Hardware wise, the N8 is incredible with the camera and the xenon flash. Also the Maemo OS is amazing too but I'm not too familiar with it and I'm not smarty guy like you guys are making apps and stuff so idk. The only thing that turns me off about the N8 is that it's Symbian^3 which I am not too fond off. So what do you guys think? I don't know too much about the N8 either but I've had the N900 for about 4 months and had the N97 for 2 months before.
