            For Mods #11,#12, ONLY select 1 option, if multiple options selected the top most option will be use.

            11. Browser's Cache (D:\)

            - Experiment mods, no significant effect after the mods.

            19. Light Sensor Disable
            - Totally disable the Light Sensor, LCD will have 100% brightness all the time (will dim ONLY in power safe mode)

            20. Haptics Improvement
            - Lower the vibration and fine tune level 1/2/3 haptics feedback (not must different as i can tell)

            21. Vibration Alert Improvement
            - Same goes with haptics mods, can't really feel big different

            22. Camera Full Shutdown (RAM)
            - Camera apps will fully shutdown once you close the apps (won't remain in the memory), but the N8 have better camera apps as the total shutdown and without only make ~1Mb ram saving (not like what we see in 5800xm as it's camera apps are memory *****)

            23. Fast Screen Rotation
            - Can feel "a bit" faster but not lighting fast as the delay seem not from the sensor but rather from the UI.

            24. FM Transmitter RDS

                                        Well ive own a silver white N8 and its cool . Amoled Screen is so Bright and Vivid . Symbian 3 is a good OS . The camera shoots 12 megapixel which is i used for urban and nature photography . HD recording is also what i like . So clear , crisp ,and bright , i enjoy playing need for speed shift in this N8 . The problem about the N8 that its ram is underpowered especially playing youtube desktop mode . Tilting it may cause the browser too sometimes crash . I am owner of an iPhone 3Gs. The onething i hate about my iphone is that it doesnt have a flash player which is a nightmare when playing videos in youtube
