Here are some  sample videos from the Nokia N8 uploaded by silverato3428 – The first three supposedly in low light, and the fourth outdoors. Be sure to click the 720p HD version.

I’m curious to know how the N8 is able to resolve that text.  It seems a little too clear for fixed focus video and have something that close be in focus, whilst objects further away are still close.

Mummy -

Just seconds away from 1000heads/WOMWorld/Nokia HQ – outdoor.

• The colour looks great, the frame rate looks smooth.
• The N8 is also able to quickly adjust to different brightness levels.
• Panning looks rather smooth too. Normally, movement of the phone would cause a somewhat jelly like distortion.

Thanks to bharadwaj for the heads up!

Get yourself a decent pair of headphones to listen to the marvelous Nseries grade audio quality.

Awesome sound for your video since 2005 when all others were producing (and some still are) shitty, tinny audio.

I’m sure you have seen other videos about the Nokia N8′s multitasking but this one is recent (august 27 ). In this video the N8 multitask 15 applications.

Here’s a new sample video, thank you Keith for the tip.

I’m guessing these are video taken with the Nokia N8. TheSheridan01 on youtube and sheridan01 from flickr do look alike and appears to be the same person. It’s about cats too. So i’m pretty sure these are taken with the N8.

And here’s some new(taken on august 28)  full (4000×3000) 12mp photos samples from sheridan01 on flickr.

Fun tip:  I knew this tip a month ago and only now it crossed my mind that I could share it here. Some of you might know it, some might not

To play Snake(famous game that I used to play on Nokia cell phones) on youtube. Step1: find any video, Step 2: click on the video, doesn’t matter if it pauses it or play. Step 3: hold left arrow and a snake will appear. Rule of this game : eat as much dot as you can without eating yourself or hitting the edges

In all the Nokia N8 demoes we’ve seen thus far, Ovi Maps has only been shown to zoom with the zoom bar. Multitouch is available on the N8 but it was not yet working for Ovi Maps (though it was mentioned to be coming soon)

In this 25 minute video (Skip to 24:05) you’ll see firstly, a very, very smooth panning of the maps and more importantly, super smooth pinch and zooming of the maps. There are no reloading of the maps/obvious rescaling – just quick pinch and you’re zoomed in.

With rumors circling the internet that the final, release version of the N8 firmware is scheduled to be finished by next week (crosses fingers) The latest video that I found on the site, http://tv.mediaprovider.se should hopefully give a pretty clear insight into the sort of performance and applications (read: games) we can expect to see when the N8 is FINALLY released. From the little available here, there should be few doubts in anyone’s mind as to whether this device will be sluggish, unperforming and underwhelming at release.

Give it a look and tell me what you think!

Youtube link to the 1st video! Thanks NeNoRmAl!

Update: Another video was taken on the 25th of August, just 2 days ago. The video demonstrates a few of the normal features available with the OS.

Give it a look.

After the Nokia N8 event, some new commercials appeared on the internet. They were in different websites. So I uploaded all of them to youtube. There you go. Enjoy!

There are two other videos, one here and second there. They are not in English. But if you understand their language or just wanna see the N8 then go ahead and watch.

For those of you who are a fan of Tron Legacy, I got good news. Apparently Nokia have new trailer of Tron Legacy exclusively for the Nokia N8. Here’s a glimpse of it.

Here’s 4 videos about a Nokia event promoting the Nokia N8. Of course all these videos are recorded with the Nokia N8. Enjoy!

There’s also a hands-on by Endgadget Chinese. The only thing new in this hands on is the demo video and thats about it. If you wanna check out pictures of this event click here.

I came across this interesting video of the Symbian 3 interface being shown off. I have noticed something in all those UI overview video also, the little nugget is that if you tap any button on the interface too quick it doesn’t register, now you might call that a bug or something but my iPod touch does the same thing Apple actually made it a feature when the original iPhone launched so there you go, that particular feature or bug whatever you call it happens in this video a lot.

Web TV gets shown off as well which is neat as we haven’t seen that much off it although it does get s system error but we are told its a pre production error and there some bugs in the software apart from that its the same usual, although worth checking out though.

BTW I had a quick chat with the guys at Rovio Mobile on twitter the guys of the brilliant game “Angry Birds” and I asked them when Angry birds is coming for devices other than N900′s and they replied saying once Symbian 3 devices are like the N8 and other then it will be released all good then

Here’s another look at the latest build of MeeGo handset UX on the Nokia N900. [click for previous vid]

Scrolling looks buttery smooth (and fast, no more endless flicking) in some places though choppy in others.

At 07:39 you’ll see “speech bubble” what looks to be a threaded messaging of sort, and at

10:40 you’ll see the dynamic multitasking. First linear scrolling of live windows like Symbian^3 but with pinch and zoom becomes grid like, ala N900 and Maemo. But since N900 doesn’t have multitouch you’ll only see the linear mode.

Note: Nokia’s UI will be a little different from the stock MeeGo. Eldar has mentioned it looks better.

And also, if anyone is able to confirm: Nokia’s first ‘MeeGo Phone’ might actually be on Harmattan (rebrand of Maemo 6?) rather than MeeGo 1.0? or is N9 already MeeGo 1.0?

Angry Birds without doubt is one of the best mobile games out now. So when one of our lovely readers offered to film himself playing Angry Birds on the N8 and asked us to post it I though HELL YEAH !!! So here it is (took me ages to upload I was determined though )

Thanks to alex68 for the effort !!!

Meego has been an interesting new OS so far already being written off by the usual suspects mainly because Nokia are the main customers so to say, but people forget that there are a lot of partners that comitted themselves to use Meego such as the Automotive powerhouses from Germany such as Mercedes Benz, BMW, Porsche and Audi so for people making fun of Meego it isn’t only for Nokia but also for other tech companies out there. And remember Windows as it is doesn’t work on a tablet with HP buying Palm for Web OS if they see some good efforts from Nokia and others they might jump the ship

thanks to Jim for the heads up
