    As far as I know, Nokia are waiting for local approval from the USA, even for SIM free unlocked phones. Approval still needs to be given for the update to ensure full compliance and compatibility with the networks. It's also well known that the USA is notoriously slow when it comes to approving firmware updates, even for Android phones as well.


    All the best.

      This is not a critical bug. it's something Nokia removed from the logs.
      A critical bug would be bad coding causing the OS to crash repeatedly.

      Cheers.

          You will not be able to upgrade to Anna until the update has been approved in the USA.
          Also, I don't know how long you have had your N8 but if it is still new, you don't have a warranty either. The warranty for your N8 is applicable in the USA only.
          Buying an N8 from one country to use in another is a risky thing to do when you consider the manufacturing defects that have been known to plague the N8, from faulty screens to faulty motherboards.

          Anyway, the best of luck to you but don't be too anxious to get the Anna update, it's nothing special. A minor UI change, split screen text input, a re-designed browser (which is still laggy and slow) and a few minor bug fixes.


          All the best.

                          To whoever is considering buying N8.I am using this phone for last 8 months.I have upgraded to anna now.With anna major improvements are,

                          No crashing or freezing of phone or apps
                          Better battery life(30-40%)
                          Email client has become very slick
                          Better browser speed.
                          New camera UI and major improvements in video quality.and lots more.You can check other improvements everywhere.

                          Now with Belle expected in November,no phone can beat N8's value for money,as belle promises to make the UI very good with increased battery life and many other goodies.
                          So N8 owners rejoice and prospective buyers,rush there is no substitute to N8 even after 1 year.Best Camera,free GPS,HDMI port,FM transmitter,awesome build quality,call quality,great battery performance.What else do you need in a smartphone with such price.

Mind you, N8 has the least amount of RAM (256MB) of the four Symbian^3 phones (N8, C6-01, C7 & E7). So, the users who just press the 'menu' button to exit the programs will find their phone hang as the RAM will be quickly filled up. I always press & hold menu for the running programs & remove which I don't use at the moment. Second, my Orange N8 had purple tint in PR1.2, but went away after the Anna update. My wife's Green N8 didn't have purple tint in PR1.1, had it in PR1.2 & it went away in Anna update. So from that I can guaranty that the purple tint is NOT a HW problem. It will be gone when you update to Anna. One more thing, to knm, pls don't exaggerate about something you love so much, don't screw it up with lie. You said N8 has CBD (Clear Black Display), but it doesn't. Only C6-01 & E7 (among N8, C6-01, C7 & E7) has CBD. Please, know the device before describing it to someone else, don't mislead others.
                                    Keep N8-ing.

This is a creative phrase line. When you eat continuously - you are eating, when you sleep continuously - you are sleeping, when you smile continuously - you are smiling. Same way, when you use N8 continuously - you are N8-ing. Understood? Sorry bro, but you disappointed me. Anyway, take care.
