for a relatively tech unfriendly chap like me, the N8 is a nice phone.
12mp camera is fantastic. Carl Zeiss lens optics!!! here are a few pics attached taken in different resolution settings.
the phone is easy to use - i find it very easy with a blue tooth permanently hooked to my ear.
touch pad is sensitive and easy to operate.
sms is easy
various applications are fun
office documents and pdf files etc are easy to read and edit where required (Ive bought the quickoffice edit application)
all the apps are easy to download from Ovi store and there are a host of nice applications too like Real Golf 2011, weather reports and a host of others.
Incredible application loading speed for a phone
Symbian v3 seems a relatively better software (atleast to me)
I never open more than one application at a time so I have not experienced "hanging" issues etc yet.
the GPS function seems nice - helps in accessing the weather report etc very quickly.
gmail is quick and good - easy to configure and it becomes absolutely LIVE - no need to logon to gmail on the computer any more.
TBHP application does NOT work properly - dont know why. It says DNS error each time I try to logon.
There is a nice phrase translator upto 12 languages. Useful.
The internal 16gb memory is superb - can manage almost anything. can upgrade it to 48gb with an additional memory card which I will probably do and make it a supermachine.
migration from the N82 to N8 via Backup/Restore through Ovi and a USB cable is very very easy indeed. No data loss. Just a simple seamless transfer process since it is still a Nokia.
SIM card loads from the side and one cannot open the battery compartment - and a good thing too - let the service centre handle all that.
the usb cable allows the phone to charge while connected to the computer.
the charger is a super stylish one which I like a lot.
the original earphones they give with the phone are also very good indeed.
one must keep it in a cover and thats best for the phone to avoid scratches etc
ensure one uses a screen protector and camera lens protector too
unlike the N82, this camera doesnt have a protective shutter - I wish it did, but with a little care one can manage. One cant rough use this phone as much as one could with the N82 though. But the 12mp camera is better than the 5mp camera - indeed on this phone even the pics taken with the 5mp camera look wonderful. Nokia has hit it BANG on the Head by Allying with Carl Zeiss optics for their lenses - their cameras are way way better than anyone else at the moment (on the mobile phone front).
Video quality is superb.
Sound is excellent and realistic - the golf game really is realistic - even to the sound where the ball falls into the cup on the green - fantastic.
the graphics and colours are wonderful indeed - nice medium large screen so resolution etc is very good in my opinion.
Plus it is an elegant looking phone and very very aesthetically designed. I just love its look and feel. It is NOT so expensive as some other phones - I got it from Sangeetha Mobile at a nice price - some 24grand including free one year anti theft, liquid damage and general damage insurance, a carry case, one extra screen protector cover and a pair of lovely Sennheiser headphones free. good deal I thought.
All in all am happy I stuck with Nokia - am a bit of a diehard that way.
Glad I upgraded to this and didnt go to I Phone and Android and all that, despite various people's advice.
Cheers!
