Nokia N8 gets lots of stick in early reviews, we wonder why

source: Nokia N8 gets lots of stick in early reviews, we wonder why - GSMArena.com news

The Nokia N8 started shipping this week and reviews of the Finnish company's latest flagship are spreading like wildfire. Checking out the first batch of those we noticed a certain trend, which we cannot quite explain. It seems that for some reason most of the reviewers don’t give the handset a fair chance and go a bit too far with their criticisms.
If you have been keeping track of our review comments section you would know that we are often accused of having an anti-Nokia bias. Well, we don't - we just try to give each phone an equal chance and then call it as we see it. And that is exactly what didn't happen in those early N8 reviews.
To illustrate our point, we'll give you a few examples. Gizmodo made a video, which is supposed to show the level of usability the Nokia N8 offers. Three users (one armed with an N8, one with the iPhone 4 and one with BlackBerry Bold) are asked to perform similar tasks to see which of the handsets lets them do it the fastest.

Now, the thing is the iPhone 4 and Bold users have obviously had their handsets for a while, but the guy with N8 is obviously not perfectly familiar with its interface just yet. There is some hesitation on his side here and there, which we feel affects the result unfairly. Not to mention the slower typing speed, which is at least as much down to the lack of practice as it is to keyboard imperfection.
Also for the second task (mapping directions) three completely different applications are ran on the devices, which doesn’t make up for a fair comparison. Let alone the "take a photo" challenge where the N8 takes north of nine seconds to start its camera. Well, having played with several N8 units already we never saw one that takes so much time to get in shooting mode.
Next up, it’s Engadget and their Nokia N8 vs iPhone 4 shootout, which also happens to have a rather major flaw that works against the N8. We are talking about the obvious camera shake in several of the Nokia N8 shots.

Camera shake is a natural part of photography but it depends on so many factors outside the handset that we don’t think it has a place in a shootout. The camera shake results in a huge resolution loss for the N8 and renders all conclusions based on those shots pointless.
Finally, we stumbled upon Eldar Murtazin's blog post, comparing the N8 to the Pixon12. the fact that the two cameras used different settings (the N8 always went for a higher ISO setting than the Pixon12) isn't taken into account when judgment is passed, which is not really fair.

We all know about the trouble that the Mobile Review guru has had with Nokia recently and we feel he is justified if he is pissed at them, but those things should be put aside when reviewing a handset. Of course, everyone is free to publish anything in their own blog but chances are we will be seeing more of the same tomorrow when the full review appears at Mobile-review.com.
We can go on but you should have gotten the idea by now. Just to be clear – we don’t have anything against any those sites. On the contrary, we feel like they are all pretty great and are daily reads for all of us here at GSMArena. It’s just that we feel they are not being perfectly fair on this particular occasion and the N8 is much too important to just let that slip.
Now, we are not trying to play devil’s advocates here and try to convince you that the N8 is perfect. It certainly isn’t without its flaws and those should be criticized. All we are saying is that the device should be given a fair chance and not be punished for the shortcomings of its predecessors or just because the reviewers aren’t having much love for Nokia as a brand.
Or are we the ones in the wrong? Feel free to share your opinion on the matter in the comments section below.

if budget is not a problem bro, layu ra kaayu ang x6 sa n8..

ang x6 mura rag 5800 with a 5mp cam and a capacitive touchscreen..

go for n8 bro, music playback time pa lang 50 hours! mas paspas sad siya compared sa x6.. processor wise n8 680mhz> x6 434mhz..

ug maka run ug mga bug-at nga 3d games ang n8 kay iyang GPU kay maoy usas pinakapaspas ron..

and x6 runs on the old Symbian.. while n8 is the first device to run on Symbian^3..

and dont forget the camera 12mp Xenon> 5mp LED

need i say more? lol

just my 2 cents bro..
