the only drawback for me is there won't be as many apps for it compared to iphone or android..
No there will not, but the point id like to make is where there will be less quantity, there will be more quality. Nokia apps are usually useful in some way or another and quite sophisticated. The novelty apps are usually kept to a minimum or free.
Have you ever seen the Apple iTunes store's apps ? the amount of pure novelty apps or gimmicks just there to fill the void of the iPhone 4 not being a true smartphone is terrible. In order to find something of any interest you have to search through the dregs of nonesense to find anything worthwhile or useful.

For starters, the N8 has a 680MHz cpu, while the others are 1GHz. Screen is also much smaller and lower res.
Do you know why most of the latest phones use 1ghz processors ? its because Android needs it. Its a much more intensive OS that needs more raw processing power to actually operate at the same level a Symbian powered phone can operate at. It also needs a faster CPU to ensure the phone can handle updates (1.6 to 2.1, 2.1 to 2.2 etc) and its higher screen resolutions.
I suppose its like saying a truck will need a 8 litre petrol engine, whilst a car can make do with a 1.4 or 2.2 litre engine. It doesnt mean the truck is faster or has any advantage over the car.
For want of a better way of illustrating it, Android is less sophisticated than the well established Symbian - IMHO of course !

man, the N8 is getting proclaimed a failure already by many.. Is Symbian this bad? I don't understand the hatred here toward the N8, but its not changing my mind at all. I still have mine pre-ordered

Most of these tech site's article's points are pointless, only thing they manage to nails N8 is the software.
I have pretty low expectation for ^3 OS, so surprise me Nokia.
Hardware wise, symbian OS software still dont require those big specs run, therefore the current CPU set up should be enough if Nokia software people fine tunes it.
What users should be aware is having a 1GHZ CPU a big high res screen only drags down the battery life. The dreaded Satio i am using barely last 30 hour standby, I have to have a backup battery in my pocket all the time. Phone is NOT a proper net surfing device, it seems bloody Apple has lead people think it is one, the net function has some what over taken the actual phone function.
I stress time after time, today's battery technology does not allow phones to be long lasting net device. IT defeats the purpose for a MOBILE phone when you need charger everywhere and backup battery, then the threat of running out of power when you least wants it to be.
For all those believe mobile phone is Phone > Camera > net device, N8 is just right... (provided its battery stands up to the test, that is realistic usage for 48 hours minimum)
For those think Mobile phone is Net Device > Phone > camera. Get the iphone and all the android bunch.
Ipad type device is a proper mobile net device, not a phone!

@Jake
I think Symbian from Nokia will be better than Symbian from
[s60v5], at least about software update
Complaint!
Look what they did to 5800XM that over two years of available and it still update even both of N97 still receive better upgrade in Symbian software department, unlike SATIO for instance my FAITH on
had been collapsed because lacks of enough effort over premium product.
Hey look , I paid for it almost 600 for only 7 months of software supported even it minor one, I never ask for any new upgrade like those petitions wrote about but simple of usage
had show no supported to me [original one look very sluggish look at new software of S60v5 since N97 if don't understand what I try to interpret] and don't mind if I call it another half-baked project.
Well!, or should I blame myself that asking too much from
just thing like this?
Well! my SATIO sim-free and one month of warranty left what should I do with Keep/Lay Off at 70% of price drop
N8 available pre-order to my country and price tag and blue color is really tempt about under 400
but only one matter hold me off this Symbian UI really sluggish not flavor them much!
@Vit and etaab
I'd to ask if you owned two of this camera monster
Is N8 able to hold comfortable when take a picture like SATIO one hand grip because of it shape?
To me N8 design and picture preview I feel it quite doesn't one
@Norbi_nw I follow you there

@etaab : Plix port S3 to Satio/Vivaz somehow
I understand 680MHz is sufficient, but we are men, we need that 8L truck engine in our For Fiesta

Jake, donīt you worry about those articles...
I would not even consider that from pcworld.com. Itīs a completely biased analysis. Itīs even comparing the SIM-free price of the N8 with a TWO-YEAR carrierīs contract price of the competition.
Take a look at this follow-up to those 4 reasons regarding the comparison with the iPhone4:

Also take a look at these recent reviews:

...with the corresponding fuel consumption? Watch the battery percentage tick down in real time, like the 'Hummingbird' battery in Apple's new
MacBook Wheel
