    photo samples look great… where is the video sample

  • Roshan

    Nokia had came with the better option for camera after N82.

  • TJ

    I have shifted to Android currently,I am having nexus one,have lost interest in symbian.but this one look promising,will definitely give symbian ^3 a try..

  • Satya

    Me too was thinking for shifting to Android and was about to go for Nexus One. But after the lauch of this one, I will have to re-think for what to go for. This really seems very impressive and also wanna have the experince of Android. But now what to chose for is a dilemma for me. I think I must not leave Symbian.

    1) Why is there no lens cover+camera switch, like the N82 ?
    2) Is the N8′s Xenon flash as bright and powerful as that of the Nokia N82 ?
    3) The lens focal length is 5.4 mm( That is equivalent to a 28 mm wide angle on a 35mm SLR). How does the Xenon’s narrow beam cover the wide field of view of the N8′s 5.4 mm lens ? Won’t there be light drop off and vignetting?

      The phone’s camera is made of gorilla glass… So no more scratches and it is unbreakable…

  • Karteek

    After seeing this phone am really confused.. Which would be better, htc desire or nokia n8? Hey varun pls reply.

      If you are looking for a great camera then N8 . But you gotta wait for a while . Desire has a OK 5 MP Camera . Other options include Omnia HD , Sony Satio and Nokia N86

    • nirav

      Go for desire…..i have personally tested N8…but didnt like the interface as compared to android of desire,also the xenon flash doesnt have range and intensity at all,If your main demand in a phone is not camera then go for desire

  • Karteek

    Camera is not my main concern.. I want a phone as a whole complete performer.. I bought nokia n96, paying 36k 2years back, it was very very slow, with frequent crashes.. 5mp cam is ok for me.. I want to know with performance issues.. Nokia has a lot of performance issue.. When is n8 being released?

    • TJ

      if camera is not what u want and believe me this is how it should be,5mp is enough for a smartphone.N85,N96,N86,N97 all were a major major failure.
      If u want a true smartphone{means it can give u a great email client,web browsing experience,apps/games),believe me symbian is not what ur looking for.
      I have used many many symbian devices,their email client is very bad.
      U should seriously give a look to Android OS,i am using Nexus one from past 3-4 months,believe me it feels that ur actually using a true smartphone,no hangups,no lag,the web support,the apps,email all flows through so nicely as much as that i may now never shift to symbian again{not to symbian^3 atleast}.
      If u can manage to get an android,just use it for a day or two & then u’ll know the real difference.{Remember that Nexus might not ever launched in india} but u soon have HTC desire launching in india,expected at this month end.Give it a Shoot & u can bet u will not be disappointed.

        I have used a phone with a decent camera (5 megapixel, Xenon flash, 4-glass-element Tessar lens) the Nokia N82 since Dec 2007.
        Benefits I have enjoyed are:
        1) High availability. I carry my N82 mobile everywhere. Frequently not my 12 mp Canon SX20IS. Not even my 10 mp Canon SD1200IS.
        2) Most often the usable pic is a cropped version of the full-frame. So having 12 megapixels would give me a usable 5 megapixels after cropping in a PC bitmap editor.

        3) The GPS and Google Maps on the N82 is outstanding. N8 would only be better.
        4) I run a software called Nokia SportsTracker that marries the GPS, with the accelerometer-based pedometer and gives me kml files that can be seen on GoogleEarth with marked points of fastest jogging and slowest walking.
        5) Also purchased a software called CorePlayer for ARM by CoreCodec Inc. It can play mp3, mp4, flv and most video formats. Can have a whole DVD movie on my phone.
        6) Also use Skype. And not to mention the browser.
        So I know what a real Smartphone is. Can’t lose all that just for email, for which I always have my laptop in the trunk of my car.

        I expect to get all these and more in the new N8.
        Android and iPhone wouldn’t do it for me.

    Have uploaded a panorama made with the Nokia N8, see the link below: http://gigapan.org/gigapans/65314/
    I’m very satisfied with the device and specially the picture quality!

    The camera of N8 is indeed amazing. I also have a Canon 500D for comparison.
