The packaging of the N8 is small and handy, as well as the device itself. The content is just as varied as the opportunities that are a revealed with the N8. HDMI adapters transform the N8 for multimedia specialists, because you can sometimes play Angry Birds on the flat screen TV. Using the USB Adapter USB sticks, hard drives, mouse and keyboard can be connected to the unit and operated. The memory of 16 GB can be expanded with a 32 GB micro SD card. The design is managed and implemented consistently, the workmanship is very good. So what you want more?

Basically, you could be very happy with the device. It can be anything you want. Photos and videos snap and edit, view Office documents, edit, convert and send. Link Exchange and Google Calendar, synchronize contacts properly. You can connect the device to any handsfree in the car, using the device in car fashion excellent, to be navigated for free. More can almost no other device on the market.
Who is looking for a compact all-rounder will be well served here.

The N8 runs Symbian - first with Anna, now with Belle. Not much has changed and some problems still exist. Regular crashes, sometimes every week, sometimes every month are simply part. This makes the device certainly sympathetic, somehow human - but not up to date. Symbian is an all-rounder and fits perfectly with the N8 but it requires the operating system and the device too much from. Delays and Bedenkpausen are not useful in everyday life. Plugging a USB flash drive is convenient for copying data, however, the unit is running so slow. Also scrolling hooked by the app Social Network "or the browser. Scroll bars are for. T. so small that you frequently besides typing and instead of scrolling down, caught the picture, which then opens up after some loading time. It could be described as not mature, but I refer to it as a last attempt of Nokia to make the N8 against Android & Co. rearing do not succeed -. the device is overloaded.

The battery is exhausted after a day when Google Latitude is running, e-mails are retrieved automatically, sent about 10 text messages and a half hour on the phone. Since the power saving mode does not help, the supports UMTS and EDGE on the e-polling frequency limits. Then the device is in fact super slow.

In store you will find enough apps for every situation. Whoever finds social networking is important is a little disappointed: only be integrated Facebook and Twitter. Linkedin there not only as a standalone app, Xing and Google+.

However, the synchronization with Outlook runs perfectly. The Google Calendar is invariably integrated and transferring data to and from the device without additional software possible. The navigation is very good, but routes with intermediate targets, are no longer possible.

One sees the N8 is a device with many errors and even more good qualities. But I would not switch back to the iPhone and the N8 not buy. It is robust and sufficient for my purposes. However disturbs the lack of integration of certain social networks and the slowness of the browser.
