        [deleted post]Why is it predjudice? I work with these handsets on a daily basis, I think it would give me suitable grounds to pass on my opinion. These have been, without a doubt a very troublesome handset and it is mainly due to the software. Sorry but Nokia just can't seem to get this right. Admittely the hardware on paper is very good and competeive but if these were to run Android they would be a much better all round phone.

          MrDroid, 11 Nov 2010I work as a technical advisor, we have trouble with these by the bucket load, you must be one ... moreReally and i also heard if the N8 is made in Finland you probably are lucky and if it is made in China you will encounter issues.
          Is this true or is it just a made up rumor?
          Mine is made in Finland.

              Why are some people flaming the N8?
              Probably they don't own 1.
              I bought and it and i just love it no problems (yet) nog lag and it works fine.
              Why people say it is outdated?
              The hardware is enough for Symbian because it is a light OS.
              The reaction is fast and multitouch is smooth and sensitive.
              So people try it first before you start flaming and hating. it says more about you guys.

                    The hardware on this handset is enough to rival any smartphone currently on the UK market. My main issue with this handset is that Nokia are persisting with the Symbian software. I realise that it is a new version symbian 3, but it is truely dreadful. It has issues like no other software currently being used on smartphones. If the N97 was not an example of why to outsource the software I can't see Nokia ever learning from this. I guess to conclude, nokia are losing customers at a vast rate, turn to Android and this would be a competitive handset, till then avoid at all costs.

                      mohd, 11 Nov 2010when i connect the usb it gives me that its not supported can any one tell me why? thxUr pendrive must be formated to FAT or FAT32 format not NTFS. Also make sure ur pendrive is a plug and play type cause some pendrives require u to install drivers which is obviously not supported by the n8

                          what impressed me most is the 12 mp camera and the sleek design.

                              [deleted post]I understand you dude, great cause it keeps the phone cheaper and cooler.... but the weird thing is, the N8 runs faster than your expensive phone.
                              Maybe logically a phone has to expensive to be better... but it great for us consumers that Nokia is providing a fully featured, fast and great UI for cheaper price. Granted the browser and keyboard needs improvements.
                              Yesss dude it's easier to use than "the" iOS(wooohhaaa) ... ask any neutral feeling iPhone user who has used both N8 and iOS. I should know better cause I know 20 iphone users... some asking me questions on how to use their phone, some don't know us email and some carrying a second phone.
