I used the i8910 before upgrading and i did consider the n8 but a few things put me off. It is slower than the i8910. The screen is smaller. It has no stereo speakers. Sound quality on the n8 is below average. So it was a big fat no for.me.
Wall-mounted 50 inch full HD flat screen and an i8910 mounted above it for really amazingly realistic experience! I bet your neighbors keep complaining to you about keeping the volume down while watching movies!

With HDMI cable that's possible with N8.

My N8-00 is on the way... i will do a shoot out myself once i got my hands on the N8-00.
I wonder what to do with my Satio once that happens.. it is a useless phone thanks to the poorly supported and optimised software, the thing now barely last 30 hours standby with two calls max and no net usage, a spare battery is a must.
Although I rejected Sony's SE phones drove a couple of friends away from buying the X10 range, i went with their NEX camera. The CMOS on NEX was amazing at low light, therefore i expect their nex gen 12 to 16 mpx camera CMOS to be very good. I read a while ago bloody apple pick them to mass produce the CMOS for iphone 5....
one thing i would like to make clear was, N8 is a series of phones, not just One model of phone, bloody nokia confuses everybody with the new naming system. Therefore when i first launch my now closed threat, it was N8-00, expect N8-01 coming late next year with 14 mega pixel camera...

Yes, thats a very good point ! ive already tried mine using the N8's own 720p videos !
My replacement arrived yesterday, well i actually had to go down to the UPS depot and pick it up myself since the delivery driver didnt hang around for my girlfriend to answer the door.
Initial thoughts: im sure its more updated then my previous N8, there appears to be more options available in the menus which were absent in my first N8, yet there has been no software updates AFAIK... ? ?

^^^ Just a bit sad about people falling for the makers' tricks fooling people into thinking that stereo speakers a couple of inches apart would make any difference from a single speaker. I had an E90 which also has stereo speakers and the only way to enjoy stereo sound is to keep the phone VERY close to your face.

got the N8-00, Satio retired
first hand report, Battery is just about 6 hour better than Satio, which means, it can last one day but can't survive the 2nd day... right... Not happy there...
Software support is miles better than Satio...first party improves promised coming would only make the phone better...
Third party apps still lacking... ie MSN facebook,
camera performance, about the same, but flash on N8 seem weaker.

Nokia Social is a Facebook app built into the phone.
Theres also various IM apps which can make use of MSN on Ovi store.

Here´s a quick comparison between Satio and the N8. These are my own shots.
These are harsh conditions for any camera. Bright scenarios are always difficulto to depict accordingly. We cannot compare them perfectly, as the heve different SS and slightly different ISO (80 vs 105). Anyway, I guess this is a merit of the metering system to set the SS to the more appropriate value, and the N8 seems to fare better here.
Satio´s shot has clearly an increased level of artificial sharpness, whereas the N8´s shot has a more mature approach. Another guess of mine is that the N8 advantage in Dynamic Range is mainly due to its Neutral Density Filter, and not to the sensor itself. My main gripe against the N8 is its minimum ISO value @ 100. What I like about the Pixon12, for instance, is the option to select ISO-50 (which also appears with the C901 - another great shooter).
One important thing to know, though, is that the Satio also suffers from corner softness...

You don't want to admit that stereo speakers on a mobile phone is just a PR gimmick.

No ! they are not a gimmick ! recently after my first N8 had been returned while i waited for my replacement to come i went back to my N95 8gb, which has great stereo speakers. The sound quality of ringtones, videos or playing music or the radio on loadspeaker is so much better than my Satio or N8.
Its not a gimmick, just not necessary, or so think the mobile manufacturers. For me, i think in 2010 stereo speakers on a phone should be a necessity, but i appear to be one of few who think so.

The phone with the best sound quality from its built-in speakers I've used until now is the E90. Amazingly good sound. And although it does have stereo speakers I don't attribute the sound quality to the dual speakers giving stereo sound but simply the fact that two speakers move more air than a single speaker.
So there may be truth in stereo speakers sounding better but you sure don't experience stereo sound unless you're very close to the speakers so that each ear receives sound separately from each speaker. Like with the E90; I had to hold it against my face to hear real stereo.
@jj03, your head is so small that you can hear the two small speakers on your phone separately? You're carrying your phone around on your shoulder like an old ghetto blaster?
