The editors didn't like

  • Camera is a little slow
  • Red ghosting on display in night light
  • Average low light camera performance
  • (Slightly) dated design
  • Not sure how useful OZO audio is

  • Average video quality
  • Disappointing Symbian^3 OS update

  • Average virtual keyboards
  • Unintuitive UI
  • Unimpressive internet experience
  • Confusing connection management
  • Poor social network integration
  • The Nokia N8 may have an all new operating system
  • But like older touchscreen Nokias it's still clunky compared to offerings from Apple and Android. That said
  • It's a lot faster than older handsets
  • And there are lots of new apps on offer from the Ovi Store.
  • Symbian still isn't competitive

  • Screen
  • Limited

  • Better but still quite convoluted
  • The OS could be more responsive and smooth
  • No hugely unique features
  • Price may be a little too high
  • Nonreplaceable battery
  • Chunky case
  • Non-replaceable battery
  • Uninspiring design
  • Clunky web browsing
  • Unreliable touch UI
  • Revamped OS feels dated
  • Symbian^3 is limited
  • No Android killer
  • Needs a higher-res display
  • No native DivX support
  • User interface still trails the competition in ease of use
  • The N8 can be sluggish
  • QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode only
  • Battery is not userreplaceable

  • Excellent 12-megapixel camera, Sharp HD video recording and HDMI output, Free turn-by-turn navigation with Ovi Maps, Can use it on T-Mobile or AT&amp,T
  • Runs slow, Symbian^3 OS isn't user-friendly, Very few quality apps available in Ovi Store, Full virtual keyboard only available horizontally, No subsidy available for the phone
  • This smart phone's 12-MP camera is top-of-the-line, but its sluggish, unfriendly software make for an uneven experience.

  • Best camera ever, gorgeous hardware design, good battery life, great data speeds
  • Mediocre browser, touchscreen issues, UI feels slow at times, weak text input options
