ozee, 28 Feb 2012i can't still upgrade to nokia belle os,pls when will it be available for us in nigeriaAm from Nigeria. I got my Belle update alert on d same day it was officialy released and I did d update seamlessly d next day. Do you mean u can't see update alert wen u click software updater on your phone?? If u see it, then, download d latest nokia suite (not Nokia PC suite) using your windows computer. Connet your phone, click d software update sign on d nokia suite page and follow d direction. If you had used any security lock for your SIM, you may be required to provide your PUK no. Belle is d best!!!!

To all Nokia lover, you know why so many hates bout Nokia? Coz they're jealous, they want the capability of Nokia phone right there on their phone. But it never happen, except on their dream. So they vent their resentment by bashing every Nokias product, Coz that would diminish their disappointment a little. I've try other phone product but never used it more than two months, coz poor battery backup and camera. You know what's phone I mean right? Not to mention free lifetime GPS and other advantage. So Nokia user, just be proud of. Or if you need more apps, feel free to choose unlaggy windows phone. So exited what Apollo would bring, as Nokia mention it would be full feature including almost desktop capable office, better camera (n8 or pure view camera anyone?), and better UI.

I have had the Nokia N8 for a year, i LOVE it, & i'm a mobile junkie, always upgrading, but i can't upgrade, as these phones are the best!!!!! Better than Apple iphone as you cannot add any music thats not from itunes, bad iphones! And very fragile i heard also...At my mobile company, i asked about upgrading, but they said there is nothing better out there! (never heard a sales rep say that!!) He called the Nokia N8 the iPhone of Nokia. Go N8!!! :-)))))

People, please. Cant we alljust get along and respect the opinion of others, even those we know talk pure ****** about the N8? Sure, say I admire every move Nokia makes. Just got a 701 for a family member and its pure satisfaction. Nokia is still a great phone maker. As far as Im concerned N8 is the best until 808 comes ou.

I have been using N8 since day one and i have been through all the Symbian updates. It is honestly really ironic that N8 today is much more appealing than it was 1,5 years ago, because Belle makes it a really "Swiss knife" type of phone. It is a really good phone and Belle's stability only adds to the overall experience. This is a phone that does pretty much everything pretty well. Of course it doesn't have dual or quad core CPU but lets be honest do you need that? One more important factor, i have not used any covers and the silver N8 still looks very good and has only some minor scratches on it. Therefore i would say that Nokia phones preserve their looks pretty well. Sincerely, at one time i was considering to go along the Android bandwagon, but now, i'm not so sure and im not in a hurry, since N8 is almost perfect.

Can N8 Users who are using 3 Mobile Network give me there experience on the call quality they are getting.
A friend usin N8 on Symbian Belle is getting tinny sound quality when speaking to me on call (I am using Sony Ericssson Xperia Play on Gingerbread).
If I ring a friend who uses htc wildfire With 3 i have no problems. If I put other than 3 sim in my phone and ring my friends N8 then no problem or if I ring 3 to his phone with orange no problem.
The N8 has gone in for repair with carphone warehouse.

Listen folks! Whatever OS you may prefer , Nokia N8 has d best overall specs u can define in anyone's xpectations. That's my view nd I'm not asking fr any opinions. That said, I declare it the best multispecs phone available. Now , why I havn't updated to BELLE inspite of fans cravering fr it ? I watched nd found d flaw of nokia music store free access problem. I love Nokia / the Symbian platform for its, simplicity of operation, its reliability , its free offers (select) of great applications. With one of my greatest incentives being the free navigation software, I just cannot imagine why Nokia could not apply a smooth transition into accessing users's limited access to unlimited nokia music as that is what I consider the 2nd most important USP of NOKIA Store as long as they offer them at 256kbps.
Thank U NOKIA for making yourself a part of my life but find an answer so I can update and be as always .... HAPPY with NOKIA !!!

Erratum. Apologies to the moderator, my comment was not in agreement to Netz but to anonymous who posted a detailed description of his problem with the symbian belle. here is a copy of my complaint to nokia. Please. No Name calling. Here it goes:
In addition to the previous issues i've brought up with you, the belle "upgrade" seems to bring more problems than make it an enhanced experience.
first, i noticed that upon pressing the "messaging" shortcut, it takes me to the messages themselves and couldn't find where the drafts folder is. When i called customer care, all i got from the support staff was a response that sounded as if my problem's reached the dead end. It took your supervisor Katrina, to help me out with the problem.
second, i tried reloading using a prepaid card but when i tried executing a "send service command", i couldn't find it. again, i called the customer service and again, i got the feeling from the staff that my problem's a dead end and that's it. I requested a call back from Katrina. Again, it was she who showed me how to do it.
This brings me to question how you're training your agents. Having come from an operations background (16 years worth), i know for a fact that the supervisor's only talk to customers when absolutely needed; not for the kind of issues i've raised.
Lastly, i'd like to say that a software upgrade is supposed to bring an enhanced experience, which to me, hasn't fulfilled its potential. Sure, it looks good and seems to have made the phone faster. But an upgrade means, improvement, nothing taken away. When i upgraded/updated the social network app, i was expecting a better performance. Whereas before, i could upload pictures on twitter, now i couldn't - so what i did was reinstall the software assuming it would revert to the old version of the app and it did. This brings to mind my experience with sonyericsson (15 years in total). The upgrades live up to the very meaning: improvement in performance. nothing taken away. I have said before that this will be my last nokia device. My recent issue with just further cemented that mindset.

I agree with netz! and their customer care people aren't of any help either.i asked why i can't reload (or top up) credits to my phone because i couldn't locate the "send service command" on the call menu, the agent at nokia careline couldn't answer. It took a supervisor to help me out. this is an opinion forum and anyone who has criticism for the brand has the right to express their grievances. no name calling.
