I own and use both the N900 and N8 daily and I wouldn't call the N8 a downgrade. A side step, maybe. Admit it, you just have nothing but hate for it (and Symbian) that you refuse to see some of its benefits even if it hit you in the face and still **** all over its parade. But hey, you have your opinion and so do I and so does the poster you were replying to.
