Andy, 18 Apr 2012This N8 is a premier phone if you have Anna 25 software in it. I tried pre PR, PR 1.1, PR1.2, ... moreDid the same 1 month ago and I am happy with a functional Anna N8. Just use Google to see Belle bugs , do not fool newbies if you're just making calls or impressed with i-look of Belle. See Nokia Discussion forum. I will also help anyone who wants to downgrade to Anna, cause you deserve a functional device.

If you will downgrade belle to anna, you will loose your waranty.
Let me tell you how to use your phone as computer. At your home, you may be having a tv, sdtv or hdtv, it can be connected to both. It will become your monitor. Now you need keyboard and mouse. Buy a usb hub. Connect with on the go usb port. Now you have 4 usb ports. Connect usb keyboard, usb mouse and pen drive. You can also connect with bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse but they are costly. Now your computer is ready. The only weakness is browser, download opera mobile browser. You should be smiling now. You can open any mobile site and even desktop sites. The only weakness in opera, it is not supporting flash. You can use original broswer for that. Now you can edit word and excel files in it. You can make your resume, write a letter. As far as video calling is concerned, you can watch caller in your tv screen. You can watch youtube videos on your tv. I am watching comedy circus. It is fun. As on today, even second generation phones have come, but there is no match of this. There is no substitute. Even nokia 808 perview is not as good as n8. You never know tomorrow. N8 with anna. Fantastic. Gr8 phone.

AnonD-51348, 20 Apr 2012Hi Andy.. Can you please share the links of the software's your are talking about.
1. Navifir... moreDear Dip88,
I think it will void your warranty. Try to go Nokia care centre and ask them to do. They refused to me and said it can not be downgraded. Then my warranty expired. I managed with the help google search. You can do also. Ashok Soni a great person, he has developed delight belle v5.2. Custom sotware for this phone. On his site there are needed files they will explain how to install. All these files are zip. You need .7z unzipper less than 1 mb. Ashok soni's needed files are also small 1 mb. But make sure download his delight belle v5.2. In case your phone is broke. This software will give life to your phone. Try to found navifirm 1.5.2 and phoenix cracked 2012 on google. This is not small thing. You have to work hard. Once you know then it is easy. I downloaded delight belle all files and phoenix on my n8, then I transferred to my computer. Make sure download one file and then transfer to desktop or laptop. Earlier it was a hassle for me, but now it is small thing. Go ahead as if you want or stay if you want. Because news are coming their will be belle feature pack in last of june. I am adventures kind of peoole. I can not stay and wait, because you never know again nokia will increase the date.

N8 is super multimedia phone, provides a real satisfaction for pc-mobile users; therefore you can easily communicate via cable and fortunately feel free & comfortable when transmitting files in/unto mobile... with the last symbian Belle for N8 provides with the full usage of the phone with fixing all errors that were in the basic symbian. I strongly recommend this phone.. btw under experience, my N8 had been hit the ground with several times, but no interruption or failure occured ;) Cheers to Nokia

Elie, 19 Apr 2012as a Nokia user since 2006, I can guarantee that N8 is the best device of calling a person can... moreYou are absolutely right!!! Finally some things have to clear up! Let the show begin.......
Enough of black propaganda, the imperfect knowledge, the irrelevance of certain journalists and readers. Enough is enough! I bet that even if Nokia put its mark on iph or android device immediately all the great scientists, experts and the "yellow press" will rush to send it to Tartarus!
With big disappointment i've note that a lot of people deifies devices and considering them very good because they can play ungry birds, download games and videos,order pizza, find the nearest fast food, because they are 1000-core, no matter if it sounds worse than a $ 50! cell phone with no signal when it rains, hear nothing when a bus passes near them,dont hear the loudspeaker and much more.
For God's sake, a mobile phone it is good because of its nursery-level applications, breaks down if a strong wind blows and xploads when it gets in an airplane! (and perhaps vomits)
None of you read the news and reviews of gsm _arena or do you pretend that you dont see and mostly dont HEAR??? I guess the second. More than 20 patents stolen. Look around you great scientists how many N73, N95, N958g, are circulating at this moment since 1997. By the way, where is now the first droidapple?? where are you hiding guys??. Now they've found the dual antenna, a patent that was in N73music edition since 1996 please!!!
For these topics, moreover, the gsm-arena 2 has specific chapters for each mobile phone that shows but none of you have the culture to read them.
Please get involved with your fake chinese gadgets and toys (which cost more than 600$) and do not bother with Nokia and mostly with N8 because you become funny.
Finally, i had to say a big "i-droid" bravo to a big portion of the press in the media and the "yellow press" for the black propaganda, you are really remarkable how you manipulate the mass (unfortunately, mostly young people).
Trully a big thank to gsm_arena, i appreciate the work you do.

19 April, 2012
Clove has the midrange Xperia P up for pre-order for £330, while Expansys will have it for slightly more at £339.
The aluminum body houses a dual-core 1 GHz processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 4-inch 540 x 960 pixel resolution screen. It's also features NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and an 8MP shooter capable of 1080p video recording.
If you live in the UK and know of other retailers getting ready to ship this phone, let us know in the comments.

When 8 mp camera can do video recording of 1080p, then why nokia n8 12 mp camera can do 1080p recording. I think nokia should do something in belle feature pack. Otherwise company is already in loss, you never know anytime there would be lock on nokia. But n8 is still excellent phone, top of the line in the world. It was nokia's strategy to release belle made nokia in loss. Belle was never a software for n8. It was for 2nd generation phones with some shortcomings. Anyways, let us wait and watch, how the matter will come out.

Competition pushes Nokia into losses
4 hours ago
Mobile phone company Nokia has reported a net loss of 929m euros ($1.2bn; £761m) in the first three months of 2012, following a profit warning earlier this month.
The loss compares with a profit of 344m euros in the same period of 2011.
Nokia warned on 11 April that it would make losses in the first two quarters.
The Finnish company said competition in the industry had led to lower sales, particularly in India, the Middle East, Africa and China.
The losses were worse than had been expected, even after the profits warning.
Nokia's Windows smartphones have been struggling to compete with competition from the likes of Apple and Samsung.
Nokia's chief executive Stephen Elop said he was pleased with the awards and acclaim for the company's Lumia devices, but added: "The actual sales results have been mixed."
"We have faced greater than expected competitive challenges," he added.
Mr Elop said that he would be trying to implement his new strategy more quickly.
He promised to announce extensive further cost-cutting measures soon.
The company also said it was restructuring its sales team and that Colin Giles, executive vice-president of sales, would be leaving the company at the end of June.
Nokia's net sales fell to 7.35bn euros in the quarter, down 29% from the same period last year.

Stop deceiving each other by something which is not there. if you want to see the power of Technology on Smartphone tune to HTC,Iphone and Samsung Galaxy s,s2,s3. you will definitely be amazed. N8 is good only on Camera & Battery apart from that is awful. nothing interesting on Ovi. make a research before buying a phone... people's opinion can mislead at times...

as a Nokia user since 2006, I can guarantee that N8 is the best device of calling a person can ever have.
ofcourse Nokia has been known for its call quality which you can't find in any other mobile.
with N8, you can have the same good quality of a mobile plus a great device for taking photos and videos.
for those who criticize the processor, N8 is still a mobile, if you want a better processor, go buy yourself an ipod.

No way samsung or any other phone camera better than N8. Some phones have better screens so the photos may look better than on the n8 screens. The N8 is great.
