Hi everyone.
I m looking to buy a new Nokia N8, but quite confused coz it's an oldie now.
Also it's price tag is high compared to other phones which have a large screen (atleast 3.7) and ppi is less in this :210!
but i need a phone with nice touch, fluidity, reliablity, fully lag free and good battery backup(must).

So shortlisted only NOKIA brand.. and under it Lumia 710 and max i can stretch for is N8.

So folks kindly advise me which one to go for?

I really like mango os and it's fluidic nature can withstand it's limitations like no bluetooth transfer storage capacity and all..
But i need a decent battery backup i.e. 2 days with moderate use.
heard that N8's battery backup has declined with belle and some issues are also there.

Kindly throw some light, i need to decide quickly. :)

    One more thing, I hope some software expert out there develop a software or something that will use a part of Mass storage as virtual memory/storage for apps use. Just like in windows, hard disk space is used as part of memory or virtual memory.

    How about the Nokia development team. Dare to take the challenge? =)

    Good day, guys...

      Hi guys,

      I had this phone for more than a year and it is actually a great phone. Thanks to its cam and smooth OS. The transition of home pages is very fluid.

      Belle OS is a very fine OS but I was disappointed coz there are somethings I can no longer personalize unlike in the Anna OS days.

      Anyway, I have a query. My RAM keeps on shrinking at 0.3Mb to 0.4 Mb per week and I have not installed any other application except the cameraEFX from OVI store. I always clean up my call logs and messages every night before going to bed. However, when my RAM reached 91.3MB, it stopped. Meaning, it did not used up any RAM space afer that. Now, my question is, why is this happening?

      By the way, I did some Nokia Belle reinstallation about twice and restored factory settings thrice. And from 124MB it keeps on shrinking until it reaches 91.3 Mb or 92Mb.

      Thanks a lot, guys and keep your N8 even though you bought the N808 pureview monster phone.

      Good day...

                  Rolabouncer, 29 Apr 2012i dont know what's wrong with ma C-drive, anytime i install any app on mass storage...it still... moregood question to ask infact a great 1

                  its coz nokia's cutting edge technology.
                  when u install a app on any drive a part of app(its in kb's unlike other os which is in mb's) is stored in private,resource,sys ,data and system folder which is later used as 'ready to trigger' file in the ram.
                  that is the reason nokia dont need dual or quad processor

                  and faster procesor means more power(a battery drainer)

                  and dont fear coz i am havin 226 third party software still am having 87mb of free space.one more thing the c drive(which can b called ram coz it can b read and access) is not the actual ram ,u can use full c drive yet it will not slow down your mobile

                    no luck, 14 May 2012I just bought this phone . i try to download app from store but it always fail . any idea guys there is maiinly two reason according to me
                    FIRST is your gprs is slow

                    second , if your ovi store asking for the update then try updating it

                    hope it solves your problem

                    when it happens with me i simply restart my mobile and get the problm resolved

                      BABA, 14 May 2012I had a Nokia-8 mobile, but the mobile phone is not working smoothly I was asked a mobile re... morehey friend this happens when something unsupported is installed on your device, or just a software overlap

                      (1) switch on your device
                      when it gets stuck , long press the switch off(power button) till it vibrate 3 times now again start the device maybe it recovers

                      (2) if step 1 doesnt help u then

                      try the three finger hard reset
                      press and hold menu key+volume down key+camera key(dont leave the key, keep it pressed till you complete the operation)
                      now press the power button till the mobile turns on then leave only the power button voila your mobile is hard reseted

                      nothing will be formated from hard drive and memory card (thats E AND F) , but phone memory will wipe up
                      and also some preinstalled apps also gets wiped out

                      and if possible ,after all these use your pc and reinstall belle from ovi nokia updater

                          been using this phone for 2 years and i can surely say Nokia N8 was Nokia's best and still is the ultimate best Camera phone device on the market. Just sad Gameloft dont support symbian anymore....

                              have been using n8 with other phones together since december 2010. n8 is great, camera is excellent, belle app is ok, so far so good. have been following new comers. but didn't see any phone which deserves to change n8 for.

                                Bought this phone back in November 2010. Everything is still working. Minor problems like the battey life has decreased exensively meaning I'mo have to replace it soon soon and there's something wrong with my audio jack. It wont play 3-ringed gold plated pins so only computer speakers and headsets without a mic work on it.

                                Otherwise, speakers, camera, lock, volume and camera keys sill intact. I'm glad Nokia let the USB slot open. Can't imagine what it's door would've been like if it had one.

                                If ur low on unds and hinking of buying it second hand, I'mo give it the thumbs up.
