        Nokia abandoned symbian,
        goole search why N8 failed.
        Nokia has drop sales on their phones.

        why?

        bc ANDROID is better!
        end of the story

The sizes are similar too, no big difference. Well, N8 has better camera, more support and more memory, but C7 has removable battery and LED flash which can be used as torch. N8 has Xenon flash which is better for night photography... So you just have to decide which is more important to you. Both are good quality phones made to last.

Pictures,birthdays, notes. And if you have two numbers for one contact then you will be getting two cotacts with almost the same name on your SIM, each containing one of your numbers. So i highly recomand not to backup on a sim. Now, if you really are restrained using the suite to backup and dont need messages and notes or calendar. You can use your mem card. You can also use it to copy the rest of the files you need. To backup your contacts just enter the contacts section select them all then hit options. There should be an option like:copy to. In Belle it is called: copy contact card. But as far as i remember in anna is named diferently. Anyways. Hit to copy to other mem. Will popup the mass mem. And mem. Card. Be shore you select the mem.card. The next pupup just hit yes and continiue. Remove mem card before factory reset. Othewise you will loose everything.

                      i bought N8 and was dissapointed, it freezes, it lags sometym 8 takes a minute to open a folder, bad dark screen it says 220 ppi but looks like 120 ppi, screen has unbalanced tint color most of all camera is crap 12 mp looks like 5 mp.

                      it cant even match the speed of my galaxy y.

What happen is that Nokia has failed to give Symbian with power supports throughout Symbian's life(CPU, GPU, RAM, and battery). These things are crystal clear.

                        Please take a close look at how big is the CPU, GPU, RAM, and battery that Nokia gave to L920, 925, 928, and 1020. Android even takes much crazier power requirements.

                        Conclussion: Symbian is the best.

Just see that the PIN request is off. You can do a backup any way you want, transfer your music to the PC or to a memory card, or via USB on-the-go to a memory stick, who cares! :-) If you do it via Nokia Suite you simply go back to the backup function and click "restore" and find your backup - well, you know where it is now. :-) I have photos with some of my contacts as well as birthdays and other stuff, all of that gets backed up, but if you do it on a SIM it only keeps names and numbers.

                              I forgot this. What if I transferred all my contacts to the Sim card and removed it? Is it necessary to have the Sim card in to do the upgrade? And what about putting all my songs and pictures etc on a Micro card and then removing that too? Is that possible? Hm! Just looking for the easiest way to "backup".

For the next few days I'll be busy so I'll have to try it over the weekend because I don't want to start & drop. I've got to CONCENTRATE and that is hard for me!!! Too many interruptions today too.

                                    For my local sat weather map, I use Wunderground. I don't even bother with forecast anymore as I can see the map itself at my own time. See here:
                                    http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/TT/Piarco.html?MR=1

                                    When I open Opera Mini, 2 sites come up under "My Sites" (because I use it so often). The first one leads to the second (by tapping on the little map) which goes straight to the Interactive Weather Map. That's the one I use. The map on Opera is a little smaller than if I used Google but the speed of Opera compensates for the size. If there is a faster way to access a sat map, I don't know about it.

                                    The weather app that comes with the phone doesn't work and after finding this way, I don't need to install an app which will just use up memory on the phone unnecessarily. Maybe if you fiddle around you might be able to zero in on your particular area. I have a phobia about heavy rain (and we are in the rainy season) because I got marooned because of flooding 4 times and could not get home. Today is beautiful though.

                                    I'll take Carol's advice. To be safe, I'll open a file on my PC and move everything that can move into that file because I have not yet collected much junk in the phone yet. That will be as good as stripping it of personal items. One step at a time!

                                      Stupid me, 31 Jul 2013You're a riot! A dummy model? Sounds neat. :-) Geez! If I w... moreThey can be safely unlocked, but in the old days you just connected the phone to a PC via some software and clicked "unlock" whereas today each phone has an unique code which has to be bought "under the table" from the operator, or you pay the operator the full price for the unlocking. Some phones are sold unlocked, I think my operator sold Lumias like that.

                                      What satellite weather map are you using? I'd be interested in that. I'm just checking the forecast on yr.no which is very accurate but I wouldn't mind seeing exactly how far those clouds are from me and my dog. :-)

                                      As Carol said, the torch app just makes the display glow at full force, vLight is good, as well as the free "Flash" app by Matthias Bay. But it's enough for me. Not as blinding as the LED on my other Nokia X2-00 but it does the job.

                                      As for locking, I use the free "QuickLock" app from the Store. Just put the icon on the home screen and you're good to go. But hey, update the phone to Belle first. :-) I see the daily interest jumped from 11% to 13% so I'm guessing thousands of people are checking to see if you've made it. :-D
