    sanbin24, 06 Nov 2012hey Carol ...!!! Do me a favour plz. Should i buy n8 as a... moreyou remind me, of me:). I was like this more then one year ago:). When allot of bad stuff you could hear about the n8 also allot of good stuff to. I shore well liked the n8 allot. ALLOT ALLOT. And i needed a good camera in my device so back then N8 was the only option for me (now we have the mighty 808, i can't wait to get it))). But still, so many bad things!!! Man... was i confused. But i remembered that non-experienced users always talk to much and also never know how to use a Symbian. Also, there was a fight against Nokia back then, so allot of liars that never touched an n8 were complaining about others complaining's to make people think that this device is 70% bad. It was kind of impossible for Nokia to sell such a bad phone as i was hearing. I mean: Come on! There are always some factory defects phones, but to say that all of them are bad is just mockery for Nokia. So i tried my "luck". And never had a problem with mine, of course, from my experience with Nokia, that should have been obvious! It is the device that has Nokia quality written all over. Just one time, in a year, rebooted it self, and that because of an app i've installed and wasn't very compatible with my n8. But of course, i know how to work with smartphones. Allot of people don't know that. I also know how to update properly. There is an OTA update function, but never update your firmware via ota. As from anna to belle there is a great system change, so it s clearly that if you want to update your device without errors don't do it via OTA. Of course that nokia didn't let people to install Belle via ota, but that's not the only thing it should be done. The Phone should be formatted before updating. It is normal that some apps installed in anna will give errors in belle making the phone lagging. This is a mobile system and like all the operating systems in the world, needs some care. At the end, is your choice! I would buy 808 but if you don't have so much money you can buy it. It is a good phone. After one year of use i am still not even closed to bored:). After all, all the problems that are system related can be fixed very easy. If you have a hardware related problem with it, you have 2 years warranty. it is not like you cannot replace it after buying it. It is also not like all of them are doomed and i have the only good one in the world:))

        Lindie, 06 Nov 2012Hi there i've got a Problem with my N8 it's keeps on freezi... moreGo to Nokia again, and never take it to those low life's people. Nokia , as far as i know, has international warranty, so you can buy it from Germany and repair it in Italy or anywhere is a Nokia care center and for free if it's newer then 2 years.

          MB, 06 Nov 2012yes dear carol iam using belle !! And my cell is new so i ... morei had this problem when i update to refresh via OTA (cause i had to leave my house and had no patience) My phone hanged when loading heavy pages with flash. But not always. i did a reflash with phoenix and now everything is ok. As i was saying, if it's new, is good that you haven't done so many things in it. But is your choice. you can also, take it back. they will do the same:). i think.

            It's a real tragedy that I can't anymore download torrent files on my N8 Belle Refresh. I remember I was able to at Anna using Symtorrent. I already emailed Symtorrent and I guess they won't be updating their great app anymore.
            What's more pitiful is that I plan on getting an 808 Pureview but if I cannot download torrents on it, then sadly, I won't be buying it.
            Now I'm torn between Motorola Razr i and Nokia Lumia 820. Since I think my N8 is unfixable on its wifi problem, might as well upgrade to a bigger, more powerful phone.
            I just hope there is an app that would be able again to download torrents for Symbian so I would definitely get a brand new N8 or the 808.

                I hv been using it, battery life is satisfactory but the main problem is that the processor speed is not sufficiant that can run the applications smoothly. Moreover Symbrian operating system is not attractive and ovi store does not have much useful and satisfactory applications. So it is better to use the phones which runs by Android OS. Also the are cheapper than Nokia with more speedy hardware and other benefits.

                            olufshina, 05 Nov 2012I upgraded to Belle but nothing seems to change, it remains... moreMaybe you had already Symbian belle installed and you just updated to belle refreshed. Belle refreshed is just fixing some bugs add's some new widgets, some "facelift" here and there. And that's about it.

Did you updated your phone to belle after you bought it? If yes, did something happened during the update? Also, is your phone updated via OTA (over the air) or you have used your pc for updating. Or, your phone came updated to Belle. Anyway, it is not a very old device and presuming you have not done to many personalization in it, you can do a factory reset and format and reinstall your software via nokia suite.
