Great N82 replacement.

N8 have got good reviews...I too wanna see how it works realtime...but price tag of 26k is too much...it would be great if it comes down to 22k

And N8 support divx soo u can play avi on that....flv can be played even on my 5800..it will definitely work on N8

[ssk_the_gr8]

overpriced.. 22K should be the price

[aniket.cain]

It will come down to 22k in a couple of months. Anyways, my friend got it yesterday, and it is awesome.

[gagan007]

Already!!!!!!
that's good news...I will let some people buy it, lets see if the hardware needs any upgrade/modification or not. In the meantime the price will also drop in my opinion...

my friend bought n8 for 25k yesterday, its actually the mrp price that you guys are discussing here. Camera looks cool but this must features are missing:

1)There is no video light for recording hd videos at low light in N8.
2)There is no auto focus while capturing videos in N8.

[sujoyp]

autofocus in video is only in SE vivaz

[sujoyp]

some good news for N8 lovers

The latest Nokia flagship is actually capable of doing even better images and what's more important - it's quite apable of outputting 30 fps HD video with continuous autofocus.

Just read it on twitter..
Some maheshtelecom in mumbai is selling it for 23.5k..
So i guess 26k is the MRP but one can easily get the phone arnd 23-24k

[aniket.cain]

Well, My frnd got it from NPD, Bangalore itself for 24k yesterday.

Got my review unit from Nokia yesterday. Will be spending the next 2 weeks with the N8

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.

Is the camera good enough to replace a digital camera? How fast is the s^3 compared to s60? How responsive is the screen and any unique feature?

[Zangetsu]

26k is good for 12MP camera....with Xenon (wow)
prices will be lower in 3~4 months.....

Mobile's camera cant replace digital dedicated camera due to weight / size limitations.

good camera should have large sensor, large lens, good flash. all these would add to size / weight of mobile.

Well. It can't replace a digital camera due to lack of optical zoom. But for everything else its as good if not better than 'many' digital cameras (not all)

Quite fast compared to S^1. Screen is responsive but there are occasions when it doesn't respond that well. Not as responsive as some other phones in the market. Though not way behind them.

Unique features are USB OTG, HDMI output, FM transmitter.....

It's about codec.Some files from youtube uses aac1 and other codecs which are not supported by these family of s60.(except samsung model no I forgot).
So no player would be able to play those.
