          [deleted post]Not sure whether your being sarcastic but i'll have a go anyway




          Oh you mean fake multitasking a.k.a task switching. Folders? Wow, that's so 'revolutionary'!!! airplay? we already have wifi uPnP and bluetooth with A2DP for that. And we dont need to give it a fancy name :). Fine my iphone. There are plenty of geo location software for symbian OS that does pretty much the same thing.

                            Sails, 03 Dec 2010The main point is it isn't few faulty components or something that affects few devices, Samsun... moreIf the gps was faulty from the beginning, you should have returned the the phone either for a full refund (if you not happy with the phone that is and want some other phone instead of this one again). The gps works fine on mine and a couple of other guys N8's i tried works fine too. I know it's a hassle but your phonerg gps is definitely faulty. I get a lock in a matter of seconds in offline mode and indoors too! No issues whatsoever but mind you i am advising you what you should have done as i have done the same. My first one worked perfectly. When i tested every aspect of the phone, it all just worked perfectly. The only aspect left was left to test the gps and this was on the 6th day. I took it back on the 7th day as the gps although working fine even in offline mode and indoors, began freezing and causing the phone to shutdown. I got a new one in less than a week and no hassles with returning the phone. In fact i was urged by the sp to do so. Use the replacemeot unit for like a day and found that one to be faulty but this time with just the phone itself. This time the phone was just shutting down on every occasion and eventually it reached a point were the phone didnt want to come on even though it was charged. Everything still worked but it just shutdown in the middle of something and only would come on after a few hours. I took it back the next day. Mind you i was very disappointed. I couldnt believe my luck and considering that i convinced friend to get one and he getr the good phone with no issues. I was considering some other mobile but i loved this phone. The sp took my phone and played with it and was trully amazed with it and told me that i have to try one more time. This time he'd talk to nokia. He did and i received my new phone within 2 days. My friend also also brought me back to sanity stating that after using this phone i'd never be happy with any other. He was dead right. I got the phone and behold. It is fabulous. No freezing, hanging, lagging etc whatsoever. Everything just works. Something felt different in this unit though from the other 2. It just works better from the time i put it on. Hints and tips, nokia sms's and just over-all smoothness is just better from start. I am glad i had not gone with some other phone. I to tell you the truth, after my friends talk and my sp remarks and support, i would have changed it again until i got a good unit. The last thing i want to say that nokia seem to know now about which batch is the faulty units from. My sp was confident when he handed the phone to me that this one is THE ONE. The batch number is also very close my friends. Probably from the same production day. Lastly, if anyone excepts the flaws of their mobile, then you have to live with it. Gps is not something that can always be fixed with an update. Like in your link, after knowing that the feature doesnt work, that is when you'd really miss the feature, not when you never knew about it in the 1st place. I wanted a phone that worked perfectly out of the box and i got one. Maybe 3rd time lucky but hey, thats just my bad luck. Using this unit now for 3 weeks now! Not 1 issue! Nothing! Not even 1 hint of freezing or me having to restart it. Just a piece of advice guys, test your phone properly for the 7 days. Test every feature. You not happy with the smallest feature not working, return it. I am a heavy user too so i play around with this phone alot. Anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me.

                              Awesome phone, i never loose any contacts and calendars easily sync my outlook 2007 with Ovi suite and more like photos, music and video. Camera's and video are great. Multi tasking also great while waiting to download program i can switch to another program to run. Browsing files with Files Manager no problem.

                                i love my n8 in black :), soooo cool, symbian 3 is probably the only symbian software that responds but i think it should have came with the iphone 3gs, then the apple fans would have had some competition from nokia, but now they don't cause ios4 is better than s^3, all the rest are like sleepy, i wud love to see more apps on it. almost as good as iphone, but sometimes doesnt respond :( you have to admit apple's touch, but still nice AMOLED touch

The N8 doesn't need Snapdragon or 512 MB of ram. The OS is so old that it doesn't need it. Like Windows 98 doesn't need 4 GB of ram and dual core. And like Windows 98, the N8 is good too. I highly recommend; Windows 98 and Nokia N8!

                                      Oh yeah, I forgot it's almost 2011.

                                        Dont look at the processor and RAM. Look into features and performance.
