I've always had N series and never had a problem wit any. I've sold phones for 4 years, sometimes i wonder what you people are doing to have probs with your phones. My N8 gets 4 days battery life EASILY. Why because i have a brain and charge it optimally the first 3 cycles. To the guy asking about cases, i got a soft pouch from www.nokian8cases.co.uk although you can get armoured type ones instead if you're worried about dropping it.

Ali Raza, 04 Nov 2010I have got my n8 on 21 october..still now no hang....i dont know why people are saying hanging... morePeople have hanging or restarting or dying problem most likely because of installing software not tested for Symbian 3. Those software applications just break the operating system on N8. I have told here many times not do so.
The S60V5 software may overwrite some system interfaces that leaks memory or busy loop cpu and eventually makes the phone not work properly.

If you do hard reset yourself, you will lose preinstalled software. But there is a workaround, you can install them back. Nokia forum has a post about it. You have to learn how to do things.

If it happens repeatedly I would advise you to get it replaced as It would be a defected one, I think the issue with the battery itself not the unit.
Flash player is coming to Iphone 4 that's what I heard lately but when? I really don't know for sure.

Anonymous, 04 Nov 2010so there's gonna be free third party apps or by nokia is that what your saying? and is it true... moreyes, Navigation (with voice guided feature) is free on all Nokia phones.
the best thing with Nokia is that they changed their strategy and now they will provide updated operating system soon for N8/C7/E7/C6-01 users with new utilities and software such as OVI browser/music player etc..

if you need ... moreYes that was a useful reply. now I hear some app called sktfire is going to bring full flash support in iphone. Heard this app will encode flash to html5. Now that becomes another big reason to go for iphone. My friends say Flash support was what iphone sorely missed.
Also forgot to mention that my n8 is restarting by itself at times or not coming back to life at all without me restarting. I have the latest firmware downloaded from nokia site.

if you need BT3/FreeNAV/12MP/Xenon/video/USBOTG/HDMI then stay with N8 (it will get updated soon to S4 with new UI)
if you want gaming/load-of-apps/net-surfing/fast-CPU/UI then buy IPhone 4.

After watching a... moreOh, nice try for trolling, but too many mistakes to actually pass.
For example, if you had actually seen the N8 and iPhone 4 screens next to each other, you could notice that N8 looks lot better and more vivid (no surprise since its AMOLED). Exactly opposite that you were saying.
Also for example comparing NFS Shift, that is available to both platforms, they look and perform the same. The Android version is actually the one that isn't quite up to the par. Once again the AMOLED makes N8 version seem more colorful than iPhone though.
