First of all I would like to say that I'm an N8 owner. I had this phone for about a couple of weeks and had no problems with my phone. I would like to thank Nokia for a great job they do on the phones that they develop. Ok, alot of people are not happy with their phones. Not enough RAM, battery has a short life span, OS is S.O.S. , slow processors. Bottom line is look how slim and nice this telephone is. You only can fit so much into this phone and also you want an affordable price tag? For the price, beauty, built, and specs., this phone is perfect! Sorry if you're having problems but it'll be taken care in the next firmware. Thanks again Nokia and keep up the good work.

kiran, 19 Nov 2010N8 is rough and tough but at the moment N8 has some power problems going on if you can maintai... moreiPhone is a toy. Its great for people who don't actually need a smartphone and feel lost with complex interface.
The list of downsides for power users is pretty much endless...
-transferring files to/from phone is a pain, needs iTunes & cable
-terrible notification system
-no widgets
-joke of a multitasking
-no customization options
-even setting mp3 as ringtone is a pain
-no file manager
-mail program keeps all the folders open all the time (irritates me every time)
-no 3rd party apps outside appstore (want to deploy your own business app for company phones, well..)
-bad reception
-bad speaker volume (missed calls etc.)
and so on...
I would only consider WebOS, Android, Symbian and MeeGo/Maemo as real smartphones.

Anonymous, 19 Nov 2010And most of people use windows, right? :) If you aggregate all the memory cards, pen drives, mobile phones etc... which all use fat32 then compare to the amount of people who use Windows, you'll find Windows falls behind in terms of the amount of users of fat32. Or am I just being pedantic?

Only thing that actually uses NTFS is Windows, since it is Microsoft proprietary format, but keep on trolling...

deep space bar, 19 Nov 2010it was a small amount of phones i've had mine for a few weeks now and i have no problemsPersonally haven't gotten seen any of the problems listed here on my own or friends phones. Possible that some other areas got the faulty batches, but N8 is awesome phone.
Every single phone has its problems, but so far N8 seems to have lot less than on average.

Today, my N8 kept charging after unplugging it. I tried to reset it but the power button wouldn't work. This has A LOT of problems guys. I'm glad I'm returning it this weekend. I still don't know what to get, but I'm sure anything will do better.

My goodness, the n8 is plagued with so many issues. The worst one ever of all among all phones is, it won't even turn on. How can nokia mess up on something very, very basic. Why is nokia selling dead phones? That would only mean that nokia just releases phones without even checking if they work at all. How disappointing. Nokia will be dead just like their dead phones :)

Ray Hipkiss, 19 Nov 2010 The N8 doesn't come with a memory card. But it does have 16GB of mass memory built in. There ... more"which allows you to connect a USB memory stick or pen-drive or indeed an external hard drive if you want."
if they are Fat32, i have no idea who use that fat32 anymore? If you bought extra storage usually you fill them like movies and all kind of big files so you have to change them to NTFS which support over 4 giga files.
If you go to your friend place and thinking to copying something and he's storage is NTFS you have nice problem there :)
I think this fat32 vs NTFS is not known for many people, thats why people reporting not workind extra storages with N8. Its very bad it doesnt support ntfs too, but i think its not possible right? like N8 cant support over 2 gig video files, so you have to cut hd movies to get them work, not very useful either.
