Should I exchange iphone 3gs 32gb with nokia n8+2800??

[ujjwal321]

What say guys.. Anyone who has used both the devices?? I dont use a lot of apps.. Few games and few useful app is all i need.. My major concern is battery life.. How does n8's battery life compare with 3gs's?? How much improvement does the latest anna and belle update bring to the user experience?

No ways...may be camera and battery are better in nokia but ultimately its going to die and you can get N8's for around 13K used.
U shuld ask the seller 2800 for xchanging with iPhone.

The n8 is also a used one and the seller is giving me 2800 and a n8..

may be good for a change, n8 is definitely of the best camera phones around. Hardware wise I will put both the phones at same spot (both have a 600mhz processor).
Tough the gpu on 3gs is stronger

Display: n8 will be an awesome upgrade in terms of display, n8 has an amoled screen and higher ppi (more sharper text)

[Gaurav265]

You should take n8 if you don't want to use too many apps.

iPhone 3GS has a much much better value IMO.

Who buys Nokia premium phones anyways. Nokia premium phone users are considered as ignorant of iPhones and Androids.

[Empirial]

Since you're not much into "Apps" Nokia N8 will be fine for you.

[thetechfreak]

The iPhone is better any day. Just see the robust stability of iOS 5 and compare it with a Nokia you will know better.
A person who might not have used a iPhone might say N8 is better but just use it once and you will know what I an talking off

[Sarath]

IOS is the most pampering of all OSes. You're going to miss it.

Don't do the switch unless you need more battery, better pics and videos.

[noob]

A big NO

[Anorion]

uh? lol iPhone ofc

[thetechfreak]

Other than camera category of videos and photos the iPhone is better than all others. Go to any big mall and use it. Take my word you will leave with a big

[Zangetsu]

@ujjwal321: u shud have opened a vote poll here to know views (yes/no)..
anyways I suggest also to keep the 3GS with u only & don't exchange its not worth.

Who buys Nokia Phone these days ?? They give you an excellent Hardware Body, are great as a Phone but suck big time as Smart phones. Gone are the days of Nokia, which was once upon a time the undisputed world champion of Mobile Phone Industry. "It is like the film Once upon a time in Mumbai". It was once upon a time where people used to buy Nokia Phones, no longer now. If you use Apps or not. Without thinking a lot either buy a iPhone or buy any Android Phones.

WP7 looks promising but not many feedback yet available on how it is. So...in your case stick to iPhone 3GS.

Peace !

Sorry to dissapoint you. But people still buy Nokia phones and in big numbers. Yes they donot buy the expensive top end phones but the low end section and low-mid section is ruled by Nokia.
If no one would have bought Nokia phones the finnish giant would have shut shop a long time back

You didn't read properly what I wrote, I am saying people no longer buy in the kind of numbers they used to about 3-4 years back.

[thetechfreak]

Friend you only wrote "it was once upon a time when people used to buy Nokia phones no longer now"
I am refering to that exact part. What does it mean to you?

[abhidev]

dude ur iphone is 32gb....how much is the N8??? well not worth it IMO

[red dragon]

A big yes!!N8 is a great phone,I bet you are tired of app.overdose(I am)
you will be happy with a phone with all basic apps,a good screen,brilliant built and awesome camera and audio.
3gs is a good phone,but as outdated as N8.

[Zangetsu]

^^1st vote for N8

16GB internal memory...

[ujjwal321]

Thank you guys for all your inputs.. But I was seeking comparison from some one who has used both the phones.. Also about the new software updates from nokia. Any one knows how much a second hand n8 and 3gs 32gb costs??

[red dragon]

Hey,I have used and abused both,and a couple of more top notch phones.
I can assure you,N8 is a great phone,while the symbian is not as fluid as io.s,but it more than makes it up with much superior multimedia performance than 3gs.
If you are not an apps junkie,you will still love Anna on n8.I have not used Belle.It must be even better.

[ujjwal321]

How does the battery life compare?? Would you exhange 3gs with n8+2800??

[Omi]

I would.
n8 is a good phone, ios is good but since you are not much into apps it doesn't matter much. The screen would be a great refresh, AMOLED screen on n8 is great and more crispier than 3gs (due to higher ppi). Camera is a huge bonus
also that 3k cash sounds good for a party

& what about UI smoothness,transistions in N8 compared to 3GS?

[Rohan_B]

Don't get the N8. iPhone 3GS Is WAY better.
Get the N8 only if you want a great camera. Even if you are not using Apps the stability of iOS is far better than Symbian.
Most Nokia phones tend to slow down after some weeks of use. Not with the iPhone.
So Yeah, Keep the iPhone. if you are desperate to change then sell your phone and get a Decent Droid or WP7 phone.
Apple has great resale value and you will get a great price for the 32 Gigs version.

[thetechfreak]

People who have not used the iPhone or iPod Touch(same as iphone) extensively enough will say N8 is better.
Take my word. Spend a week with iPhone and another week with N8 and you will understand what I am talking off

[red dragon]

Dude,have used a 3gs extensively,an ipod touch 3rd gen superextensively and I am known as a fanboy here.
Even then I will suggest the o.p to get the N8.

If the N8 is about 6_7 months old and the 3gs is more than 1 year,would grab the deal.
Battery life in N8 is phenomenal compared to 3gs.

[aroraanant]

If I would be at your place then I would not have got indulged in this deal,well thats my personal opinion now its upto you
