Well, No LED light is a real setback in N8 :( compared to the other mobiles with LED light, They are absolutely capable of taking videos in the dark! Why couldn't Nokia give another LED light, that would have made N8 Invincible. Also since LED is not there I guess the torch light apps are useless on N8, right? or is there some app in N8 that works as a torch light? if it is there, how does it work, , if there is no LED in the N8?

Hi N8 owners, Are the Apps on Ovi free? or do we have to purchase them?
Also if I use the xenon flash very often, I mean if I take some 50-100 pictures in a day, will my battery last for something like just a day?
If I have to take videos in the dark, is it possible with N8? since there is no LED light, will I not be able to take videos in no light or very less light or in the dark with N8? :(
Please Proud N8 Owners tell me your experience on the above questions. I really wanna buy a N8 , but know I am having second thoughts because of the above questions. Thanx to everyone who answers my queries in advance.

Love N8 but, 22 Oct 2010Hey Mac, Thanks for the Awesome Response!!!! Now I love only N8 and am going for it!!! Yeah ... moreNo problem. Between the 2, the N8 would gather more developers now due to nokias latest statement on your os being updated to the newer symbian ^4 as the developments come out. Your phone os will just get better with time and it now makes sense why they put it into a anodised casing, it was meant to last forever!! Anyway, i'm glad i helped and good luck.

No free good apps in ovi store :(, and some apps are like crap they hang your phone so beware while downloading any free app from ovi store.

How many apps are live including your email? Please also ensure when your phone is idle that you close apps on your multitask window. Having live widgets and having the very same app open serves no purpose and just drains battery. Its similar to having the app open twice. Another thing you can do is install Y-tasks from ovi to monitor open apps that drain battery. The other thing is install Netqin's M-Gaurd. Use this to force close certain hidden apps that add no value to you having them open. If you need those apps again then just open the app again. Toggle between this to manage your phone battery. How long did you charge your battery for on its 1st charge? That would prove critical to your batteries hereforth performance. If it wasnt uninterupted and continuos then that would hinder good battery performance. It is like burning in the batteries total max charge level capability for each charge. Your battery may hence reflect fully charged on the screen but would just drain out fast. Lastly scan for viruses if you have an anti-virus and by the way, if you are browsing alot with your phone with those emails and widgets still running, playing games, and using the power hungry zenon flash too often, then expect power drainage rather quickly.

They just took the android code, changed it a bit and renamed it! Did that so they wont be sued when they abandon android. But knowing samsung, they will just use android to develop their bada os even further. As i said before, they like leaches!! Now bada has come up so that when things go bad with android, they have something to fall back on. Things may just go bad with android and oracle sooner than we think. If that happens then sammy will have bada to milk for all its worth until the os becomes old due to lack of development as a result of probably googles lawsuits etc.

Anonymous, 22 Oct 2010I don't care about number of apps, but User Interface. U dun care, uh? But i do. What good is a OS with wery apps, imagine symbian, iOS, android and windows mobile 7 like that? To me the Bada OS user interface is not my liking (cause it looks alot like android).
