I just used an N8.
My pocket review: absolutely not ready for prime-time - number pad shrank and grew a couple of pixels every time I touched it during a call, with associated delay for the redraw.
The hardware seemed ok (although I'm no fan of their design language now, and yet their first WinPhones will have the same?), the display crisp and the telephone functionality was entirely fine.
But the clunky software, as well as the user interface just reeked of something rushed out by amateurs in the mid 1990s. Competitive? Nope.
As a current Android user, I await with interest what WinPhone can offer. Nokia's homebrew? Not so much.
- kb101 15y agoYour opinion matches the consensus when the N8 came out loaded with Symbian ^3 (generally deemed to have been rushed out the door); but I am curious if you had the opportunity to see which version of Symbian was running on the phone you tested. Were there three homescreens by any chance?
- com 15y agoI'll check tomorrow; I simply used it as a telephone and was forced to interact with UI features to do so: first impressions are sometimes quite important, and it really did the opposite of wowing me.
