Official NOKIA N8 thread

Hey has anyone else had and issue were the phone just decides to reboot itself, was doing an update and it gets to 99% and reboots!!!!
 
Hi Guys,
N8 is on special from Metro in Menlyn. You get a Nokia 5800 free with Nokia N8 on business call for R185.

I got this special yesterday. Now i have few questions.

1. How do I disconnect from the internet.
I have set the connection to always ask, then when trying to acess an application which uses internet it ask me to connect to internet. Which is fine. But it does not disconnect automatically after i am done with application.

2. Any tips to save battary.

3. Did anybody buy a pouch for the phone. If yes, please tell me where and how much?
thanks,
kotesh

You'll need to set your widgets to offline mode on one of the home screens. "Options" -> "Widgets to offline mode".
 
Got my N8 upgrade as a Christmas present... Happy with it so far!! Still trying to get used to the touch screen... Thats taking a while since I'm so used to buttons...
The camera on the phone is awesome as expected...
I'm just worried bout the battery because I can't seem to get more than a days usage out of it before it dies on me... I charged fully before use and completely discharged and recharged it 3 times already but it still only lasts just short of a day... Anyone else having these troubles?
 
Installed this really awesome app on my N8 and it really makes the screen tons brighter!!!

Let me know what you think...

EDIT:
Don't make the brightness 0% or 100% or you'll have to restart your phone cause you won't be able to see anything... ;)

IMHO the N8 is a great midrange phone but cant really compete against the high end Androids, iOS4 or WM7.

I can't be compared price wise either to said phones... That'd be like comparing a Citi Golf to a Golf 6 GTI... Different prices, different phones...
 
Does anyone know if there are any stock? VCSP said they will call me as soon as there are any. Waiting. Bad time of year to wait! :-)

Some pretty impressive shots here where the N8 is compared to a Canon 550D DSLR

A dslr in unexperienced hands will take a worse picture than a point and shoot. Its a stupid comparison.
The camera is very good on this phone though, its about the only thing it has going for it though.

I am not sure if this was asked and answerd here befor, but i read soem where the n8 can play .mkv and divx files with out any extra conversion or software required.
is this true?

My N8 plays .mkv files fine...
Not sure about divx files... What extension are divx files? The camera records .mp4 video files...

I don't get it... what's wrong with Symbian? Look at the CPU clockspeed compared to Android and iOS devices, then compare performance.

He is confused about what a phone and what a desktop PC should be. So everybody in the world should stop buying Nokias now?

Just heard something on a video review that I had not considered before....

I know that the N8 has USB on the go which allows you to plug in a USB hard drive, flashstick and the like and view it as a drive on the phone. What I hadn't realised is that it also enables you to plug in a USB keyboard and use that! Or so the review says....

Excellent!

Haters beware, Steve Litchfield is a Symbian fan of sorts so rather don't watch it ;)

It also sports an HDMI and Dolby out and that amazing (even more amazing now) :) camera, just (more) amazing! Off course you will get some jealous individuals. After all it's supposed to be a phone firstly.

Thanks for this thread in need.
