Exclusive: Nokia N8 12MP unveiled

UI looks sluggish, isn’t it Abe?

I <3 your job!! RT @abeolandres Exclusive: Nokia N8 launch here in Singapore. Photos and videos here — http://www.yugatech.com/blog/mobile/excl… #nc2010

wag na kayo mag taka kung bat mabagal UI kelangan pa bang i memorize yan?!

UI is still unimpressive. can’t see any improvements over the demos i’ve seen before. performance is laggy and somewhat only comparable to other handsets using resistive screens. so much for the its-just-a-prototype excuse.

however, this is definitely a nice buy for those who want a phone with a better snapper.

I really want to get this phone. I just hope that Nokia doesn’t give me reason not to…

N8 or iPhone 4?Hmmm…

video seems the same with my iphone 3g with just 2MP =)

@mike – the 12mp of this N8 is just the same quality as iphone’s 2MP…

Impressive phone.. Hope I get this one for free from a retention program via Smart :) which is just around time it should be released here

im curious about the hdmi out performance.. any feedback?

as an apple user, i beg to disagree with both herce and mike. these two people obviously haven’t tried apple products or have never had the capacity to buy one. either way, apple consumers are not morons—we just happen to appreciate the balance between good aesthetics and functionality.

Okay – I can say from my personal time with the N8 that if you disable the transition effecfts it’s really really quick – way faster than the Iphone 4 demo I tried.

I guess it’s like Symbian^1 – disable effects and you have a lightning fast ui – or enable effects and it’s like any Android or Iphone.

@Roland – Seriously if you compare the video or pictures from the N8 to the crap Iphone camera you sir are just a fanboy with no reality sense.

I like my Iphone 3GS but I’m upgrading to the N8 and hot I4 as the I4 simply just doesnt pack the ‘punch’ also the price of the N8 will make is a success.

Note on USB 2.1. USB 3 has just been released. Basing on what happened to previous version and the need for it, I suspect it will be adopted and implemented fast on mobile phones. I expect all 2.1 compliant Nokia phones to depreciate fast.

sana d tumaas ng 30k pag lumabas na d2 sa pinas

i like to this Nokia N8 because its memory is very high and there is option of extra card be attached.

i hope that someone out there will post the settings of the camera of this phone. i am not talking about the specs. what i want to know is the camera setting features like scene mode, wh balance,exposure among the other old nokia phones have. does it feature something new still camera effects like some of the sony ericson cybershot have( specially the modded ones ) phone.

iphone has bslance functionality hw and sw. well i think anndroid is the direct competitor ng appke which steve feels betrayed by google coz he knows n o mging pen source ang google amdroid they are forcing apple n mgbaba ng price.para mgbaba ng presyo hail to google

wew di pa lumalabas may mga hang na agad na issue.. hehehe.. nokia talaga oh. pero kahit ganun love ko pa din nokia.. nokia 5800 xpressmusic user ako at so far ok naman pero dahil lumabas na ang N8 mukhang maiiba na na naman pag iipunan ko hehehehe. niluma na yung N97 na gusto kong ipalit dito sa tube ko. kasi symbian 3 to eh..

Still Symbian OS…. Nokia should have Android Platform OS… Ill go for iPhone4.

I just bought N8 last sat, Nov. 13. It was carefully handled. Unfortunately, after two days the camera phone is already busted. I brought it in a nokia authorized repair center and followed it up after two days, they said it was sent to Makati (main office) for a higher level of repair. Is this what you call worth your hard-earned money? …. definitely NOT from my horrible experience. Imagine the inconvenience it caused me. I transferred all my contacts after I bought my unit and only to know that all files will be deleted. I have more than 500 contacts which I transferred via Bluetooth ( my old unit do not have applications to transfer files). I’m really DISAPPOINTED with this unit and Nokia does not care less to replace my unit. Is this my fault??? My fault is buying a DEFECTIVE unit. What about quality control?? I could have bought IPhone 4 instead. I can’t accept the fact that I’m bringing a two day old nokia unit for repair?? I have nokia units before and they never failed me. Why only now? Why this N8 unit?? The so-called best camera phone ever!!!!!!

Damn! That Phone is cooler than I thought someday i wish i have one of that Nokia N8

all the time i used to read smaller articles or reviews
which also clear their motive, and that is also happening with this piece of
writing which I am reading here.
