AnonD-20890, 01 Mar 2013I think only Nokia phones have dedicated camera key. I also have Nokia DC-16 external batte... moreNope, Sony and former Sony Ericson, have phone with camera dedicated button. And i think there are others to. As for symbian belle/nokia belle... of course is the same:). Nokia bought Symbian in 2008 so they could name it what so ever. So, yes, it is still Symbian just had it's name changed. This could have been a good strategy when belle was first release, but now, i don't see the point in renaming it, anymore...

AnonD-32253, 01 Mar 2013hey guys im planning to buy a new fone which 1 should i buy n8 or 808 pv plz suggest me ... moreIf you have enough money and want the best camera out there. Go for 808. If that bump bothers you and you don't have so much money, and you are also satisfied with the second best camera:). then go for N8.

Carol, 28 Feb 2013I think you got me wrong, of course the n8 doesn't have 3000mA batteey, it has only 1200mA
. ... moreI think only Nokia phones have dedicated camera key.
I also have Nokia DC-16 external battery (2100 mA) so that I can charge my mobile after its charge comes to 10% when I am outside.
If the battery capacity is increased, it will become impossible to charge with Nokia DC-16 !!!.
I feel no difference between Nokia belle and Symbian o/s. Same text size, same options. I think since Symbian is opensource, Nokia has changed the o/s name (like we can customize the LINUX o/s in case of PC).

. I said that n8 should have a bigger battery (3000mA), so to be a fair comparision between 1280 and it. Now, i really think that in the battery pack of the n8, could be staffed another 300mA so to have 1500mA. This wouldn't make the battery way bigger so it will fit the case with no problems. Now, about symbian, yes nokia should still produce it. But maybe windows is more cheeper to use then symbian:(. If hou like android and yoi want dedicated cameea button, you can try sony z, but after i saw the pics, it's 13 megapixels are no way near the n8:))

It is because of the good handsets by Nokia that I didn't sell the previous handsets.
Nokia must continue making SYMBIAN mobiles with good configurations as none of the samsung phones have a DEDICATED CAMERA KEY with which one can use autofocus to predict whether a picture will be clear or not. In samsung, it can be said only after taking the picture.

Here we talk about a smartphone with a big digitizer powered by 2 processors: the cpu and the gpu. Now, Nokia 1280 is just a simple phone. that kind of phone can last 2 weeks if not used. A phone like that with 800mA battery is a powerhorse. The N8 should have 3000mA for you to compare them in this manner.
Now, nokia n79 boosts an 1200mA battery. Just like the N8. Yes they are both smarts that need to consume battery just to hold the system up. But, even though, the N8 was made with an incredible battery efficient hardware for a touch screen, it still cannot be compared with n79 simply cause a touch requires more energy then a button. As for the other two, to tell you the truth, i'm kind of surprised that 5320 lasted so much... with that small battery. Must have been the ancestor of the N8 or something:)). So, your phone is ok, mine doesn't last 3 days since anna waas in vogue:))

I am not worrying. Just informed you about the battery life of my phone. My Nokia 1280's battery lasts for 5 to 7 days (always in silent mode with active SIM in strong coverage area) !!!.
My first mobile with autofocus - Nokia N79 lasts for 3 to 5 days (always in silent mode with active SIM in strong coverage area) with original battery that came with the handset when it was bought in Feb 2010 and also tested with a battery from a BEST unbranded company !!!.
My second 3G phone (after Nokia E51) Nokia 5320 battery comes 2 to 4 days (always in silent mode with active SIM in strong coverage area). I keep alarm in it Monday to Saturday.
I am not boasting / showing off. Just told you about my experience with 4 Nokia phones (1280, 5320 expressmusic, N79 and N8-00).

With or without that milion devices in the world. Now i know all that, you think i don't know?:)). But facts are facts. And is not Nokia who keeps symbian alive. It is Accenture, nokia outsorced symbian to accenture since 2011. So, we're for a long time now on Accenture covarage. Now, in germany even the devices are starting to fade. In stors they we're long time gone. And now, it's hard to find a new one online to. 701, 603( i never saw 603 in stores) and n8 are getting hard to find and becoming expensive to. What that means? No more production. Another step into saying farewell to our system. Ok, not that our phones will die or something. But old will become older and at a point we will all have to move to other platforms...

Just use it, my friend and stop being obsesed about it. I'd say that 3 days is mormal with that usage. Also, battery monitor is not good, i've toled you once. Allot of times it gets false readings. Now, just uninstall battery monitor. Use the phone without worring every 10 min of your battery and let's see if it worries you anymore. I've obeserved that after i format my phone. Sudently feels lasting longer. But that is because i don't know thepercentage of my battery. As soon as i install belle extra buttons, i start to look every 10 min. To see the state of the battery. Thing that makesit worse, cause will just consume more then in a normal usage:)). Crazy isn'tit. So i'd say is ok. If you think that your battery is not working properly, just let it deplete to 0% (the point when it sais that you're low on battery) then plug it in and live it half a day to charge. Do this 2 or 3 times. See if it get's more stabilized.

Carol, 26 Feb 2013Yes, count me in the list. I prefer symbian over anything. But right now... It is slowely dyin... moreAll Symbian phones, especially those running on excelent Belle FP-1, FP-2, and Bele Refresh, are equal to all other phones in the market. In fact there are some features and functions in Belle that are not exist in other OSes (you know that).
With Belle, all Symbian phones are feel like brand new. They are still very much alive now. I can feel the magic and the magnificent of N8, 808, and 701.
I read somewhere that more than 100 millions Symbian phones are still operating world wide. So Nokia has to keep its promise and obliged by a moral responsibility to mantain Symbian until 2016. Beyond that I think Symbian phones are still functioning well (because Nokia's phone are so durable and has an excelent built quality).
My good old E71 with S60 is still rock today. I even know a poor lady who is still using her 12 years old Nokia 3310 (and this stone age Nokia still working). UNBELIEVABLE ! No problem friend, don't worry, be happy, Enjoy our life.
