I have the N900 and that's something I regret. Definitely N8 anytime!
N900 hardware specs are very good. Shame about the not-so-good software. Maemo will only receive bug fixes but no more new features. Maybe if they get a stable Android port running with all functions working then maybe I'd start using my N900 again.

If your a programmer in Linux then the N900 is the phone for you but if not then N8 for sure because of a good ovi app support hdmi, HD recording, xenon flash need I go on

Silly question N8 all the way. The N900 is just one of them devices that's just out there on it's own & not many people have been interested.

go for the n8. the n900 still barely has any apps on it.
being perpetually broke aint half bad...you just constantly try to look at the brighter side of life to alleviate the situation. |

Few apps? Yea but very useful apps. Like shortcuts to adjust brightness, have screen on, toggle bluetooth, quick post to facebook right on the status bar, wifi analizer, skype chat and call, facebook chat, msn chat, and other accounts ALL built into the device. A much much better homescreen. Large or small widgets can be place ANYWHERE on the screen, unlike the N8 everything goes fixed on the screen and all are the same size.
The N8 is only good for the camera and video capabilities, thats it. The N900 is good for everything else.
I owned the n900 for almost a year, then got the N8 (which I returned) and few weeks ago I got my Galaxy S. |

Yes, you're right, it's resistive, but the best resistive screen I've ever seen, very responsive.

Oh ok,cannot imagine though ever going back to a resistive. I have an N8 & would advise getting one it's a fantastic device despite what some people say & think

Yea, true. The resistive screen cant be compared with a capacitive one. Well at the end I'd also recommend trying out the N8 BUT make sure you have a good return policy. I hear some guys from India that there is not a way to return their N8 that came with problems. The N8 is a great device but as long as it works. There is a big problem going around the globe about N8 shutting down and no powering on at all. Happened to me also. |

No issues with mine shutting down its been reliable. Remember its not just Nokia that has rebooting and phone issues when new on the market. I have had these issues with many other phones too

yea it is normal when reboots! But then what is when it shuts down and doesn't turn on. You cant even remove the battery. My point is if you make a cellphone that has a sealed battery then its gotta be problem-free. |

All they say is hold down power key for eight seconds. Not happened to mine at all. Some people just get unlucky with a dud and for a change its not me
