Krish, 31 Oct 2011Hi Ray, I would like yo purchase a new smart phone. Now ... more
Hi Krish,

I very much like the look of the new Motorola RAZR and would buy it tomorrow if I had the cash.

You might like to consider the Samsung Galaxy S II as well. Pretty much every professional reviewer has given it top marks.

However, Nokia are soon to release their new batch of WP 7.5 Mango phones but I've no idea if they're any good or not.

All the best.

Ray

Nokia announced this set the best camera smart mobile. so how can you compare this one with a 3.2 mpx camera you cant even compare a 3.2 mpx camera with n82 5 mpx camera ..

              N8 is super slow. Every update they bring out makes the phone even worse. Advise from me, do not install any updates on this phone. Don't install Anna. Too many bugs. Even though it has a 12 megapixel camera, my old Sony Ericsson 3.2 megapixel camera phone took better photos. It's a slow phone. They had nice intentions with the phone, but it's like trying to play a really nice new 2011 computer game with cool graphics on an old pentium2 laptop with 16MB RAM.

                  Ray,

                  I have an N8 with Symbian Anna running on it.I can't wait for the official release of Symbian Belle and so I have decided to flash my set with Belle .But is it safe to install any of these custom firmwares available on the internet? I'm not bothered about the warranty and stuff as my N8 is almost a year old now, but I don't want anything bad to happen to my set because it's working just fine .And with the custom Belle running on my N8, will I be able to revert back to Anna and install the official Belle OS when it is released? Please help.

                  Thanks in advance.

                        purple screen is never a issue in my phn.. ya 1 of my frnd has the purple screen issue but he has nt yet updated his phn to symbian anna.. and in my opinion its not a matter of concern... bcoz now in new and even older phn this issue is almost fixed.. the all u need to think is can u get a feature rich phn like n8 in its price.... Nokia N8 is 1 of the perfect phn produced by nokia... like 6600, N73, E71, etc.....

                          Most of you know that I use both Nokia N8 & Samsung Galaxy S II. I have been experimenting with my S2 & comparing it with my N8 since my N8 came back from the Nokia care last Thursday. Now, when I tried to go to internet from my office (which has Wi-Fi connection & I have registered my phones with the network with the WEP key) in my N8, it uses the Wi-Fi instead of using GPRS/EDGE (I didn't have to switch on the Wi-Fi, it switches itself on & connects to the network, choosing the best connection comparing on GPRS/EDGE/Wi-Fi). But my S2 didn't do that itself. I had to manually switch on the Wi-Fi to let it access the Wi-Fi. Then again, after finishing the browsing, I let my N8 stay idle for say 5 mins & it switched off the Wi-Fi itself, but even after 30 mins, S2 didn't switch off the Wi-Fi. Now, you guys tell me (specially Ray Hipkiss), which one do you think is "smart phone" & which one do you think is "dumb phone"? Waiting for some answers. Any fandroids are also welcome to answer my question.
                          Keep N8-ing.

                              Whenever i am connecting my Pendrive or USB memory stick with the USB OTG adapter and trying to Copy an Excel or a Word file to N8 it always shows an error" NOT ENOUGH MEMORY" and then stops.
                              My Internal memory is having a space of 12 GB free.

                              Could any one xplain why is it happening and how to rectify it.
                              Thanks in advance.

                                There was a guy, he was not happy with the software of N8. I think there is only browser problem, but you can download Opera Mobile 11.1 (6.9 MB) or Opera Mobile 11.1 with asian language support (8.3 MB) from m.opera.com. It will also save your data usage 80%. It will compress data and whatever you supposed to get in 5 seconds you will get in 1 second. You will feel 500% faster speed. First download and install Opera mobile 11.1. Do the browser settings as per your taste and eye vision.
                                Open the browser. Tap right bottom corner icon, then settings and try the settng as follows:
                                Load images : ON
