But it is quite good, You will surely love the new themes effects, And New apps will be added the phone will be hacked it self means you can install any sisx file app, Battery will work a little good, as per my experience, The Menu will be fully customized like all navigation apps like Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive will be found in a folder named Navigation You will have a hard time finding the app like call log and calculator

BELLE FP2 Widgets will be found

And FP2 style Multi tasking Interface will be on it...

Over all It will be good.


But be careful Flashing that Firm ware cause my phone was dead for more than 12 hours had to re boot it through dead flashing And it worked

Now I am looking forward to try Symbian Anna Cause I never had my hands on it..

I'll advice you to please go through Youtube and have the look of Belle Delight..

After that try to change your Firmware on your phone to belle delight....

        AnonD-129768, 30 Nov 2013Thank you I am gonna try the camera app seems to be Interes... moreYes, the N8 is a Legend. If Nokia was smarter, they would of released an updated version of the N8 with the 808 specs or better. I love this phone still. Mine is two years old now and it still looks like new. I have the Xeon custom firmware on it which makes it even better. No other phone like it in my opinion.

I know it went down to 4% at one time but started going up again after a week or so and climbed steadily thereafter. My recollection - from 11% in July(?) to 39% today! That is truly impressive. That makes the N8 a CLEAR WINNER. Too bad I lost interest in it in terms of use. So! It has also passed the Ace too! Wow! I never understood why the Ace was ahead of the N8. Well, it is easy to use,I guess - and a little cheaper but it takes an eternity to download anything and runs out of memory after you install 3 - 4 apps. Gross!!!!

                I too wish I had one more to try Delight. I have more than 160 apps in it (works as fast as ever), and a lot of settings and stuff, so it would be hard to re-install it all. But if I had another one I would do it slowly in my free time. Mine is scratched too, but that's because of the old owner. :-/
                Guess what, 40 percent daily interest now!!!

                    What, 38% daily interest and no new comments? OK, I have some free time so I'm going to recommend some free apps. While we still have the Nokia Store.

                    Quick Lock - lock your display by tapping an icon. This is the fastest lock app I found.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/105677

                    Slide To Unlock - unlock the display by sliding or double tapping with two fingers. Sometimes unlocks the phone in your pocket, though.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/223607

                    Tap2Screen - easiest screenshot app. Puts an icon hovering above everything so you just tap on it.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/208962

                    Remind Me - plays a sound you choose every 3, 5 or 10 minutes if you have a missed call or SMS/MMS.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/36148

                    Qcal Nitro - the fastest calculator.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/282317

                    CalQTlator - the best calculator.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/254217

                    NeoReader - free QR Code reader. Works great.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/35043

                    App Stop - you can close some hidden apps you don't need, such as Weather or WRT widgets.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/92945

                    QuickRotate - enable/disable auto screen rotation by tapping an icon.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/330302

                    ClockSync - on demand it synchronizes the clock in your phone with an atomic clock from the internet.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/180821

                    BubbleCompassFree - simple and fast compass.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/279019

                    SCam Free - very cool camera app. You can take photos at 100% quality, motion activated photos, time lapse, exposure bracketing, slow shutter, text, sport. A bit slower interface but it's free. And it has the best zoom ever.
                    http://store.ovi.com/content/249918

                    Hope this helps someone.

I remember Carol wrote step-by-step instructions a few months ago, I found them on page 37 (I thought it was around page 40 so it didn't take too long to find) so I'll just copy-paste them, I hope this helps:

                            Do a backup of important files and rename it with what ever name you want (don't let the default name) tell you later why.

                            now factory reset the damn thing. dial *#7370# and follow the instructions (this will format your mass mem, so if it came with apps on it, they are gone). The format will take from 3 to 10 minutes depending on the memory. So let it do it's job until start's up and asks for PIN (if you have one, which i recommend deactivating during the update, just deactivate to spare some seconds and to much THINKING:)) continue with setting up your country and clock and so on. Set the time and date and go on with the start up (set the time and date good, don't pass them (not required, but for safety in case of a phantom or something:)). Now after starts and while loads the widgets. Let it do it's job, just let it 1 or 2 minutes to load all the crap it needs to load. Then open Nokia Suite then plug the phone in USB. Let Nokia suite install it's plugins. This will take something like 30 seconds. No big of a deal. Now (again just to avoid any possible problems, minding you are scared as hell) unplug your device and restart it, let it load to the full, just let it after restart to be secured has loaded everything. Meanwhile, restart your pc to and let that rig load it's system till goes crazy, by the way, you will need to remember what i've said cause we're not gonna open anything besides Nokia suite. After everything is loaded, finally open Nokia Suite and after is fully loaded, plug your n8 in USB and FINALY Hit software update. Follow the instructions, nokia will make an automatic backup of NOTHING, cause your phone is empty, so that is why your original backup has a name of your own so you won't get confused while manually restore. Let Nokia suite do it's job, your phone will go blank and windows will say several times that your device was plugged unplugged trying to install it. Ignore everything what windows says and just follow what Nokia Suite says. Don't touch your device during the update. Don't set anything until Nokia Suite says it has finished (only if you have set the PIN code i told you to deactivate), and installs additional and so on, when Nokia says you can use it. The you can unplug and you can use it. There you go, you are up and done Belle Refresh is in your device:). As addition, Don't install Microsoft office update, they will eat to much of your memory. Update i think are useless and never installed: Colorizeit, Microsoft Apps, New Social, Nokia Music, upload to skydrive. Stop your negative thinking and go ahead.:)

                                        Yes, I know weber said support is until 2016 but... Ever heard of nokia store? *hint* *hint*
