Carol, 07 Sep 2013Nothing will be changed in your phone. So everything you do now, you will always be able to do... moreThanks for your reply. Seems to me then, I had better grab whatever I can get from the store now since I am not sure what will be available in the future. It's a relief to know that the N8 will continue to serve me because I have NO intentions of replacing it if it is fully functional. Good to know that whatever I put in it will continue to work until it dies of natural causes - that's enough for me.

Carol, 07 Sep 2013Nothing will be changed in your phone. So everything you do now, you will always be able to do... moreI'm hoping the Store will stay because they still need it for S40, but I don't hope for many updates. Recently they started allowing new themes only from a few selected makers and the rest got a 'goodbye' email.
Maps... Steve from AllAboutSymbian said he plans to make a map database to put on his website, and invited people to send him maps from their phones/countries, but so far it's just an idea. But if the maps are some day no longer officially available from Nokia - at least it's a plan.

So everything you do now, you will always be able to do. Maybe store will be shut down at some point. That i don't know, so you will need to have allot of cracked apps. As for maps, this is a thing i always wandered, if i bought a phone with life time maps free updates, but now Nokia is no more, who will give a ... about us and our symbian's? This a question Nokia has to answer. Anyway, i don't think i will be having my n8 till 2016...

i just love n8, i m using nokia since 2002 and its very sad they killed symbian. And if the nokia bosses have brains they should have opt for android and not windows. Nokia with symbian was the best. But now its all over guys....love nokia love symbian..... :(

This Nokia N8 will be my last Nokia, as the things I need are unavailable on Nokia's now.
I can't get any BBC I-Players to work on my Nokia N-8, or any of the applications I need.
I think they made a big mistake going with Microsoft, & an even bigger mistake not using the Android Platform.
I tried Windows 8 on a PC, it was as bad as Vista, which was also crap.

Funny enough, I just found out used n8 are nearly as cheap as the other symbian 3 phones. Hehe.
Too bad mobilefun's N8 case with a built in charger is discontinued. Would have been a huge help.

Is there any player softwere that will ... moreDefault video player is the best, so there's not much to do except try to get compatible videos. Most YouTube downloaders will give you an option to download 360p mp4 which is perfect for this display. Even HD videos can be played, but not all...

They stopped making it even before this move, but there is still support until 2016, Nokia Store, various websites etc. Symbian is maintained by a company called Accenture which isn't owned by Nokia or Microsoft. There will be not many new apps or big updates, but if you really like this phone get it while you still can.

Comparing to wp Symbian phone is much better because no java in wp phones.u need java when you download something directly from browser so be careful about wp.my opinion is Symbian OS phone are much more better than wp.

mykrosop mapet, 06 Sep 2013I'm looking for a symbian 3 phone. How does this compare to nokia 701 performance (not the cam... moreThere is a comparison between N8 and 701 a few pages down. Generally the 701 is more modern (Belle Fp2), faster (processor and RAM), brighter display (better in sunlight), has removable battery and dual LED which can be used as a torch. But the camera is worse, some small features are different and it looks more like a woman's phone. :-) I don't jump into trends either, this is my first touch screen and I got it 6 months ago. A couple of years ago I was still using a flip phone, and I was happy with it. :-)

Anonymous, 06 Sep 2013Hi friends, can u plz suggest an application for video calling except Fring. Hi,
There's not much else. Maybe Movicha (http://www.movicha.com/symbian.html) or Octrotalk (in Nokia Store) but they say they don't work too well.

So much doom and gloom and morose thoughts – and Pain. I feel as if I've lost a beloved, trusted, sturdy, reliable and capable friend. That is what the N8 is to me and it really pains because it is not like losing your car keys because you always have a spare for that. Why did Nokia have to do this terrible thing? With one stroke of the pen it has brought so much depression to N8 fans, so much uncertainty about its replacement. But not to worry, when one door closes, another opens. The competition will be so stiff among the giants that I think soon, there will be so many new models to choose from, it will have us dizzy.
Since Wednesday when I read about the deal between Nokia and MS, I think I’ve lost ten pounds worrying what will happen to the contents of my phone. Will all the apps go dead when they finally pull the plug off from the life support system, supposedly in 2016? Anyone can tell me what will happen? Is it that I will be able to only make calls and texts on my N8? Because I would not like to know that I should have just remained with my old 6230i. I think that well, at least the camera will be fully functional

I'm looking for a symbian 3 phone. How does this compare to nokia 701 performance (not the camera)? 808 is too expensive.
I don't jump into trends. Used a 3230 during touchscreen era and n78 during symbian 3 era.

Guys, you are all aware that this is an old phone so your only choice is other peoples' cfw. If you are worried about the lack of apps, just get a mini tablet from the competition. Nokia and an ipod/android tab is cheaper than an iphone.
