wired, 07 Nov 2012@ Carol Can you inform me (if you know something) for how ... moreHallo. I am sorry but i really don't know for how long will the N8 be manufactured and sold. According to GSMarena, it is still in production. 1: You might get an n8 with factory pre-installed belle. But this is about your luck. I got mine with Anna pre-installed like one year ago. But my niece, after 4 months got one with PR.1.1 installed. We bought them from different online stores. Cause in my country you cannot find it in stores anymore. At least not where i'm leaving. 2) There is no difference between you making an update and them being already updated. If you updated properly you will have no problem. Even if it's not working well, you can format it and reflash the firmare. I had no problems updating from anna to belle. No errors, no nothing(there were some hardware problems with some first n8 series releases, but only some, so try to get one with anna at least, so you can be safe from hating me:). 3) I hope i could help you.

Can you inform me (if you know something) for how much longer N8 will be available on the market. I also want you to make me clear : 1) a brand new one N8 has factory pre-instaled Belle os or no? 2) Is there any difference or problem between an N8 with Belle factory pre-instaled and an N8 updated to Belle from Anna or even from PR1.1? I would like to thank you in advanced.

Since my china-made-2yr-old orange N8 seems to be slowly deteriorating right now, what with the probably unfixable wifi problem restarts and now freezing problems. I wonder what would be the difference when I get the Finland-made Bronze N8 in a week. I'm a bit excited as I'm gonna get a brand new one and still apprehensive that it might still suffer the same probs I had with my soon-to-be-retired old one.
I just hope there's an app like Symtorrent that used to worked in Anna so I can download torrents straight to my phone. Any of you guys know an app I can use on my N8 that is able to do what Symtorrent was able to do. And I'm not gonna revert back to Anna.

If you know for how much longer n8 will be on the market. 2. If i get one brand new the os will be belle as factory pre installed or a previous version and i must do belle upgrade. 3. Is there any difference between first and second case regarding memory free space or other operating problems? In any case what should i prefer to get? (in your opinion ).

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.
