Now, you mentioned that your main concern is to be able to play .mkv files, use FB, and have a large internal memory.
The default web browser of the N8 is crappy, but you can use Opera for an alternative. The Symbian Anna update is coming soon for a better web browser, better performance, and many more. Internal memory is big at 16GB. The 680 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 256 MB RAM of the N8 is quite weak, but since it uses Symbian which is the most resource effective phone OS, it does better than the numbers will tell. I sometimes get "not enough memory" when using lots of apps at the same time, but it will not appear on everyday usage. Android features better usability than the Symbian^3, and it is definitely better. I chose to get an N8 for it's camera, not for it's apps. The N8 also has a video playback issue (which will most likely be solved via Symbian Anna update) which makes sit unable to play subtitles. That is a letdown, and you won't be able to watch videos with foreign languages with subtitles on it. The Galaxy S' screen is much better from video watching, and it's Super AMOLED screen is very good to watch on. It's screen is larger than the N8's. The N8 only has AMOLED by the way. Some N8's have defective screens which makes them render wrong colors, giving off purplish, brownish, and reddish tint when watching movies, and in some parts of the interface.
Summarizing all that, just get the Samsung Galaxy S. Really. It is better suited for your use.

Which phone company is better Motorola or Nokia?
Q. I'm trying to make a decision between Nokia E73 and Motorola xt720 please help!!!!!!!
A. It is not really about the company but about the product they sell.
I would rather have the E73 than the MILESTONE XT720. It runs on Symbian which almost everybody says it sucks but they are only right on touchscreen Symbians. Non touch Symbians are excellent phones. The MILESTONE XT720 is really better on features, but it runs on the outdated Android 2.1 Eclair. Most Androids today run on 2.2 Froyo, and the newest phones are in 2.3 Gingerbread. Motorola has not promised any Froyo or Gingerbread update for the MILESTONE XT720 which lowers the features and improvements you can use on it.
The Xenon flash of the XT720 is weak, and 720p recording is choppy. I would not recommend it as a cameraphone either.
The E73 is just the T-Mobile versio of the E72 which is a very good phone. Battery life is superb, and messaging is a breeze.
