Takes a lot of presses to move around. Was playing with an egg timer when my friend's 4s received a txt that needs to be answered. Egg timer goes to the background...................
And stops. Totally.
That explains the "smooth" operation. ahhahah

N8 has limited apps but you can't use some of them if you phone is not hacked. But fortunately it's really easy to do it. Thanks to N8 fanclub for their apps and support.

So every hypothetical owner researched his purchase and checked the page at least 3 times, which can't exactly be said for iPhones or most Androids, looking at their view counters. :-)
As for LEDs, sad but true. There's an interview with Damian Dinning on AllAboutSymbian where they are speculating that the next Nok... - I mean Microsoft - camera flagship won't have Xenon - and some leaked prototypes sort of confirm this - because of more possibilities (combining more images into one etc) to play around with LED. Well good, but I still need the hyperfast old-school Xenon. Sadly it's sort of a niche product category, and I'm betting most people don't even know what it does. Except that phones with Xenon aren't thin.
2 and 3... It's all because of mass consumerism and money making, sadly. I'm thinking of expressions like "throwing money at problems, not solutions" or "creating solutions for non-existent problems" and of course "planned obsolescence". I wonder how many people actually stream music while driving to work, with bad signal, battery drain etc? The same for uploading and backups, should I leave my phone on wifi and charger all day? And trust that photos of my dog won't end up in the wrong hands? :-) Companies still make phones that are worse than flagships 2-3 years ago and yet do everything to persuade people that they should get a more expensive new one instead a perfectly good old one. Imagine how it was possible, 10 years ago, to launch a flagship that was still desirable and perfectly usable 2 years later...
Off-topic - I played with the iPhone 6 Plus yesterday... Wow it's big. And thin. And light. And feels cheap-ish. :-)

1. Advanced camera optics with LED FLASH.
2. Non expandable storage/pitiful storage for App installs (1st world reaction: Who cares about microsd? Just upload to Google drive/One drive etc)
3. "Nearly" non removable battery. (1st world reaction: I change phones every 2 years so it's not a proble for me. I say: Yeah, it's the proble of the next guy who will buy your phone, right?)
PS. N8 is no. 4 on the interest list. hahah

Rev-KILOSH, 08 Dec 2014Hi there! My NOKIA N8 still the best option by far. No thou... moreHell-o,
I don't know about Adobe, but I'd recommend NSR Reader - it's free on AppList, fast and light ( http://applist.schumi1331.de/content/148 ). Or Picsel Smart Office, both handle .pdf much better than Adobe.
No idea about the search shortcut, I used it a few times and forgot about it, sorry.
I agree about Android, tried it, it's not bad but not too good looking and I don't like the idea of being spied on and paying for it. :-) I would get one just for Skype but I don't need it that much any more, so...

No thou... moreHave a look at the moto g, very similar phone with much better specs, a very ergonomic design and great user experience. Almost stock android, so no unecessary bloatware and is 100x better than the nokia n8 which i found very annoying to say the least and the ovi store is just atrosious. Also, the moto g is still a very afordable phone and is in the same price braket as the nokia n8

Hi there! My NOKIA N8 still the best option by far. No thoughts of buying anything Android related. However, i have a lil concern
a) my N8 Adobe PDF has stopped working. How do i resolve that?
b) secondly, my shorcut for music search is also not working. If i use the shortcut 'search' for images, videos, etc, it is working fine. If i search for music (mp3),it does not respond. Help me out please.
Thanx!

Supremo, 07 Dec 2014Unbelievable but true. I got the 5.1 MB update for the Noki... moreAh yes, I see what you mean. I haven't seen a theme with a transparent menu bottom bar yet so I guess it's not possible. What makes me angry are theme makers who don't make the bottom bar transparent (which _is_ possible) even in the home screen, so when I turn the camera on there's a non-transparent stripe at the bottom covering a part of the frame. I guess it's not a problem for other Belle phones, but for the N8 it surely is. I haven't seen a transparent theme yet, definitely. Sorry.
As for AMOLED, I actually use a theme with a dark brown background, mostly because I use my phone a lot at night and if the theme is completely black I don't see where my thumb is too well. :-D
As for the Store update, the guy from AllAboutSymbian is trying to find out what it is about too and there might be an article about it on Monday. I actually used Twitter to read that, which doesn't happen too often. :-)

MdN8, 06 Dec 2014Believe or not, Nokia Store got a 5MB update yesterday - bu... moreUnbelievable but true. I got the 5.1 MB update for the Nokia Store today . Just updated but I don't see any improvements except the Store offers smooth and faster navigation now. It's worth the update. As you know, Nokia X2-00 is having 240x320 resolution and theme there on the forum is made for 320x240 resolution so it won't fit well on the X2-00 but since it's a Nokia, it will at least work. Try it on your Nokia X2-00 and you'll get an idea of what kind of theme I am looking for my Nokia N8. This is a fully transparent theme where the wallpaper can be seen in most of the user interface and except the icons, all the elements are transparent through which you can see the wallpaper. I want a theme like that for my Nokia N8 if possible :-) Nokia Evolve theme is AMOLED friendly because it's a black theme so the on screen buttons on the menu won't be transparent.

Anonymous, 06 Dec 2014Augh. My brain is all over the place.
Summary: Housing... moreHmmm maybe he opened it and realised it's not the color he advertised? But then, where would the images be from? Well if it's eBay you should be protected somehow. And if I remember correctly you were looking for the pink version - in that case you're probably color blind and it's all the same to you. :-))) Kidding! :-D
Anyhow, I got mine used, and I'm probably the 3rd owner. Took me a long while to find one at a price I could afford, a few went away right before I called, and finally I found one in a city next to mine. The case was scratched and a screw was missing near the hdmi port (I got it later, and the case didn't get any new scratches since) but I was tired of looking and... On one side a lovely dark grey Nokia N8, on the other side some pieces of paper with numbers of them - Just give me my phone already!!! >:-)
For all I know it could have been opened or repaired in the past, but luckily, 20 months later and still no problems. The thing is really built to last (knocks on wood).
