Though, myExplorer is a very good app for accessing the pc via wifi is not quite as good as x-plore when it comes to manage files in your phone (at least, not for for me) i tried them all and x-plore is the only app offering a full potential file manager with a great, fast, handy UI.

"Duktor5" looks more like my level. My Belle wish list is getting longer & longer as I dither over upgrading. I think I'll post my N8 to MdN or Carol and let either of them do it for me :-) so if my baby dies during the operation they can resuscitate it immediately. You're quite a rascal huh? Lying and making us laugh. Well, I certainly cracked up. I'm sure it was taken in good spirit :-). And BTW, every N8 is special – don’t think the android evangelist that loves coming here will appreciate that statement.

as for my n8 speaking capabilities, well, i lied, of course it speaks but i said it to make that 'fearless' guy feel good for having the most special n8 ever, lololol :D

Hey! MyExplore is on my wish list. When I saw I could transfer files via wifi I thought it looked like a good one to get. Now, it seems like it is too advanced for me. I got no where tinkering with voice command. I ended up like Rad-K :-), talking to the phone and getting no answer:-) :-). I tried proposing too, but the guy wouldn't answer!!! The jerk! I'll try again tomorrow.
Rad-K, I really wish someone out there can help you. The only thing I can say (and maybe you saw it too) is that after Jan 2013, device software downloading will be possible only by using the latest software releases with service NOL login supported. Hope that makes sense to you. My vague interpretation is that you now have to log in somewhere if you want to download Belle Refresh. It used to be available elsewhere but Nokia stopped it. There MUST be a way to get it, surely.

Opens zip, rar, 7z and a few others. And I use it to exchange files through wifi between my PC and my phone. As for Refresh, did you try through Nokia Suite? Though, I talked to someone who still hasn't got Belle Refresh on his C7 even with Suite, so, it's all a bit weird. I suppose there are ways to get it unofficially if you're good with Phoenix...

A question for anyone who may know: is belle refresh update still available? I got it Ota when it was first launched, but i had to reinstall software and now it's gone.... My n8 is back at the 2011 symbian version and no 'Refresh' is shown anymore neither through regular updates app nor device manager updates option

Carol, 21 Aug 2013It is just a file manager. You can transfer files, copy paste, install uninstall and so on. No... moreSymbian has its native file manager, but nothing i found better for it than an app called 'myexplorer', much easier and better than 'xplore' and similars, opens rar files, i even norton hacked my n8 with this instead of 'xplore', and it can access all system
files if 'open4all' patched

AnonD-20890, 19 Aug 2013Carol, Whats this? http://www.wondershare.com/android-manager/It is just a file manager. You can transfer files, copy paste, install uninstall and so on. Not something verrrry interesting. Would be good for ios (cause is a crap os and you cannot do that) but androcrap is a Symbian wannabe, so as far as i know you can do all of this without a special app... or?

Stupid me, 20 Aug 2013Oh mih Lord! I swear this is the most entertaining site. I can't stop laughing.
I'm going t... moreHave fun. :-) It recognizes commands as "camera" or "what time is it"... You can see the full list in Settings - Phone - Voice commands. Actually I just whisper "camera" and it turns the camera on... However, after that it doesn't react to "shoot" or "take a photo" or "snap!!!" so I guess it needs some improvement. :-)
Zedge is a website with ringtones, themes, wallpapers etc for mobile phones. I have a page there (with 700000 downloads and counting) and just thought you might want to continue the chat there as I could post more links but since you don't know what it is, never mind. ;-)

I'm going to check out what you mentioned and get back to you. Zedge sounds like something I should have, only thing is, I don't know what it is. I'll google it. There's some stuff on this page that I haven't got a clue about, like exFAT and FAT 32. Hm.
BTW. I looked at all the links and really enjoyed them.

Stupid me, 20 Aug 2013Hi MdN
Thanks for sharing that wonderful article with us! Your post was great too. What you... moreHey, thanks for reading. :-) I see there were 50 more comments since last night, all good. Hah, YouTube... my PC is sometimes too slow as well, so I mostly use my N8, the FastTube app. Or I download a video and watch it later on PC or N8, actually I prefer watching stuff on my N8 now. I don't have to sit in the same position and sometimes I just fall asleep on my bed watching something and wake up at 5 in the morning wondering what happened. :-) Some people wouldn't watch videos on 5-inch HD displays because they are "too small" but I'm watching movies and documentaries on my phone. Well I grew up with a black & white TV so maybe it's all a matter of perspective. :-) As for documentaries, I guess you can find most of them on YouTube, also there are National Geographic and CNN apps for Symbian, so it's not too bad. I tried some internet TV app too, but it was like "first check out this advertisement and then you can maybe watch the video" so I forgot it. Nokia internet radio works great, though.
Well it's a special phone with a story and people behind it. They just don't make them like this any more, there's a new "flagship" phone every 6 months, and most of them become forgotten when an upgrade comes with more cores. With the N8 it was more like "okay, enough is enough, it does everything I need fairly well so let's stop here". I like using it too, and that's more important than what the media or whoever thinks that we "should" be using. Btw, do you have a Zedge account? Just wondering. ;-)

To all :
Sandisk ultra class 10 micro SD card was detected* (at 59.3 GB) in Nokia N8-00**, Nokia N79** and in Nokia 5320** !!!.
* means - The default file system was exFAT. I have formatted using FAT 32 formatting tool (at 4096 bytes per cluster) PC tool. It took 2 to 3 minutes.
** means - Even though the 64 GB card is usable in the above phones, you cannot format in Nokia N8-00 (you will get error) and there was no format option in Nokia N79 and Nokia 5320.
Note : I have not loaded the card full of videos and tested. Just inserted and tedted. Working.
