Engineer Man, 07 Nov 2010Are you still using your *OLD* SIM card. One C7 owner had issues because he used his old 2004 ... moreWell the phone doesn't come with a Sim card i had to use my old one. but the problem is not with the sim card cause it still froze and turned off even without it
i didn't get too much playing around with the phone cause i only used it for less than 2 hours or so
i now simply have to return the phone for an exchange only and just hope for the best that then next one i get won't have the same problem.
extremely disappointed with Nokia, along with hundreds of other ppl....didn't expect this from a $600 CAD price phone!!

none, 07 Nov 2010Yes i've been reading everywhere on the forums and its seems that its becoming a major problem... moreAre you still using your *OLD* SIM card. One C7 owner had issues because he used his old 2004 SIM card. So he used the new SIM that came inbox with phone & everything is fine & issues can not be duplicated.
Also I know that OVI MAPS, The EMAIL CLIENT are also causing an issue which causes the phone to freeze, reboot. I'd undo every action you have taken prior to the issues.
This means uninstalling any Apps which may not be fully compatible with S^3 which were built for S^1. So uninstall OVI MAPS, UNINSTALL EMAIL CLIENT or just delete the MAILBOXES & settings for the ACCOUNTS.
Some people have returned RMA for replacement & have not experienced the problem again. So If I were you i would try some of these very quick, minor steps to find a resolution.
I hope this helps;
Cheerio :)

[deleted post]this is an N8 forum. nobody is selling 2nd hand phones here. also, if you cant afford a new N900 you shouldn't buy one. get a phone in your budget. it is also very stupid and moronic to give your emails to public forums. thought you should know.

Yes i've been reading everywhere on the forums and its seems that its becoming a major problem with the PHONE HANGING AND NOT TURNING ON...ppl have even tried removing the battery and still hasn't worked for them. It was only within in 1 hr of using the phone that it completely died on me
Here is more with ppl facing the same issue:

none, 06 Nov 2010Please note that there is something wrong with the BATTERY of the Nokia n8, which Nokia has ke... moreThe battery is very easily replaced, it only takes like a minute with the correct torx screwdriver.
I would forget Nokia care centre. What takes like an age to process & tell you rubbish.
If it were me I'd try a new battery carrying out the routine obviously very carefully so they will not notice you have replaced it.
Then if you conclude that the resultant issue is the cause & resolve has taken place, return the original battery.
Then visit Nokia & see what they do & see what nonsense they tell you to try. You can't tell them that you have replaced the battery or you have just validated your warranty eliminating any possible replacement if it turns out that the battery is not the cause.
Good luck
Cheerio :)

Please note that there is something wrong with the BATTERY of the Nokia n8, which Nokia has kept quiet about. The phone just does and dosen't charge at all. I'm also a victim of this...which now i have to send the phone back to the retailer AT MY OWN COST!!! This is truly ridiculous...i've been a Nokia fan for so long but i'll be sure that my next phone won't be a nokia!!
here is the link where alot of ppl are facing the same situation.

Think again, and do your research before going blindly based on Nokia's old reputation and purchasing this phone

Do you think that is a new feature of your Samsung wave? Wired connection still have better connectivity and resolution than wireless connection, if you really know technology you're aware of that.
But at least your samsung wave made in s.korea is better in quality than the apple phones made in china. (Note since 2008 no mobile phone was made inside USA, all overseas, mostly china & taiwan)

Nokia is one of the 26 DLNA promoter members. It is totoally different thing than HDMI. Your talk is like to say internet is a lot better than html, maybe not exact, but something like this. Check what DLNA is yourself.

The problem is most current TVs, video projectors etc. do not have DLNA support, so it isn't very useful at the moment.
Also, if you think sending HD video trough Wifi etc. is a smart way to watch a movie, let me tell you it isn't.
1. I do not believe for a second that Wave or Galaxy S have processor power to do live HD content decode and then encode it again into a DLNA stream.
2. Even if it would be possible, you still wouldn't watch a movie like that, since transferring data and decoding & encoding would kill the battery in half an hour.
