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
  • Software is confusing and frustrating in places
  • Fewer apps available than with rival phones

  • 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
  • Interface still retro in aesthetics. Web browsing lacks panache
  • Screen
  • Limited
  • Inaccurate colours
  • Interface still too round the houses

  • 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
