Dont you think the pasting of IMEI sticker on the back, spoils the beauty of phone ? it should be under the battery & battery should be removable.

    [deleted post]Interesting contributions, thnx for the informative post. Can you provide the firmware versions from each video? I can post a link where the N8 does not have those kind of issues so who should the general public believe, me or you?
    I guess you are trying to prove a point, that being that all phones have issues(unless you're implying only the N8 can be faulty??hope not, cuz then I'm replying to a troll...). The owners of the N8 that have the latest FW and problems like the ones in the videos are inclined for a replacement and Nokia would never deny you one.
    I still don't own the N8 but videos you provided links to would never stop me from buying the phone because the majority of users don't have any issues and are happy with the purchase. The Internet is a beautiful place but it does contain a lot of FUD that can give you a false sense of things. I really don't know how anyone would judge the N8 from your posts alone. People nowdays tend to research their purchases, the N8 has its flaws that are talked to death all over the net but I for one think they are not a deal breaker, but thats just me.
    Also, be sure to visit AAS as they have a five part review of this baby and part six is on the way.
    Cheers!

                        A smart phone life time is at least 3 years from the birth. People buy Nokia's Symbian phones or reasons, good battery life, rich feature and hardware build quality. All these things come with the power of the os. The more things the os supports, the more complex the os is and the more maintenance work the os needs. people need to realize it. Half year to work out a complex major update for a full-fledged and feature rich os is not considered too long.

                        Besides how do you know it will need 6 months this time for Symbian 3? Actually Nokia has provided some updates already. I am sure more is coming on the way. If you don't believe, wait and see before saying. Please don't always judge things according to your past experience. Things may get change and the world is not static. Nokia is changing and we have seen already some evidences, right my friend?

Fun, but not something I would carry around and there is very little actual data available anyway, not even release date.

                              Besides, tell me who gets to choose between N8 and this? N8 is not available in Japan and this will never be available anywhere else.

Remember this is the first Symbian 3 fi... moreThe thing is a year is a mighty long time in smartphone's life, so if it takes a manufacturer about six months to fix all the bugs and produce hot fixes like it takes with Nokia that means six months of nothing but frustration. I speak from experience as am a former N97 user. People are still waiting for that all important hot fix nearly 2 years on. Nokia High end smartphones are underpowered and there just ain't enough RAM installed, Symbian itself may not need to much CPU cycles or RAM but third party apps installed may. Off course IOS has bugs but at the end day people affected by the loss of signal are in the minority. Otherwise it works flawlessly. With Nokia phones you need to know which combination of buttons to hold down to reset or learn how to take the battery out and if you do it to the N8 you void your warranty.
                                    It's all about user experience, that's why IOS is out selling symbian in the high end market sector as it a much better user experience.
