I'd avoid like the plague if that is the only video around, but can't all be like that. Surely? Nokia has to have learned something from the N900 debacle, even if it is on another OS, they can't be that stupid? But as I am never touching Nokia again I am bias, once bitten twice shy and all that.

Symbian seems seriously out of it's depth in that phone, which sums up Nokia's logic of shipping so much stuff but not letting the OS support it and rushing what OS there is to cope with the massive HW supplied. (N900 face camera being an example)

I am looking at the HTC desire Z, it is the HTC Desire with a slide out keyboard and a few extras. Apart from TV out (Which I see no real use in ever, never mind HDMI out.) It lacks on board memory of the N900 (it is so much faster however), but 9 months on I am yet to have a word processor for Maemo, so I haven't missed what I actually got the N900 to do which was some document editing. So going back to a supported and proven phone I think is the key.

You should take a look if you want something that works with a track record outside Nokia.

Good luck if you do go with the N8, me thinks you might need it.
