Good luck with the sale. I've got both and after a month switched my main SIM back into the N900. The N8 is a super device and if I had gone directly from the 5800 XpressMusic to it I'd be nothing but happy. But after 11 months of hauling a computer with a SIM in it in my pocket I have grown use to the abilities of the N900. This takes nothing away from the N8, it is just that the N900, for all of its shortcomings in the phone department, meets my needs better.

It is a great device. And Nokia can correct all the mistakes if they want. The last thing that ticked me off was while using the GPS yesterday, I wasn't able to save locations onto the device, as you can do with other Nokia products. That was the last straw that made me go crazy. lol.

Technically you could. You just can't do it in Ovi Maps. You'd have to use Mappero, Modrana, or Sygic Mobile Maps.

Well I have both the Nokia N8 and Nokia N900..

Here are the things which I personally like about the N8:
OVI Maps
Superb Camera
Capacitive Screen with 'Pinch-to-zoom'
USB on the Go
the numerous apps from OVI store
knowing that Nokia won't stop supporting you in terms of updates etc.


However, I really miss the hardware keyboard which is present on my N900 and the open-ness of Maemo.

Also, Symbian feels kinda weird on a touch-screen device (in my opinion Maemo is the ideal OS for touch-screen phones).

But overall, I am happy with both devices. I would never sell either of them.

Good to see I wasn't the only one in IA with an N900. Go Cyclones! :D

As long as marketing works, mankind will not be free.

Good N8.

How do you use both phones at the same time?

I could test the N8 the whole day today and the browser is so incredible slow.
I was mssing my N900 just a few minutes after I gave it away. :D

At least you have come to a conclusion. What I would suggest though, is to pop in a Nokia Shop or any other mobile phone shop and try the N8 (just to see how it works). Its good for entertainment but for other tasks you want the N900. :)

the N900 is a superior device. very tempted by the N8 because Maemo looks way better in promos than real life. what really ticks me off is kinetic scrolling, 5 to 8 FPS is pathetic, worse than symbian 1.

still, the OS is Linux, so it's very open. terribly slow UI, even when overclocked to 1.15Ghz, is no reason to get a new phone.
