.

One of the main reasons why I really wanted to get this phone was because of the camera but

There were other phones in that blog that was compared to the N8.
But the pics here
http://thehandheldblog.com/2010/10/04/shoo...anon-550d-dslr/
certainly made me fall in love again with N8!

But how come the quality of the pics were so poor here?
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-n8-camera-en.shtml

I really don't get it.

p.s.
I Don't even own an iPhone. Not interested.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I guess I will research further on the
N8, Motorola Milestone TX720, SE Vivaz and HTC Desire.

I really can't make up my mind at this point.
N8 was in the lead but read so many problems.
Luckily I will only be back in KL in January.
Only then I need a new camera phone.
Hopefully by then, Nokia rectified the problem already.

Oh alright.
Maybe the mod's could put these kinda website on the 1st page.
They're very useful for the people who are halfway over the bridge(like me).
Just need a killer blow! tongue.gif

Another great site.
Compares SE Satio and N8.
N8 looks poor on the close-ups.
THe background get's blurry IMO

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

Thanks stimix.
Ok. So Vivaz out of the list now.
It was already halfway out actually.
Because it's running on an old Symbian.
Now only HTC Desire & Motorola Milestone getting in the way

ps.
Geez, I was out for 10min and already 2 new pages.
