Nokia N8 Pre-Ordre starts today USA

Why? Because AT&T likes to nickle and dime people to death and not invest money back in their network.


I use WiFi when available but I tether and stream a lot when it's not available.


I'm purposely not going to renew my contract with them ever again. If they ever cap me @ 2GB, and it can't be rolled back then I want the option to cancel if needed...
 
If AT&T were to pick up the N8 then all the S60 talks/discussion will probably shift from the N8 to the e7 around here.


I understand why Nokia would want AT&T for the US market, but that device is going to be crippled.


Kinda funny how Nokia said that they didn't want Android because the number #1 smartphone company shouldn't have to follow the rules/guidlines of somebody else, so how is this really different with AT&T? Sure one could argue that Android is more controlling because of the OS over carrier, but AT&T isn't going to just hand you the keys to the kingdom without agreeing to the house rules first...


(I'm obviously not counting previous devices like e71x/Surge because they weren't Nokia's Flagship Phones)
 
Oof. For that price, you may as well break your existing cell phone contract and get a Droid X or Evo or Epic 4G, and it may even be cheaper.

Way to kill your product with pricing. I'd be willing to pay, maybe $300, unlocked.
 
Well $550 wasnt' expected. I was hoping for around $450. But those of you stating this should be around 3-350 have got to be joking. Sure it might not be what you want but give some credit where credit is due. Hell a regular lg dumbphone can run you $400 non contract price.
 
I didn't call anyone fanboy & don"t let my avatar fool you. I am using a x10a now in addition to ip4. My response was simply an answer to a question that there is no other phone plays 720p. Don't let this thread run into another iphone thread :eek:
 
If I have to pay more than 15 dollars a month I will move on to another carrier. My 3G coverage goes out for hours at random times during every day and my calls are consistently dropped. Like someone else said AT&T already nickels and dimes people like crazy for their inferior service. That's why I buy unlocked cell phones anyway to save a few bucks on my monthly bill. When the N8 finally ships I will probably start using more bandwidth because of the 12mp camera pictures being sent ect...
 
Let's play with currencies:

Nokia USA N8 price S 549 -> ? 426.15

Nokia Finland N8 price ? 499 -> S 643.03

And for those who want to buy the N8 at S 300 or somethin...

s 300 -> ? 232.82

with that price tag you can buy the Nokia 6700 classic or the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic from the Nokia Finland store, so uumm...

Not gonna happen ever :lolup:
 
Unfortunately it's not going to do me any good. I've got the Telus Version of the Milestone.


Telus users might not see 2.2 until 2011, or even possibly not at all.


This is where Motorola is "Officially" at with all Android phones.

For me it's not that huge of a deal as for other people. This is my backup phone (night & weekends) for now.


It's a fun phone to use, but it can't handle my daily work needs like the e72 currently does...
 
I don't think it's likely to happen anyway. Nokia, AT&T and Verizon have had frosty relations for some time, despite the E71x. They have a current business relationship with T-Mobile USA, so if anything it'll pop-up there.

All you need to know about Nokia and AT&T is that they chose to carry a Sony Ericsson S60v5 phone, the Vivaz over, say, an X6 or E72. An AT&T N8 probably won't happen.

Besides, even though I'm a subscriber, AT&T simply sucks. I'm there because I'm a carry over from an older contract; there's no reason to be on Big Blue aside from that or if you want an iPhone.
 
LMAO. What a damn joke. My N97 Mini had pretty average RF performance at best. I'm sick and tired of the Nokia fanboys pretending you can't make calls with any phone but a garbage, outdated Nokia. What a joke.
 
We will see Nokia phones on AT&T. AT&T is part of Symbian Foundation. Nokia should wait for S^4 to push Symbian in to USA. MeeGo is more likely to be used by AT&T.
 
Outdated Nokia increased market share from 40% to 42% in Q2. Don`t blame Nokia for At&t coverage issues. And Symbian OS is more functional than any other OS on the market, outdated UI is the problem.
 
Alas, much in vain. The N86 picture quality seems to be quite lacking, for good reason (4.6mm focal length, vs. 5.4mm on the N97/N85, 5.6mm on the N95, and 5.91mm on the Sony Ericsson C905a and Satio).

In turn, this translates to a smaller sensor area capturing light/reflection from a given object a given distance away from the camera. The sensor may still be as large as these other cameras (1/2.5" in the case of all of the above), but thus captures light from a much wider angle. In other words: the wide angle of the N86 is to compensate for lacking focal length without completely destroying image quality in the name of increasing the megapixel count.

As for the other 12MP phones, the Satio and the Pixon12, their sensor sizes simply cannot support such a large pixel count. Each pixel is simply too small to capture useful information, and the they are simply bound to produce 12 million pixels of random noise.

Even with the best optics seen in a mobile phone (good lens, about 5.9mm focal length, 1/1.8" sensor), the "sweet spot" as far as megapixel count would not be higher than about 3 million. Beyond this, image quality degrades due to lacking dynamic range (S/N ratio), lacking color depth, susceptibility to blooming when capturing against a bright background, etc.
 
I use close to 200mb a day from tethering because my work internet is slow and they block everything...love my X6 tethering ...just one click with Ovi

Probably won't see the N8 on Amazon or Newegg till mid October
