Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

[deleted post]Every phone has their own problems. Iphone4 with their antennagate issue and their new glassgate prob. Galaxy S and their lags in the early version of their software, not to mention week software support from Samsung. Bada OS and their lack of apps (although now is increasing). The x10 and their outdated android and super late Android 2.1 update. I'm just posting the probs and solutions for the n8 users here seeing how their questions are not answered for a while.

Thanks for ur valuable reply friend.
What about the user interface and other features?

This is what I was trying to say in my post, people are expecting to much from the N8 and when they compare the n8 to a high-end phone such as the Galaxy S/Iphone4, they will start to feel disappointed and claim that the phone is a failure. But to me it is a nokia success cause despite its status as a higher middle-class phone, it is comparable to MOST high-end phones. If you dont like this phone then give it a pass and wait for a better phone, nobody is forcing u to buy 1.

Know problems of the N8 so far and the solutions :
1) Slow and laggy browser
Use Opera mobile or wait for the new QT based browser.
2) No portrait keyboard:
Wait for and update or download swype from ovi store
3) Blur images
Remove the plastic film from the camera lens
4)Phone freezing
Update ur software or (if your a nokia hater) return ur phone and ask for a refund or (if you support nokia) ask for a new unit.
5) Virus has attacked the phone
Try and use a antivirus made for the s60v5, usually most s60v5 apps will work for the n8.
6) No apps
Oh come on! This phone is barely 1 month old. Cant you all wait?
7)Phone freezes while using
Hold the power button for 8 secs.
8) HDMI cable too short
Ask your nokia dealer for a longer one. Usually they will give it for free.
9) U hate this phone so much that ur now posting crap on gsmarena forum
Solution? Easy. GET LOST!

The Nokia N8 is no doubt a good phone. But after handling and testing it, it fails to impress me. As a symbian^1 owner i expected a lot from N8 but the improvements are minimal and most are just eye-candy. Good for amateur photographers i guess.

... moreoh come on....i guess u r brain washed by nokia just like iphone fans.... cant u see with ur eyes n that same old excuse of not the final version n alot of n8 owners have observed the lag n also rebooting problems n its true as symbian is laggy n i dont wanna buy a mobile which keeps on irritating me with double touches n slowness n yes i agree with u that nokia n8 is not a high end mobile but alot of 6 months old mobiles r far far better than nokia n8....forget about htc desire hd....htc desire, xperia x10,nexus one,milestone r al better than this laggy shit.
nokia n8 a big disappointment

If you actually tried a N8 in real life, u will find that it is way faster than what is shown on the video. And this video is clearly bias cause this n8 was not the final release version and the fellow always holds the N8 on his left hand in all of his comparison videos and he is clearly not a lefty. And stop pushing the n8 to compete with other high-end phones cause this is a higher middle-class phone and Nokia did not announced that the n8 was their flagship phone. Whats next? U guys gonna compare a 3310 with a iphone4/galaxy s/htc desire?

Been using the phone for sometime.
1)Browser needs to improve(now using Opera instead), portrait keyboard desperately needed.
2)Setup internet connections properly at settings>connectivity>settings>destinations to enjoy Wifi and 3g/edge seamless transitions.
3) The homescreens features and widgets are great.
4) Also saves more money in the long run if you know how to setup(email,voip,chat etc)... see point 2 to avoid operator billings.
5) Good features and good hardware.

Slower old ARM 11, hardly any RAM, a stupid file system and OS, no decent Apps, the N8, too little too late from Nokia.

Or you could simply press the on screen shutter to take pics.
Mine was blurred too... I forgot to take out the plastic sticker on the N8 lens
