wiseman8, 24 Jan 2013hi symbian fans! Confused!! Pls can someone kindly explain the major differences bw SYMBIAN &a... moreThe major differences are

1: apps. Android has lot's of them Symbian not so many.
2: Symbian has a better management of battery consumption, but in the same time there is no dual-ore device using symbian.
3: Symbian is on Nokia quality devices, Android is on every other:). this are the major ones. There are some allot others. But they are all related to the OS way of doing things.

Now, when comes to devices it is something else. So, if you want to know something else, maybe we can help

    Pranaya, 24 Jan 2013May I know the price of Battery and after how may years we need to change the same ??depending on how you use it and charge it. It can last from 1,5 years to 5 or 6. But there is a strong lesson of how to charge lithium ion battery that you maybe need to learn. You can find allot of stuff on internet. About properly usage of rechargeable batteries. Also be careful with your batteries. Some of them leak inside of the device and can cause this sudden death of the it. Hopefully you don't have this problem. But for your safe is better to take the old one, as soon as you can, out and look for any damage or leak. On ebay.de original batteries can be purchased at 10 euros, sometimes even at lower price. 7 euros. So try ebay and see what you find. Always write when you search the word ORIGINAL at the end.

      enzyke, 24 Jan 2013Thnks CaroL for your concern! yes. it never turn on since i drop it on the fLoor(maybe 1 foot)... moreThat sound strange:-?. Nokia xenon flash to break that quickly is strange, maybe it is just moved from it's place. Though, i kind of doubt that:). As for flv support, everything is fixed in belle Refresh. so, you need to update or to try reinstalling your firmware, cause i never had problems with FLV

So, if you can afford it. Buy it. Now, it doesn't have aluminum body and also is not so stylish as n8, But i think you can survive without that:).

I don't think there are to many N8 users that still uses Anna or pr1. So, i can say that is worthy, is a new Symbian experience, is something else but it is still Symbian. Allot of useless things present in ANNA are taken out, but in the same time a small part of useful stuff to, but just a small part. I'd say it is worthy, you can wait, though, for other opinions. As for belle... it is already to Refresh Version and we hope to get another release to make it even better:P.

                      IN THE MEAN TIME... TO ALL N8 USERS, there is a fix for those who have problems with old wlan routers connections. Or even for all users!http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/wlan-software-update

                          Replacing the battery for the Nokia N8 is quite simple.
                          open the 2 screws on both bottom sides of the mobile.
                          pull the bottom end straight, be careful is holds your GSM antennae and then there is a flap that holds the battery in place, lift it and then pull the plastic tongue straight in the downward motion and replace the battery. its a BL series battery. make sure that the plastic tongue is stuck onto the new battery, so its easy to remove the battery the next time over..

Then go to my folders (in messaging area) and check each subfulder for any unread messages. Then mark them read. Restart the phone. It should go.

                              This usually happens when I synchronize my main symbian phone with other 2 (not simultaneously) other synbian phones using the SWITCH feature (not available in the belle o/s).

Study the original position of all the parts before removing and during the removal process.

                                Play the battery replacement video in the laptop or PC in full screen mode and pause it after every step for you to perform the action. Since it is not that easy to replace the battery, better buy NOKIA ORIGINAL battery with warranty from Nokia and fix it. It is normal for any rechargeable battery to give less standby time when it crosses year by year (even if it is original or not). If it is original, you may get long battery life for more days compared to the duplicate ones. Thats the difference.
