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

  • 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

  • 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 hardware which can surely withstand accidental drops, Pentaband 3G and Quad Band GSM for the Globe Trotter, Decent Call quality, One of the best Cameraphones in the market, Above average multimedia performance, DivX and Xvid support, USB OTG and
  • Hardware is great but call and hangup buttons are missing, Symbian^3 is better but still not very user friendly, Videos are recorded only in 25fps while many phones in the market record at 30fps, Portrait QWERTY keyboard input is sorely missing, Browser n

  • Superb build and finish, good quality scratch resistant display, stellar camera for a mobile phone, excellent connectivity features, HDMI-out with 5.1 audio, USB On-the-Go support, 16GB memory plus microSD slot, decent battery life
  • Symbian ^3 not as user friendly as rival platforms, not many applications at the moment
  • The Nokia N8 is priced at Rs. 26,259 but it can be purchased for Rs. 23,999. At that price you get a phone with top notch fit and finish, excellent build quality, superb display, wonderful audio and video playback, HDMI-out with 5.1 channel output, US...

  • Well designed, Supports DivX and XviD video, Superb camera quality for video and image, HDMI out offers Dolby Digital Plus sound, USB-on-the-Go is a handy feature
  • No EQ customization, Camera could have had more features, Social networking integration could have been better
  • CameraThe N8’s biggest asset is of course its 12MP camera, another first for the Finnish company. The only problem I have with this feature is that it could have had better settings. The only new setting is that it comes with is Face Detection but if a...

  • Offers a better and more enhanced user experience than previous devices; delivers excellent camera and video quality; solid hardware; free turn-by-turn navigation via Ovi Maps.
  • Expensive; user interface still trails the competition in ease of use; can be sluggish occasionally; you only get a QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode; no user-replaceable battery.

  • The Nokia N8 is the best Nokia has to offer. A few years back thousands of people would take this to mean the best on the market. Things are not that simple today and Nokia has been learning it the hard way. But the company has been learning.It's been a l...

  • Nokia's latest N-series phone is a fantastic piece of hardware let down by its software. It might appeal to existing Symbian users, but as smartphone operating systems go Symbian will have to catch up much faster to the likes of iOS, Android, BlackBerry a...

  • Impressive video/camera system; lots of features,
  • Keyboard system could be improved; too many buttons and options menus to go through.
  • So, the Nokia N8 is technically what was advertised: A touchscreen phone that's utterly jam-packed with nifty features. However, aside from the camera, most of these features require a fair amount of improvement before they can truly be called excelle...
