        [deleted post]But both Samsung WAVE + Galaxy total sales still cannot out do Iphone 4 1.7 million sales in three days rite?

        I have strong believe that one N8 alone can out do that figure in short time.

        Thanks for your constant contribution of post to increase the daily interest of this phone man!
        See, is 77% already!!
        I don't think any current Samsung devices can surpass SE X10 popularity let alone Nokia N8.

        Cheers! :)

                  Anonymous, 06 Jul 2010everytime i install apps and games in N81, it always give me an option where to install to sdc... moreRAM (Random Access Mem), is a component that stores programs that will be executed & the data this components will execute. That's the more the apps one opens the more the RAM used & the bigger the RAM the more the apps one is likely to open. A major Xtic of the RAM is that it is volatile, That's the presence of data depends on the presence of power. N8's RAM is 256mb. When u boot the phone it automaticaly consumes 121mb of the 256 & whats left is 135, which can be used for apps and games. If u open a game it might take 20mb of the 135. 135-20=115. If u open other games and apps simultaneously, it wil finnish up the 115 left and it wil give u a 'Memory full error'. If u instal apps that consume part of the RAM prior to being opened then u wil be left with very little RAM. E.g antivirus programs. Sawa

                                How did you come out with this formula of 256-135=121??

                                Afaik 256mb is referring to the RAM.
                                135mb is referring to the internal storage.
                                There is another internal mass storage of 16GB.

                                Why 256-135=121??

                                    Previous version of Symbian apps especially Symbian^1 apps should work fine but do wait for confirmation when proper a review comes out.

                                    Just to add, the battery is removable (for replacement when dead) but just not easily user removable.

                                        I'm asking this just out of curiousty that i know N8 doesn't allow removing of battery.

                                        So, suppose if the phone hangs. I know this i guess is a very rare chance. Still if it hangs. Wat can a user do? As power button doesn't work when phone hangs!

                                        And other question is will it support applications that were built for previous symbian OS?

                                        Anyone with solution?
