ok.. lets count all of us.. [all Nokia N8 LYN user  ]
hmm.. Nokia Lumia 900 seems interesting, wonder if it has better camera performance than N8

dun think upcoming phone camera will better than n8.at least in the first season of 2012.n8 still own the crown

i bet it will come with the EXACT camera module as N9... so u think N9 camera can beat N8??

Added on December 13, 2011, 12:51 amcan we put hope for Nokia 801 as the N8 replacement as the Nokia 701 for C7?? of coz still under symbian...

dislike la.dun symbian.even dual core oso arm11.scare d

The max that symbian support is only Arm11 meh? O.o
on a side note, WebOs went open source, I wonder if that possible for symbian to go open source too..
It's not necessary a bad thing? At least could attract developers to develop Apps for it
Symbian's functionality really no one can rival lorr.. really terribly waste if it gets abandoned >.>

My wish:
1. Symbian gets open source
2. Revive Maemo
3. Nokia acquire WP (TROLOLOLOL) M$ owned lopkia 

dislike la.dun symbian.even dual core oso arm11.scare d

I don't really hope that the successor will be a Symbian. Got tired of it unfortunately Acceptable if it's with WP. At least we have smooth fluid menus and more support?

Anyway , you guys should try CuteTube app. Finally we have an app that could play 360p videos via streaming instead of 240p with that other crap app. Definitely a must try , smooth menu and stuffs.

seems symbian is okay for me.. lets wait for belle / carla / donna..

anyway, i always use browser to watch youtube in HQ

carla and donna wont support our beloved N8. Only for dual core phones according to a few internet sources..

Nevertheless, hackers will bring it to us 

seems symbian is okay for me.. lets wait for belle / carla / donna..

anyway, i always use browser to watch youtube in HQ

No , Cutetube is 10x better quality than using browser watching HQ.Yes , i've double checked.

any1 know how to block certain number from calling me?

A reply to the N8 enthusiasts who disagree with our findings:
Our 8MP camera comparison post has inadvertently struck a chord with a number of Nokia N8 enthusiasts who feel that we have inaccurately represented the imaging prowess of their favourite device.
Firstly, let’s just clear the air, we started this test NOT to prove that the Nokia N8 is a poor camera phone. We clearly outlined our use case scenario when embarking on this test. We wanted to find out if the iPhone 4S is just as good a dedicated point and shoot and if there were any other smartphones out there that could claim the same.

With this in mind, we set out with to take pictures as a normal user would with their smartphones – take out from pocket, aim at subject, focus, snap. To make it fair and interesting, we took pictures in situations that where we felt would be challenging for the cameras.

At the conception and planning stage of this test, we did contemplate on whether we should also consider finding the optimal settings for each device in a given lighting situation. At the end we didn’t include this in the test 1) because with six devices and numerous situations and locations, it would just be too time consuming and more importantly 2) because we felt this didn’t fit into the typical user case scenario.

Most users will just take their phones out and start snapping away. We felt that the only setting a typical user would change would probably switch the flash on or off and if we’re perfectly honest, perhaps changing the focus mode from infinity to macro once in a while, and essentially, that’s pretty much it.

Looking at the comments from the passionate Nokia N8 community, perhaps in hindsight we should’ve also presented our recommended optimal settings for each scenario for each camera to see how good they can be when properly set up.

But then again, that would present a conundrum that has long plagued photogs. Do you setup a camera to take the perfect shot or do you leave the camera in auto mode to capture the spontaneity of the moment? Sometimes it depends on the user, sometimes it depends on the subject but most of the time, the answer lies in the camera itself.

With DSLRs where all major controls are easily and quickly accessible in a flash, then perhaps having the camera perfectly setup to adapt to changing conditions would be ideal but for a simple smartphone, you will agree that accessing the settings is most of the time not an option.

Also, let’s not forget we have in numerous posts, acknowledge the N8 as an imaging powerhouse but as we have mentioned in this article, with the advent of better, more efficient sensors and optics, the N8’s advantage has been diminished making a 12MP sensor irrelevant when there are 8MP sensors that are just as good, if not better.

But we know that this is unacceptable for Nokia N8 faithful and we are perfectly fine with that. After all, you are entitled to disagree with our conclusions, that is your opinion, but please do not force your opinions onto us or those who disagree with you.

And because we put emphasis on facts more than anything else at SoyaCincau.com, we’re putting out a challenge to the N8 enthusiasts that have expressed their views in the comments section of this post. We would like to invite you to come with us and visit the various locations where we’ve taken our test shots for this article and, together with us, re-take the pictures with the Nokia N8 optimally set up. At the same time, we will come with you and bring the five other devices in this test and do the same. You can also help us find the optimal settings for these devices.

Also, to make this as fair and unbiased as possible, we are open to your suggestions on the best locations and scenarios to test a smartphone camera’s performance. Is the Nokia N8 still king of the smartphone cameras? Let’s test these devices together and get this over with once and for all.

As always, they are rules to be observed:
1. No externals lens or filters allowed
2. No post processing, on or off camera
3. No tripods or stands
4. No artificial lighting
5. Cameras must take subject in same lighting condition

So that’s pretty much it. Please don’t take this as a “we’re right and you’re wrong” thing. It is absolutely not that. What we are looking for here are facts, definitive facts, and we’re completely ok if in pursuit of these facts we must stand corrected. We can live with that.
So Nokia N8 enthusiasts, if you’re game, please let us know. We’re free most weekends. We’re opening this challenge until January 16, 2012. Email us at soyacincau[at]gmail[dot]com and let’s get this show on the road!
