True... I'd never buy a Nokia smartphone immediately after it's been released, they usually have several software-problems, I've bought my N97 after the fourth software-update, when it was five months on the market : it was more stable then and 100 euro cheaper

Primarily fiddling around with the file system or being able to alter things on the phone which you cannot on an Apple phone or Android handset. Or at least, not as in such an advanced way.
@ sotam - it depends on the user. Personally, i dont mind using a new OS with tons of bugs if it means im using something new, unique and im able to watch it grow into something powerful. To me, a buggy phone is almost more attractive than a stable phone. It represents a challenge.
@ jake20 - i preordered my N8 just after posting here yesterday. Luckily, in the UK you're able to choose from any colour when preordering. I decided to go for the orange colour since i dont see many orange phones around and it'll catch peoples eye when they see me using it. Again like i said above, i like to stand out of the crowd somewhat with new phones. I hate it when you buy a new phone and within a week of release you see hundreds of people with the same phone. Only the orange colour was listed as limited edition on the Nokia UK webshop.
It was the same story back in 2006, i waited months for SE to release a proper successor to the K750i and along came the K800i. Which i never liked from day one. So instead i waited patiently until September 2006 and out came the brilliant Nokia N93. By modern day standards, it was a brick, but the first mainstream handset which recorded VGA video with stereo sound - like the N8 does, but now in 720p. I remember the day i walked into the O2 shop where i live, asked the guys behind the counter how to setup my 3G internet on my new N93 phone and they asked what phone. When i took it out they all suddenly came running over when the guy serving me shouted 'hey this guys got a N93 !!' - priceless ! its like nobody in the UK had seen such a unique phone before. I never saw anyone with the same phone either.
Regarding your questions, i dont see why it wouldnt work straight away. I dont know much about US networks like AT&T but here in the UK its pretty straight forward. As for the price, you'll pay slightly more from the official Nokia store than if you bought the phone sim free from a retail store, but i usually find its worth it if you're getting the phone a week or two before everyone else.

i noticed the UK release is 1 month later (oct) than the US release (sept).. maybe the colored phones will not be production ready by end of Sept.. that stinks for us here in USA
If they had Orange or Blue, i would pre-order one right now.. but I do not want to get a boring dark grey phone.

Etaab
Do you mean like being able to overclock and underclock CPU, mess around the file system of apps etc...? Believe it or not X-Plore by LCG is available on Android
and allows that ,as well as lots of CPU management apps. Have you actualy used an Android extensively? Dont under estimate it thats all im going to say,theres TONS that can be done on this OS.

but do any Android phones have the largest camera sensor with wide angle 12MP Carl Zeiss optics & XENON flash?
and offline GPS which does not require a signal to operate or download maps?
these are 2 pretty big reasons to get an N8

My point was about "advanced functions"
GPS wise if you want to wait a whole century for your phone to even lock then go ahead and use Offline, with my 5800 and latest Ovi Maps i have to set A-GPS/Using network to be on, dont be fooled by the whole on phone maps, havent realy found G-Maps an issue,its ALWAYS up to date and far more accurate.
Well there is the Moto XT720 with 8MP Xenon flash as well as HDMI, but no,not the largest sensor in a mobile.

here is some interesting info regarding the camera on the N8.. seems they made a lot of changes.. honestly after reading this , i am not so sure how good the picture quality will be. it sounds like this camera may not be as good in low light as the previous N86, and also there is
no Video light on it as well.
I think i may wait for some reviews to come out first now..
