It could be that something is wrong with the proximity sensor causing the phone screen to stay on and you may not have noticed it and it activates the speaker mode when it touches your face.
There are others experiencing the same problem and you are not alone.

[deleted post]You can't buy a phone without a samsung component inside it. LOL. Nokia N8's screen, processor and internal flash memory is manufactured by samsung. They are supergiant in electronics world and every company uses at least one samsung product in their final products. Like AMOLED screens in HTC or A4 processor in iPhone. haha.

rdca, 16 Mar 2011My observation on my n8,
My n8 its shown dark brown in a... moreIt's been speculated that the defect appears to be faulty drivers of the screen. Your problem seems to be caused by the light sensor of the phone. Have you tried to load the test images on tv out/hdmi out? It should display the proper color on your tv. Load the test image in the gallery and connect your N8 to your tv. It should show the test image in its proper color while appearing purplish on your N8.
Nokia already admitted the defect. Tell your local NC to look for the bulletin on the data base. It is not emailed to each NC as far as I know and they have to search for the bulletin themselves on the data base.
I spoke to the head of NC in Greenhills over the phone last week and he seems to be clueless about the issue. He never repplied to my follow-up text message.

Nokia was trying to cover up the purple screen defect by banning buzx777, who tried to start out some threads on the official Nokia forums about the defect. So much for Nokia's world class service.

Nokiausers.net forum member Buxz777 was banned several times at the official Nokia forums for starting out some threads about the purple screen defect. After getting banned a few times, he was able to get ahold of somebody up there and he was unbanned and was able to post his thread. Nokia was trying to cover up the defect at first but buxz777 made a lot of noise about the issue and was ultimately able to get Nokia's attention.

5th post from the top. buzx777 was banned for posting a thread with a poll on how many N8s were defective.

Below are excerpts from from CEO STEPHEN ELOP based on GSMARENA Article dated Feb. 09,2011--SAD BUT TRUE. Nokia bridge is falling down.
"...Consumer preference for Nokia declined worldwide. In the UK, our brand preference has slipped to 20 percent, which is 8 percent lower than last year. That means only 1 out of 5 people in the UK prefer Nokia to other brands. It's also down in the other markets, which are traditionally our strongholds: Russia, Germany, Indonesia, UAE, and on and on and on.
How did we get to this point? Why did we fall behind when the world around us evolved?
This is what I have been trying to understand. I believe at least some of it has been due to our attitude inside Nokia. We poured gasoline on our own burning platform. I believe we have lacked accountability and leadership to align and direct the company through these disruptive times. We had a series of misses. We haven't been delivering innovation fast enough. We're not collaborating internally.
Nokia, our platform is burning."

You are lucky to get a perfect unit but a lot of defective units are still in the wild and Nokia should do a recall to prevent the public from getting a defective unit.

AnonD-1082, 15 Mar 2011Everything up to this point are just speculations we don't ... moreThe admission of Nokia of defects is good BUT IT DOESN'T JUSTIFY it. Before releasing their products, it should have been thoroughly tested. It seems they just approve the shipments of phones without the thorough testing, or management says so to approve the phones regardless if it has defects. Is that just for the money? Oh shame. Don't you think that's abusing Nokia fanatics of their trust? Nokia users who bought their phones should receive the same value for what they paid for. This is an expensive phone, just to realize defects exist in this phone. This is BRAND NEW, defective phones as BRAND NEW means defects were made during PRODUCTION, and still they shipped the faulty products. How many years more Nokia? another 10years of faulty products?

chester, 15 Mar 2011Even if I don’t support their strategy,I can proudly say No... morePartnering with Microsoft for a new OS line up only means SYMBIAN phones are Pre-historic phones, it has many faults and complaints. If SYMBIAN is the best OS, using your common sense, you will know that it should not be changed. But Nokia is already replacing it.
