    • But according to Eldar Murtazin from Mobile-Review , who got hands on N8 reviewed that N8 is just another disappointment for Nokia fans. The main drawback of N8 is it’s OS, it seems Symbian^3 OS is still unpolished and it doesn’t has any special features compared to other existing Smartphone OS’s.
