What a Glorious
Day! I finally rid myself of the superficially ugly Nokia N8. I never thought I
could sell this but I did. Though it maybe great that I sold it, there are
things to dislike about the move. Prominent ones are:
·
I Never Got a chance to finish the
Symbian Experience Week.
·
I planned to do a crazy review about it
on the last day, sadly this would be impossible.
·
I sold it at a super bargain(Bought
for P3800 Sold for P3000).
·
In the two short days I was with the
phone, I grew to be attached to it.
Unlike the scammer who sold me the
phone, I was completely honest with the buyer, I even confirmed him if he was
really going to buy and if he has seen the pictures. Luckily, he said yes! He bidded
for 2500 but I said no thanks he asked for 2700 but I said 3k was my last
price. So we had a deal. Mabait si Kuya understanding siya, and I was as honest as can be as possible to avoid problems. Ayokong manloko, kahit naloko ako. I won't risk my honor for a measly P800. I gave him complete honesty with the unit. Madali mabawi ang pera, ang dignidad hindi. (AKALAIN MONG INSTILL NA SA DUGO KO THOMASIAN VALUES) :)))))
Luckily for me, this was a day when
the class was so boring I had a chance to fiddle with the device’s Settings,
Browsing, Gaming and Camera. I think these are few of the major points that
needed attention and by completeing the aforementioned points, I can say the
Symbian Experience reached 80%. So without further ado, here comes the Final
Day of the Symbian Experience! Enjoy Guys!

| Can You See the Earth Bulge? LOL |
For a group of
undergrads in their early twenties, vanity shots never go out of style. Having my
Nokia N8 proves it. As our Review Class ended, I whipped out my Nokia N8 and
took snapshots from PERC to Chicboy near Padre Noval. I had a funny shot which
showed the Earth Bulge(Tummy) of my friend (Lavyu Charles HAHAHA). The Nokia N8’s
amazing camera was able to zoom on it and gave us a laugh or two. The shots
went on before, while and after eating. Nokia N8’s camera is still,
undoubtedly, one of the best today.

The Experience
Yesterday(June 25),
I installed Games on my Nokia N8, they were Plants vs Zombies, Temple Run 2,
NOVA 3, Iron Man 3, Bejeweled, Metal Slug, Hero of Sparta and The Dark Knight
Rises. All of them maybe laggy but its amazing how Nokia N8 still gets support
from Developers.
Sure Temple Run 2 was a cheap and annoying Rip-off
(Chinese/Japanese shit), but the others were gold. Hero of Sparta is a good
looking Action Adventure Game with great controls and Plants VS Zombies was
just amazing! NOVA 3 and Batman maybe platformers but it was entertaining
enough to kill some minutes on the road. Heck, Iron Man 3 was better on Symbian
than it is on Android! NO KIDDING! For a gaming device, I have overly
underestimated the Nokia N8 and was actually filled with nostalgic fun and
excitement! Want to get games? Head on to Nokia N8 Fanclub now!
Aside from gaming, I briefly used the
phone to browse the Net, it was as expected, slow and laggy, but it was able to
play Be Careful With My Heart on YouTube! It’s still bearable to some but,
honestly, not for me.
The settings also give you a nostalgic feel as it very
much looks like a beefed and touchscreenitized Symbian S60v3 Settings.
As mentioned earlier, the Camera is
just amazing, here are some of my Lime Green Nokia N8 final shots. Enjoy!
CONCLUSION
Nokia
N8 is a three year old phone, and by today’s standards it looks small and fat
with resolution way behind. I don’t know why but as bad as it may seem by today’s
standards, it still looks like an exquisite and elegant phone, its amazing on
how three years did little to demolish the feel of holding a God Phone three
years ago. Try holding a Samsung Galaxy S2 now and you will feel more outdated
than holding a Nokia N8.
Reminiscing
aside, and putting it into everyday use, N8 may not give you the same
flexibility and apps Android can give but it has enough to get you through a
day with style. For simplistic people, this can be a good choice for you. Nokia
N8 has stood against the test of time and will provide you with the ones which
are truly important! Here’s a run-down of Nokia N8’s performance based on my
Three Day Experience.
·
Audio Quality – Definitely better than all of the
rebranded phones I have tried, Stereo Widening and Loudness is a great touch
·
Video Playback – Not able to play mkv files and shows
problems on bigger files.
·
Browsing- Tolerable, but shows weakness and
lags
·
Response- Nokia has to show its age somehow,
this is where it is prominent. Very laggy
·
Gaming – Not Android or iOS many but there
are lots of Gem left on its tank
·
Camera – Simply one of the best today. See
the pics to appreciate
I commend Nokia for
making such a wonderful phone! In conclusion, I dub thee a Norman’s Randoms/
PowerBondSeven Golden Thumbs Up of Approval!
