    Lashaaa, 12 Feb 2012@ Everyone interested in N8 Belle is better than S^3 and... moreIf your N8 is lagging after update to Belle, you may want to considering reinstalling firmware. Mine is very smooth, no lag. My upgrade went very well and I"m very happy. The only thing I've noticed is with more widgets and home screens running battery life is diminished...the same on any phone.

    Thanks,
    Charles

              @ Everyone interested in N8

              Belle is better than S^3 and Anna, but hmmm.. Even after the update, reseting and everything, the N8 still is a quite laggy smartphone and sadly, it will remain laggy for the rest of its existance. Thanks to the 680Mhz CPU, and a 256MB RAM. :)

                            after updating to symbian belle, some application was lost like yahoo messenger and games. I am trying to find the games but lost already and a little bit slow to connect in network even using 3g. Camera not yet tested.

                              What's wrong with you Nokia? I mean, come'n, wake up, look around. iOS, Android OS, BBOS, even the Windows OS always keeps their best in their next update. But you, you guys so called "updated" into Belle, which actually downgraded my experience with Symbian. You don't understand, right? Well, let me describe.

                              1. People want flat menu, some (like me) want their menu to be organised by folders (and folders inside another folder). Those who want flat menu could just delete the folders and make it flat like whichever way they want. But, now that you don't have folders inside another folder, people who are used to organise their applications into folders (like games in one folder, office in another folder and so on) are getting seriously hurt and lost in the new menu system. What would be lost if there were folders? Those who don't want it, could just delete the folders and keep your applications free to scroll (well, I don't like scrolling).
                              2. Where the hell is my voice call option? In Anna, I could just press and hold the "call" button, or the green call button, my phone would get ready for my voice call. But where is it in Belle? I even tried the call button in my handsfree to activate the voice call, but no luck there. Why the hell did you switch off the voice call? I use Nokia N8, so no call or end key there to check whether the call key enable the voice call itself.
                              3. You said that every icon in the main screen will have atleast five size. Well, I find no more than... ...you're right, JUST ONE. If I am NOT ALLOWED to change the size of the widgets, atleast let us have more widgets.
                              4. The "Web" is now able to open more windows, but just SIX? That's it? Come'n man, get a top notch Android device & try opening new windows. You can open AS MANY as you want, not just six. Not that I mind with just six windows (it does the job just fine), but to compete with the others, you have to be on par with others.
                              5. In Anna, my lock screen clock would go off if kept in my pocket or the phone was faced down (saving energy in the process). Thanks to the proximity sensor which would turn it on as soon as it saw the face of light. But in Belle, the clock is always on.
                              6. I hated the NOKIA TUNE. It was not at all on par with Nokia. The sound intensity is VERY LOW.
                              7. One thing I said again and again. When any Symbian^3 phones are on "power saving mode", the phone NEVER vibrates during an incoming call. Please modify this to vibration (or give us some option).
                              8. The gallery is a crap now. I could select multiple pictures with a single click previously, but now it takes more than one click.
                              9. In the call menu, the green call key brings out the call log, so does the call log icon in the bottom row. At least you could make one of them show the full call log (where you get the log of last one month).

                              Now, let me congratulate you on some pros you made.

                              1. Six home screens are more than welcome. You have come a long way to make it happen.
                              2. With even 256MB RAM & 600MHz processor, my N8 runs smoooooother than ever. Moreover, it increased the battery longivity, now I can use my phone longer (even though only a few hours more).
                              3. The soft menu button replaces the hardware menu and I love it. I'm always afraid that the hardware button will wear off. But atleast make sure that the long press on the soft menu shows the open applications.
                              4. I love the fact that the icons goes to new (of my choice) position when in landscape mode. Other OSs are unable to put any show in landscape mode in the home screen.
                              5. I was (along with others) hoping that N8's video recorder will be able to capture full HD this time, but no luck there. Still, my hats off goes on with the continuous autofocus.
                              6. I love the way the NOKIA icon shows in the power on or off status.
                              7. I always love the fact that I can choose Alpha-Neumeric keybed in potrait mode while my landscape mode lets me use the SWYPE QWERTY keyboard.

                              That should be all for now. All-in-all, I'm not impressed with the update. I hope Nokia will listen to the voice of the users all around the world & make the updates neccessary. But before I go, I would like to tell one thing, the more option you give, the more user friendly the OS will become.

                              Keep N8-ing

                                        Time and again, I am checking every single application of belle. There are some more multimedia errors. They are as follows:
                                        1. Voice Recorder -> The voice recording is ok, save in E:\Sound files\Recording as .wav file, that is ok. But when you open music player there is no file. Neither it is saying one new file found. So an ordinary user can not play this file again. Only advance users can play this file by going to recorded file. Any new sound file .mp3, .wav or all other they should reflect in music player as new files found. It should remain there until you delete it.
                                        2. Camera -> The recording is ok up to some extent. Belle is saving the recording in E:\DCIM\100Nokia as .jpg (photo) and .mp4 (Video) that is also ok. As far as .jpg (photos) are reflecting in Gallery that is ok. But .mp4 (video files) should reflect in Video application as so many new video found. But these are also in Gallery. Moreover, system file (wallpapers) they are in Gallery and you can delete these files too. Ha ha...... What a fun Nokia. I think this is two three hours job to fix these small bugs.
                                        Let us how Nokia will react?
