n900 is classes as an internet tablet. screen is 840x480
n8 is classes as a smartphone screen is 640x360

seeing how n900 has 32gb, built in FM transmitter,IR etc this is why

n8 is only 16gb and new symbian plus camera. it doesnt have keyboard either

also n8 has roughly same processing power.

my dad just got n8 hes still figuring it out but symbian isnt the best and maemo is a winner though it needs tweaks.

over here still at carephone warehouse n900 phone contract is still £5 more tha n8 QQ
