I'm agreement with what seems to be the majority here: Guy on the N8 really wasn't familiar with the phone yet. Why else would you stare at the screen for a few seconds not pressing the icon you need, while everyone else has already jumped ahead?
I decided to follow along on my lowly E71, with a puny 340mhz processor, and several years outdated s60. I can get navigation directions faster than everyone there (searching for a location roughly half way across the city, getting driving directions). I can also send an e-mail as fast as the guy on the blackberry (typed out one of my other e-mail addresses, subject "oh hello there", message body said "hello"). And I can snap a picture faster than everyone there (using a similarly backlit plant in my room). How is that possible?! What does this prove?!
I'm really familiar with my phone. So is the girl on the iPhone, and the guy on the Blackberry. The guy on the N8 isn't.
However, I can find one legitimate criticism against the N8, that has been mentioned elsewhere on the internet: The portrait keyboard isn't qwerty, which is why the guy on the N8 had to rotate it to type. If no one else does that, it will obviously slow him down substantially. How much that matters depends on the individual user. I flat out can NOT type on a portrait qwerty touch screen, be it on any iPhone, or any Android phone. I hit 5 virtual keys at once, and it's useless. I always rotate to the landscape keyboard. So, on any touchscreen phone, N8 included, I don't need a portrait qwerty keyboard. However, clearly the girl on the iPhone can type on her phone's portrait qwerty keyboard. Why she only used one finger though, I don't know. She could have kept up better with the guy on the blackberry had she gone two fingered

... as Monty Python also once said: "The people love a good stoning", and as soon as any winner is announced we usually start gathering up stones for the winners hoped for demise.
