I wonder if Symbian supports ext3. The N8 has USB on the go and is capable of 720p playback over HDMI, but any movies would be too large for FAT32.

Although without 1080p support, it's only 90% there to being a portable movie player.

I don't see any notification that it has native xvid/divx playback...

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

You might be right. But I am quite sure it Will... n900 like.

There is a very good post on slashgear about Nokia...

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

You could try formatting a micro SD card and putting it on a phone... if I have some time this afternoon I'll test that in my E71.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

Dont hate on Engadget. One of the best sites out there. I check that more than I do this forum. Also gizmodo, arstechnica, kotaku, cnn, yahoo finance and gamespot/gamepro amongst many other. You drank a tall glass of Haterade this morning huh?

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

I would say they drink said tall glass of Haterade before writing anything Nokia-related. Action and reaction.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

This thing called 'mid-range' appears to be vanishing... I'll go with 'cheap high-end'

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

I dont think they do. They are just like us excited about new stuff. When it arrives they give it a look over just like I would personally. Most of their reviews are spot on in my opinion-as far as stuff I would like is concerned- and they have disappointments also when the hardware doesnt match the hype. I've met one of thier guys and he(Chris Ziegler) was just as geeked about cell phones like me. He was walking around with the Cliq before anybody else (review unit) and he I were discussing the possibility of Tmobile bringing the N900 into the fold. Evetybody has their views on things and I think that maybe people hate a little too much-(FANBOY Statement) maybe because they are so huge and break so many stories people get jealous cause thier little site doesnt garner any attention. That's all Im saying.

there are videos on youtube

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

Engadget are everything what's wrong with net they are so biased against anything not US they see fit to write what they want without caring about facts and they form part of the Steve Jobs brigade. now lets get back on topic

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

First, I really have no time to go around looking for all the subtle (and not too subtle) jabs they have thrown at Nokia, but they have been there, and very clearly in the open.

Second, everyone can have their views, but there is this little important thing called criteria and objectivity. Which many writers of Engadget (and other blogs), clearly don't have, period. One of them said that Eldar's review was "thorough"! Instead of trying to understand why a company (let's say Nokia in this case) does this or that, explain it, and let readers take their own choices, they go this way: Pretty UI + Shiny = Amazing review! A gadget being shiny doesn't guarantee success (Palm Pre?). Many other factors do.

In a more general sense, it is something that seems to have taken over many tech blogs, form over function and lack of analysis. Which is really sad for someone looking for informed opinions.

Edit: I bet... (and I actually had this idea, but didn't have time to do it...) that if someone were to make a fake leak of the new iPhone OS 4 features, but instead put Symbian^3 features on it, all blogs would explode in orgasm. Something like the Mojave test that Microsoft did.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

where is the physical keyboard? this is a phone for kids ;) (rich kids)

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

Do you not hate when you open a thread at just the wrong time? Halfway through a debate which sounds interesting but then again it looks like a long read to catch up....

A little off topic I know.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

This is the N8x, AKA, the top camera phone. A keyboard would probably come with the N9x (if they release a Symbian^3 edition), or the E7x (of which there was already a picture leaked).

Depending on the time frame, there is a chance there won't be a Symbian^3 N9x; either they could wait for Symbian^4, or reserve the N9x for MeeGo.

Pure speculation btw.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

are those games made with qt like angry birds?

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

I belive that the GPU is made by Braodcomm as www.Mobil.se is claiming to be:

here is some information of Broadcomm GPU:

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

Apparently, the N8 has quite an impressive image sensor. I guess this explains the fantastic images we saw.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

I still do not like the design of the phone. Looks way too much like the Sidekick LX (tapered shape)

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

Hahaha! Saying that this thing looks like sidekick lx is like saying that iPhone 4G looks like Motorola cliq xt :)

I think that was a bit over the top.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

Strategyanalytics, mobilemarket analysts, wrote about N8 after talking with Jo Harlow (she's in charge of Nokia's Symbian hardware). They also say that the GPU is from Broadcom. So it's propably one of Broadcom's VideoCore GPUs.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

And where is the next MeeGo device? :(

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

That would mean that, aside the 3D GPU requirement, Symbian^3 core shouldn't be much more different than ^2 or S60v5 (^1). That would be interesting from a porting app sense. Also, in a sense is a testimony that Symbian's core really doesn't need much improvements, in terms of features and resource-use.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

meego isn't even out yet. why are you bothering about the next meego device?

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

In the future. More accurately Q4 and if we wanna nitpick, Nokia World 2010(September). ;)

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

So Anssi Vanjoki knows what;s he is talking about after all :)

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

Do you think they will pick it up? I tipped them several times they never get it published :( Is there anything particular that you wrote might get their attention? ;)

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

MeeGo IS out even if it is a developers build. If you like to admit it, fine, if not also fine.

Thanks. I was also wondering when Nokia World 2010 was :P Guess Ill still have to wait a while.

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

the phone is actually starting to grow on me.

just wish they had gone with an arm cortex a8, but from what i'm ready the arm 11 with the gpu is supposed to be really nice.

just hope that nokia ships all there phones with the world 3g bands. that would be awesome. not having to worry if the your new phone supports your 3g is def a plus.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ON THE NEW NOKIA N-8 RUNNING SYMBIAN 3, WITH FLASH SUPPORT ON BROWSER AND THOUSAND OF APPS IN OVI STORE?

srsly dude...like really?

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

you put a " :( ", which shows disappointment/sadness. there's no stable meego build out yet so there'll probably be no announcements of a meego device. why are you getting sad over a wip?

Re: Nokia n-8
 

I'm ready to read reviews on it, and I don't trust Eldar, but I think it would be better with Maemo on it.

Re: Nokia n-8
 

Wellcome thread number 2177654 about N8. This one has OP in CAPS.

All different all equal.

Re: Nokia n-8
 

Well, here is another review... http://tweakers.net/reviews/1645/han...-nokia-n8.html

The Google translation is a bit ****ed up though.

For those who root a multimedia Symbian device from Nokia (their flagship) with capacitive touchscreen with similar specss N900 this is a device to consider as upgrade path from N97 (or N95).

If you prefer Maemo you're better off with N900 or its succesors.

Re: Nokia n-8
 

[CAPS]I think that by typing something in caps lock is extremely annoying! And what's even more annoying is that you didn't do the simple search as this has been mentioned about 10000 times!!![/CAPS]

Re: Nokia n-8
 

Media seems like the huge selling point on this phone. I know a couple multimedia students that'll want this. When all is said and done though, it's still built on that lunk o' junk that is Symbian... I'll stick with my N900.

... although HDMI output would be awesome...

... but not for that phone as its only 320x640....

Re: Nokia n-8
 

why is everyone hating on our beloved symbian!?

Re: Here's the Nokia N8-00 ?
 

Looking at the official pics, it looks really good. I love the physical design and color choices.
