I am not sure about N8 but if there is something for N900, stay assured that you will have it for N8, even as standard or a third party app... :)

I posted one question few days ago that has't been answered yet.
When using the music player, when you unplug the headphones does the music pause?
Because i have a n86, and when the headphones are removed accidentally, it automatically starts playing the music on the phone speaker, disturbing people arround me... The same happens when using stereo bluetooth (nokia BH214) when the battery dies or the connection is lost.
So annoying..
1-In nokia n8 does the music pause when the headphones are removed from the jack? (or close the player, or prompt user what to do, or configurable option in settings..)
2-if using the stereo bluetooth (i assume that BH214 are compatible with bluetooth 3.0) does the music pause? (or anything that prevents it to be played automatically on the phone speakers)
3-if my nokia n86 was debranded, would it have the option to auto-pause the music when headphones are disconnected? Is there any way to enable it?
I like using one device to everything (phone, mail, camera, video, gps, sports, and music) and this one is failing on the music department (because of the sound blasting through speakers automatically in some sensitive situacions)
What annoys me the most is that the solucion is so simple ...
When headphones are disconnected (bluetooth or 3.5 jack) it could pop up a dialog to just ask
"Do you want to play through the speakers now?" with the options: Yes/No/Always/Never.
It shoudn't be hard to nokia's engineers to enable this on nokia phones. Hope n8 has it.
--- Can someone give me a proper response please?

It was using the early prototype even before N8 is officially announced.
Cannot be trusted at all.

Anonymous, 08 Jul 2010voting is a useless.. so many vote it 10-10-10 and so amy as 1-1-1. No any phone deserve these... moreYea, this is why i don't trust the rate.
I only see the total number of votes.
The more votes count, the better the phone.
If it is a lousy phone, no one bother to vote at all.

It looks SOOO similar to the S60 5th edition, but I know it is just an early unit...

That's it, I'm fed up. What's the point of waiting for this phone which should have come out a year ago, when the rest of Nokia's services are in shambles? Messenger hasn't retrieved new mail in almost a week; Ovi Map ALWAYS picks the worst most congested route, OVi store can't even find Noki's own Chat app for the E71. Two years ago I would have laughed at the idea that Apple could produce a better phone for business users, but what's a communicator that can't communicate? The N8 is underpowered and memory starved from the get go. Nokia is more concerned with using up it's stock of obsolete ARMS processors and 128mb memory chips.

As per wikipedia, Symbian ^3 phones will be first to run Symbian ^4 including Nokia N8. Read here:
Symbian^4 is expected to be released in the first half of 2011.[20] Symbian^4 provides an entirely new user experience built with Qt.[21]
The first phones running the open source version of the platform will be Symbian^3 phones; one such phone, Nokia N8, has been announced.[22]

@Cindy & Jade!
Yes S^3 is still limited to aspect ratio of 640x360 so that the Os & gpu driver doesn't have to scale apps to higher ratio therefore movies & games can fit the screen natively with no upconversion scaling needed they will look good & run well...
S^4 will support 800x480 so nokias newer handsets have gpus that are faster right so the older apps may stay the same. However newer apps will then be written to the new standards for apps as native format aspect ratio 800x480.
I couldn't see the time consuming of rewriting the code for resolutions in old apps. So gpus will upscale with no problem to higher res when support is embedded, written into into S^4 Os.
Android 3.0 will be rewritten support 1280x720 res screens tocompete with win mob & other tablet Os's.

abhi, 08 Jul 2010i jus wanna know how is its touch........is it smooth as xperia x10 and does the phone hang...... moreit's hard to tell if it can match xperia x10 with its "smoothness"/speed (whatever you call it).. the OS difference didn't help. so it's really on the buyer's preference.
repent?? to whom?=)
