anybody want's to post his/hers bet n8 apps?
Here are my best and useful ones.
1. Smartphoneware Best TaskMan 3.0 (latest version, a bit tricky but the best for killing processes)
2. Nokia Energy Profiler v1.26 (also a bit tricky, but after you learn it, you can measure your power consumption for a period of time)
3. Notre Monde vLight v3.0.0 (since we don't have led flash and xenon flash is not for torch, this is the best screen torch app their is, easy and useful and with no adds)
4. LonelyCatGames X-plore v1.58 (now, i tried allot of file manager apps out there, nothing is as good as this one, the best file manager for symbian, highly recommended)
5. Smartphoneware Best Birthday v2.02 (latest, if you have contacts with birthdays, this is the best app for managing them as you please, from deleting to setting alarms and calendar reminders)
6. SmartEQ v1.3 (if you need a more control of your music player equalizer, this is a very good one)
7. Alexander Fokin Music stop v1.0( if you want to sleep with your phone playing some music, this is good for closing the music player or your radio after a time set by you, useful sometimes:)
8. Snakesoft Close All Apps (quite useful and it's free, closes all open apps with one click, no confirmation no nothing)
9. Belle extra buttons (highly customizable program, very useful, recommended)
10. Thumbnail Folders ( a small app, but a super idea, it will change your folder appearance with small icons from your apps that are installed in it)
11. Alexander Fokin PopUp hider (a super app, that will kill your annoying notifications like: missed calls, messages and voice messages. You will have them only on your top bar, so no more popup annoying screen)
12. Ilko Tsenov myExplorer (another supper app that uses your network to copy files from/to your computer, shortly: it is a file share app, and i can say it is among the best that uses your network)
13. Nokia chat ( this is a simple chat app that uses for services: Nokia Chat, Windows messenger, g-talk and yahoo, it is free and and easy to use. i can say it is one of the best chat apps)
14. Fmobi (one of the best facebook apps, for the fans)
15. Fring (nice little program doing what skype does for others, yes: videocalling for free via wlan, and it's free to)
16. D13 date widget (it is a small widget that tells you what day is today, it is very useful for people who don't like the big calendar widget, neither the clock widget, so without this 2 is a longer processes to find out what day is today, this small widget solves this problem:P)
Now, for the games i like:
king odd ball, azkend 2, avatar, clever driver, contre jour, Sparkle, Asphalt 6, Assassins creed, Block breaker 3 Unlimited, Dungeon HUnter, fruit ninja, i must run, need for speed shift, shrek kart,
The Maribans, throw the knife, transformers: dark of the moon. Zombie blitz (a small jar app, not so impressive as plants vs zombies but can keep you for hours curious:)) Heroes-Of-Kalevala... all made with good graphics no slowdowns.

AnonD-104880, 27 Jan 2013oh i see. thanks for your repLy. can i ask another question? is the BeLLe Refresh is much bett... moreHey, Belle Refresh has more Widget's and some new UI, in some places and has some bug fixes. If there is a performance boost... i don't know. I didn't noticed big differences. Maybe someone else can help you in this matter. As for formating... it is not necessary. But i recommend that 100%. And minding your memory status i will highly recommend this. This can be a fix for allot of problems. And will maybe fix yours to (not the xenon flash one). So if you decide to format: first backup and copy only important data from your phone( pics, contacts, messages, or whatever you will like to keep from mass memory... no settings and no apps). Now hit dial/*#7370#/confirm the security code (if you have one). And your phone will restart. The process will take from 3 to 10 minutes, in the mean time you will be able to see only NOKIA logo, so don't panic. This process will format mass memory and will delete and restore factory settings and apps. After this, you can update to belle refresh. I would flash the firmware with phoenix. But this is some other story...

allnokia, 26 Jan 2013I choose 701. I have digital camera for photography. I want speed and fast responses. I know ... moreSound quality is good, the headphones are not top of the line:). As i was saying, 701 is faster and newer but lacks some premium accessories. You can try original WH-701 headphones from Nokia, are quite good. But not so long lasting (mine lived for only 6 months). But for the price on ebay, are good:P.

I know that n8 is a masterpiece. But in our city n8 is not available now, Nokia 700 comes with smaller screen. That's why I bought 701 yesterday.( one thing: sound quality is not good via headphone)Thanks for your interest.

RAM: 256 N8, vs. 512 701
ROM: 512 N8 vs. 1024 701
Internal memory: 16gb N8 vs 8Gb 701.
Both support micro-sd card
So, n8 has advantages while 701 also has advantages to. :). For speed and slimness: pic 701... for a more premium package, camera, functionality (it has hdmi) and space available space: n8...
Now, it is your choice. Both are good devices.

allnokia, 25 Jan 2013please anybody tell me which should i buy? Nokia n8 or Nokia 701..I've limited budget.(I'm not... moreHey, if you are not into camera and you are shore of that. Go for 701 without problems, 700 is to small, is more for girls not interested in big screens. N8 is a masterpiece. But let's not forget that it is old. 701 is faster and support fp2 of belle.
Hardware:
n8 aluminium body - 701: hard plastic with steel battery cover (here i would say that n8 is a winner, but 701 is quite resistant to so i give 9 to n8 and 8 to 701)
Same corning gorilla glass it's a tie!
Battery, is better on 701. it is the same symbian and we cannot say that the mAh don't count now. 1200 n8 vs 1300 701 (i also get to test it often, and yes, it is better then my n8:( )
Display: Amoled Vs. LCD with clear black technology. 701 is brighter but n8 has vibrant colors. For me Amoled display is better... i don't know what other would say.. So here, i give a point for n8.
Camera: doesn't matter, anyway N8 is in front of 701 (though, 701 doesn't make bad pics quite at all, it lack's auto-focus... either way, it is not such an advanced camera as the n8)
processor: 680 n8 vs. 1300 701(after belle fp2 update)
Gpu : Nokia N8 uses a Broadcom with 32 mb while 701 uses Broadcom with 128 mb.
Call quality: the same
Functionality (usb, on the go, fm transmitter, hdmi). Almost the same, 701 lacks hdmi and the calbes don't come in original pack. Also, low quality headphones you will receive with it. So the n8 is well is equipped at this part. You can also look at N8 unboxing and 701 unboxing. you will see the difference.
Now, i don't know if i left something out, but from here... it is your decision:).
