^oh icicic, so everything that originally comes with the phone will still be there, but there will be some added things specified for canadians
thats more like a bonus right? so that would make it more convenient then to buy it elsewhere, that is IF your with rogers

and even more, rogers will be selling it cheaper then ANY aftermarket phone company in BC?
don't get me wrong tho, i certainly hope that they sell it that cheap, but a side of me is saying that its too good to be true | you can get the phone from the shops i've linked earlier in the thread for far less than what Nokia wants... and Amazon will start lowering their price etc
and if you were in the UK you could get the phone from Tesco for even less! (300) etc etc
its just like how The Sony Store charges MSRP for their tvs while stores like Futureshop Bestbuy ask for less

typing with the N8 right now. Neat device. However as most has said on hofo the stock web browser is bad. Opera mini is perfect as Opera Link also sync with Opera on my desktop Posted via RS Mobile | |

here's a new video of the firmware testing for the n8
they cut out the delay when swiping the homescreen and they added portrait qwerty (although the one shown is a scandinavian keyboard so there are extra keys making it cramped) the last video i uploaded was on youtube and nokia had it removed this ones on vimeo
also its still a prototype firmware so any performance issues should be dismissed | |

supposedly with Symbian you can just run Nokias firmware and it will remove any branding or locking
i read that off of Mynokiablog.com from one of the admins

GSMArenas Screen Shootout  http://www.gsmarena.com/display_shootout-review-541.php 
go to the link for the in depth reporting
N8 is good all around, wish they gave it the Clear Black Display though but i guess they couldnt get the screen out in time for its release

received my phone from rogers a couple days ago, its still wrapped, got midterms today and tomorrow, plus im waiting for my case and screen protector from e-bay before i open it
i'll do a review and compare it's OS and features to the iphone 4, samsung i900 omnia(windows mobile), and my friends galaxy s and possibly my other friends bb torch (just comparing OS's)
i'll also take my own picture review between the nokia n8, canon xsi, and a panasonic 12mp point and shoot

i ordered mine too (couldnt wait for a blue one) from the UK
Besides you can already buy different Coloured Housings on ebay (just not the blue or orange ones yet)
anyhow GSMArena is doing a 720p video test with a bunch of phones including the N8
The test isn't so great some of the phones seem a bit blurry maybe smeared from greasy fingers or something
Anyhow here it is on their youtube page http://www.youtube.com/user/gsmarena07
N8 seems to stand out overall with PQ and AQ (half way through the video they switch it to Low Light)

When I first bought the K850i, I thought the camera was awesome in daylight. Now with the N8, I can shoot in both daylight and low lighting. I haven't fully tested video recording and playing it on the TV, but I'm sure the tests out there on the net are tweaked in a way to provide the best video recording possible.

i think most of the tests we've seen (at least early on) state the settings are just set to Auto

There a known bug when connecting to wifi, the connection will go on and off, on and off, and the phone will freeze. I have yet to replicate that being on 3G.
