The fact that it's Nokia's best touch screen phone is what makes me reluctant to believe they are on the verge of winning anything when it comes to smart phones. From http://events.nokia.com/NokiaN8/ http://events.nokia.com/NokiaN8/: Take amazing photos and videos, connect to your favourite social networks and be entertained with the latest Web TV programs and Ovi Store apps. They market this as a phone with a good camera (HD video recording) and integrated with social networks. Yet, the only way to send an image or a video is "via messaging" or "via Bluetooth". "Messaging" in this case, is MMS. Googling for a way to get the HD videos off the phone some other way than mounting it over USB, I find PixelPipe: http://pixelpipe.com/ http://pixelpipe.com/ The only thing that's outstanding with PixelPipe is that it's UI is even worse than the one on Nokia N8. If I want to connect my new N8 with my Facebook profile, I have to register for the Ovi Store first. This is a process which takes me through three dialogs: I have to enter my e-mail address, my phone number, pick a username and a password, and enter a CAPTCHA. Below the CAPTCHA is a text input field. When I click the input field, the text input widget and the keyboard appears, covering the CAPTCHA I'm supposed to read. This is one of a long list of similar experiences from using the phone for one hour. Nobody used this phone before it went to market.
