04 February, 2011
Nokia has just released the first Symbian^3 update for N8, C6-01 and C7. The new 1.1 version brings tweaks over the messaging department plus office editing for the N8, but no new features or overall ...

The day i bought my N8 i was given the one with the purple tint, watching videos were so frustrating but i simply went right back to the purchase point that same day and had it changed, and so it was. i think its an error from the manufacturers end (an error from SAMSUNG who manufactures amoled screens)

        It is obvious that Nokia is using 2 different screens for the N8 and C7. The cheaper one has the purple tint and the good one has no issues. Funny thing, they charge the same price for both.

          Nokia is incredible, i can use my last penny to purchase a nkia phone, but even if i have all the money in the world i can't purchase an android phone again, NEVER!!! it's crap and terrible, even if its given as a gift to me, i wont use or give it to a friend i really like because wont want him/her to go thru the disaster i faced using one. i would simply destroy it.....

            The updates are decent,. by why have they not addressed the browser issue??.. i have been using N8 for a month now and its been great for most part. the browser and the text input part are 2 nightmares thou!.. i have an ipod touch since 2007 and its usability is much better even now as compared to N8!!.. i previously owned N82 which was another great camera phone, but for a non-touch screen it UI is good.
            Most of us would really be happy if the 2 main issues are addressed first.. probably hardly any complaints at all then. Opera browser is a great substitute, but the lack of pinch zooming significantly lowers user experience, thou it is FAR FAR better than the stock browser whose shortcomings have been touched upon in the review.

Did you hear that Microsoft and Nokia are to get together for configuring a better Microsoft Office for Nokia using Qt?? That is going to be awesome!!! They also plan to provide added services to Nokia like Microsoft Messenger and a better Mail for exchange client on Symbian phones because it is a mature OS. So the hype of a Microsoft merger was just hogwash and this was what was actually being planned with Microsoft all along!!

              I cant wait for that N9. Hope Nokia hits those Nokia haters hard once and for all:)

              The way things are shaping up at Nokia is such that they are preparing for a major assualt and pundits are worried because they cant predict what they are up to!!! Aaah, the element of surprise...I love it!! Best way to take your enemies down is by infiltration from the inside!!! US, here we come...LOL

                It would be advisable a real test before writing an article.

                Quickoffice updated to 6.4.166, editing functions now enabled on the N8 (i.e. don't have to pay to upgrade), improved zooming functions
                Adobe Reader updated to 2.5.653
                Big update to Nokia Email; performance improved; 'unread emails' flag added to homescreen widget; meeting requests can be accepted directly from email invitations; maps integration, which means people can view the meeting location on the map when the address is mentioned in the location field in the invite
                General performance improvements

                Previous performance updates are rolled in and, in the full (Ovi Suite-installed, >100MB) image, there's the facility to provide a better working starting point than hard resetting a PR 1.0 device

They will be addressing that and hopefully soon. According to a video I've seen, i think there would be a new store coming out soon or the current one modified somewhat to accomodate the meego apps.
