People into night photography should buy a DSLR, not a camera-phone if they want good night photos at long exposures.
It would be better if they had given more control of shutter speed and ISO, but it can take good night photos and can do short light trails, but not crazy effects with long shutter speeds.
There´s no need to go radical.

Just accept the fact that the N8 is not meant for capturing photos with motion blur. Even my N82 can't, but my former
G502 can.
And the fast shutter will be my another definite reason of buying a N8. I really don't like blurred shots.
My statement above is only my humble opinion and doesn't meant to offend anybody.
Stick to Satio my friend since I observed that
's can have slow shutters.

I think you expected too much from the phone. It can do good night photos so it's not fair to say that can't do good night photography just because it can't do long exposure effects, not all low light photos need long exposures. That's reality, it's radical to say don't get the N8 if you take a lot of night time photos

The question is:
Why stick to only one world when it´s easy to have both?

No, it´s not radical.
If you have other options on the market that can do better night shots, it´s reasonable, IF YOU ARE KEEN ON NIGHT SHOTS, not to buy the N8.
Buying a Satio over a N8 is much less radical than buying a DSLR over an N8.

@mriley i agree with you 100% on that point about getting a proper camera. Come on guys you are expecting too much. Even most compact cameras out there struggle in low light its hard to get low light perfect. Expecting miracle night shots on a phone is radical. There is no doubt the N8 is the best camera phone so far produced but if you are whole heartedly serious about photography a mobile phone is simply not the way to go. I have taken some good night shots with a phone most come out poor but who cares if you cannot get long exposure light trails. For me as long as daytime shots and flash shots come out decent and i can at least take a clear night shot i care not for light trails and again i say you are expecting too much. Just enjoy it for what it does do best

what is the setting did damian used? is it auto? nightmode? because if its nightmode then why its not written in the exif.
we all know that Nightmode setting in camera phones was the only way to have longer shutter speed then it should be written in the exif in link above and if you'll read carefully the title of the picture was "Taken during the developement" so it means that time the N8 was not fully developed. I think lets wait for the N8 users to post there pictures with Nightmode settings then lets check its exif data.

I am not expecting too much. Who on earth would expect Nokia to come up with a 1/1.83" sensor?
If they´ve coped with that HW challange, why on earth they can´t do that ridiculous SW change to the camera?
That makes no sense at all.

Then have both! The N8 at day and the Satio at night!
Me too, I'm totally agree with mriley. But the bottomline is, don't persuade somebody's decisions. Don't persuade people from buying the N8 just because of the fast shutter. Most of mobile phone users wants such speedy shutter for taking personal or casual potraits.

If it manages to output good pictures @ higher ISO speeds, imagine what it would do @ lower ISO speeds.
And I am not only talking about the noise either.
I´m talking about the effects we can obtain with longer exposure times:
See the light trails? That´s simply not possible with an N8.
Longer exposures... like 4 seconds at ISO 50?
Still four years later there is no camphone beating the i-mobile 902 on low light photos.
