Anonymous 2Ex 07 Oct 2010 Anonymous, 07 Oct 2010Video comp N8 vs. Iphone 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5uaYAg5TMc&feature=player_embeddedto be honest I no care much about Camera on Phone. That is why called a Phone and not a Camera. I use my Sony TX7. I need my Phone for Call, Video Calling, many Applications, and easy use. I have my iPhone 4 for 4 months and not even take one video with it.On other hand can not compare the 5MP to 12 MP camera too.

When it is ... moreI read this comment earlier today or yesterday and I don't quite get it. When I search for "asphalt" on my N8 in the OVI Store, it offers me Asphalt 5 HD for the price of 3 euros. To me that sounds pretty official? But truth be told, it should be pulled out of there till it runs like it should. Reply ?

Reports say that newer batches of the phone wouldnt have those problems to the same extent as the first ones, but can't confirm that myself I'd say iPhones camera might win that competition, it has been very well tuned and the pictures come out very nice, but the colors are ALWAYS off. In many cases the picture looks good but you cant get natural skin color with the iPhone, really. It's either red skin or yellow skin. The earlier Nokias would probably produce more natural colors. Side to side many might vote the iPhone as winner though. The N8s camera though wipes the floor with iPhones cos of just more natural colors and alot better picture, but if we'd simply compare 5mpix cameras. The N8 has very good battery and if you run it in battery saving mode (like 2 taps after you've unlocked, very easy and handy), it could probably go on for 3 days on average use. Naturally the battery saving mode turns down performance and the little eyecandy the Symbian has, but in cases where ur battery is running dry, the battery saving mode will most likely easily make it till you get home to charge it.

Reply W Wheez nSS 07 Oct 2010 Anonymous, 07 Oct 2010yeah, it has more then 10 apps open and it uses 26% of the cpu so why does it need 1ghz? a... moreThat's most likely not cos of the low CPU as it is (or ok, it is cos it has been optimized for faster CPUs), but in theory im 99% sure it could run just as well as on any other machine if it took proper use out of the GPU. We've seen games that don't shame in visual looks to the Asphalt, but still run shitloads better. Other devices have stronger CPU - weaker GPU. N8 has decent CPU - decent/good GPU. In real life and benchmarks those end up very even, but since Asphalt has been made for the strong CPU devices first, if they try to lazily port it over without reoptimizing, it's not gonna run well. Given, that can be seen as a downside for the N8: porting games from other platforms is not so easy.

Also sorta depending which one you think looks better. If I was you and liked the looks of the N8 better, I'd probably get that. If even/iPhone more, then just the iPhone.

However I can feel that is quite a big weakness for someone who wants to take a lot of videos, in this case I'd probably suggest some phone that does have a video light. Reply ?
