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

  • Thinness in the treble
  • Average video quality
  • Disappointing Symbian^3 OS update
  • Poor touch screen keyboard

  • 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
  • Lack of responsiveness and fluidity (zoom
  • Scrolling internet pages and so on)

  • Symbian Anna interface
  • 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

  • Abstract:  HMD Global has just unveiled what will be the very first Nokia flagship running Android: the Nokia 8. Historical significance aside, does the Nokia 8 represent the return to form that legions of Nokia fans have been waiting for? Well, it certainly looks a...

  • Abstract:  The Symbian^3 flagship Nokia N8 has been no stranger to “hands on impressions”. In fact the first exhaustive impressions of a leaked prototype device came as early as April 2010, when Eldar Murtazin ran an article for Mobile Review. From there onwards, we...

  • This was it, shutterbugs. Apparently we don't have an ultimate camera phone here, but even if we had one, it wouldn't have been the new HTC One X. The handset did arrive with a very fast ImageSense camera, which made photo-taking very intuitive and fa...

  • From our point of view, the Nokia N8 was a failure up until the day that Symbian Anna came out. The OS was buggy, unresponsive, and felt archaic. The phone was characterized by many people that played with it as something that belonged in the late 90's...

  • The Nokia N8 has been a much anticipated phone for a while now especially since it was announced in April 2010. All the signs and everything about it is great. One big plus about the Nokia N8 is the unmatched hardware capabilities. With the proc...

  • It's been a while since I've used a Nokia device. A few years ago I had the Nokia N95 and it was a great device in many ways. Today I have been extremely impressed with the Nokia N8. The camera is great at both still photos and HD video and the softwa...

  • Abstract:  A strong marketing campaign can make any product sell well, iPhone being the best example thereof. Once it’s started to lose ground, Nokia has opted for this trick as well - it was very clear already a few months before the presentation of 5800XM, the ...
