OVI Store on the phone.How does it compare to Market (not the variety and whats on offer) but the user friendliness and ease of installing stuff.I love Market.

How does this review work Tsepz? I take it after 2 weeks you write a review and send it off and then wait for announcement.Who is the review for? Please dont say Nokia themselves because everyone will just end up writing 'sucking ass' reviews.lol

Thanks Hobbs! Im busy downloading Ovi Store now, for some strange reason Nokia havent preinstalled it in any N8s.
 the review is indeed for Nokia, ive figured out how i will do the review. Going to begin writing this weekend, already taken pics and everything, just gota mess around now. Its good to be on holiday or this would be realy bitter sweet.

Ovi Store is great  very smooth, not so clunky anymore, the Android Market is more polished. Great thing is that with Ovi Store you can buy apps with your airtime, none of that credit card/paypal rubbish, prices are very decent to. R25 for Angry Birds (its free on Android) but its paid app on all other platforms. Overall the Ovi Store has come a long way, Google better hurry up with the support for operator billing, Ovi Store is not very far off being a major rival, its still a bit buggy as i said,not as polishd as Market.

The best things in life are free
Yah,im realy enjoying this phone, glad Nokia finaly got a wake up call, the sad thing is that they could have released this phone last year and stopped many of us from leaving, this thing would have destroyed all in its path and could have made it very hard for Android to take off the way it has outside the USA.

Did a battery test on the N8 today, i was hard on it, took over 20pics, a ton of screenshots, web browsing on and off for 6hours, 2hours music, recorded a video in HD, did a bit of Facebooking, and browsed Tweets of #N8ReviewZA, also watched a short HD video, had a few calls, both no longer than 15mins, got and sent a few sms and got quite a lot of emails due to Facebook.
Just over 8hours of all that and i got the 1st low batt warning, that is excellent considering i used many things that suck battery.
Moderate use on this should easily give you two days, i'll test that to be sure this weekend, im impressed with the battery.
Overall though the N8 is Symbian S60v5 with some great additions, but its got nothing on Android, things just work better, consistantly and faster on Android, there's this incomplete feeling i get with S3.

SE's version of Pinch-to-Zoom ("multitouch") coming to X10 next year...

SE Anzu (X12) will be "suicide" if released as is - apparently :

The Anzu is getting strangled already and it hasn't even got in the blocks.
SE is a marked company at the moment.
Who the hell is in charge there.
Come out and fight.
Make it happen.
X10 was the market Android tester.
If they had learnt anything,the Anzu should be right up there trading punches with the best of best.
Its very sad that they have such a good thing going but for some insane reason can't see it.
Timescape/Mediascape,I say if its implementation is slowing down their ability to keep up with the rest then rethink the whole thing because releasing a phone with the latest Software gives you a fighting chance out there.
Having Gingerbread on the Anzu is the key SE.Get it in there as soon as possible.Screw Timescape/Mediascape
and the fancy SE overlay.
Market the Anzu with the latest Android software.Create some hype.
The X10 been released with 1.6 has done some serious damage.
Yes,Timescape is awesome and so is Mediascape but if that is what stopped my X10 from getting Eclair earlier then shit somethings off keel here.

Couldn't have put it better Hobbs, if their custom UI isn't cutting it then let it go, better yet keep the 2.1 dark blue/black theme, and leave out TS and MS.

Thanks bro at this point i still like the X10 more, but the N8 has the potential, Nokia realy need to bring it out, but they carry on making stupid little mistakes, those major updates are what im waiting for, whether i have the N8 or not when they come.

Congrats! Do share your final impressions on the N8 soon.
@Hobbs
Agree, SE needs to come out fighting in every way. If their UXP is holding them back I, like you, say do away with it unless they can speed up the process.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Hobbs: Well put - I agree with your thoughts on SE and their direction. You would think someone at the top would read SOMETHING on the interwebs and see that this is how people feel....Arrogance: look at where it has got Nokia lately.... |

I just want Anzu to do really well.The time is here and now.I dont want another SE Android market tester.I want a winner and it is possible.3 things need to happen.Gingerbread,Multi-touch and a simpler overlay.I think do those 3 things and they in the race with a fighting chance.
