優點:
- Carl Zeiss + 12MP Camera + Xenon Flash (This is a key point using this Nokia N8, although there are so many smartphone with 5MP or 8MP, they don't produce quality pictures, good pictures need a good lens; this is the one)
- Belle OS, it runs much smoothier than before and less buggy (If you haven't upgraded, you haven't experienced the real Nokia OS)
- The AMOLED is clear and crispy
- Solid and well built (Now so many phones are so "light" in the sense that they are using a lot of cheap plastic. When you pick up this phone, you can feel how solid Nokia used to build the phone, the buttons are real but not soft buttons, it is easier to press actually and anti-scratch)
- HDMI output (This phone is running on a 680MHz CPU only, but it can run mirroring so smooth and also output HD pictures and video to HDTV, and you can connect to keyboard and mouse through bluetooth like a mini computer)
缺點:
- Battery can last for one to two days only (but it seems all phone is like this now except Motorola Razr Maxx, which has 4000MAh battery)
- A bit expensive (but you can consider second hand, like i did)
- Yes, sadly Symbian is abandoned by Nokia, although will be supported by Accenture until 2016

- This is no gamer. It can certainly run games like angry birds or HD Sherk, but it's not gonna be close to Tegra 3 from NVIDIA. So if you needs 3D game on your phone, this is not the one. I play 3D game on my iPad 3 only, well, I don't wanna drain out all battery before I arrive my office.
- This is a good phone for daily life, smooth, good camera, easy to use, intuitive designed. Belle has given a brand new experience of using Nokia and actually I think i got all the apps I need for everyday like quick office, Skype, Super Nokia map, music player, whatsapp, CNN and good predictive chinese handwriting.
- I have recently bought a 64GB card for this phone and I can load tons of photos and videos and songs into N8 now. When 128GB decrease its price, I will buy one for it too.
- Please don't compare hardware spec in a blind way, like this is single core or 500Mhz or 256MB ram. I was a system engineer before and I understand that how a system is written is more important than the hardware. Those systems need a lot of resources and thus they need high end CPU and a lot of battery and memory. It may means some systems was not well optimized only. Symbian was day one designed for mobile, Android was evolved from Linux and google has paid a great deal of effort to trim its android, but still linux was used in PC more than special hardware like mobile phone. Of course I am also disappointed why Nokia doesn't put a dual-core CPU in their phones since they are already using ARM CPU. Well, of course, the valuation of the brand Nokia should be very low right now.
