Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

Hi to all especially Ray who's trying to help all the people in this forum. I have been using N8 since nov 2010 with all official updates. i came along with various problems during this period but i couldn't give up my N8 as i was not confident that changing it would have brought me in a better position. after the belle update the phone feels very fresh and highly responsive.The touch responce of the screen is very very good and the apps load much faster.also i ve noticed that the browser and email are much faster.what happent though after the update and restoring of backup(all by nokia suite)i lost everything i had on the phone before apart from pictures,contacts and notes.wifi keys,bluetooth pairings,msgs,email accounts,profiles,settings,apps,call history all gone.
searching in e and f memory i managed to restore some of the lost apps. anyway i hope and wish to all a good update when available and consider my experiance so not to loose valuable staff. Once more thanks to Ray

Hey N8rs. I have an interest in the NOkia N8 and the Nokia 500. I wanted to know which has a smaller hang time. I don't think that the N8 hangs does it?

Thanks man your the BEST! I have downloaded both BELLE versions, for future refurbs, but I will most definitely follow your advice about updating through OVI suite.
If it is not a problem could you please post some links for movie and tv series downloads for N8.
Thanks

UPDATE ON SWAP DEVICES.
Don't bother to go to a Nokia Care Point with your swap device. Instead please refer to the following post on the official Nokia support site and follow the advice given.

You are not alone with this issue. Nokia are aware and are currently investigating. Keep checking for an update over the next week or so for a fix.

@ surendrakanna
Yours is definitely a swap device so you will need to visit a Nokia Care Point to get the phone updated.
When Nokia care repaired that phone they replaced it's motherboard with a generic one but what they should have then done is reprogram the board with your original product code and IMEI number, but have obviously failed to do this.
All the best.

Thanx a million. Belle is now available !!! I had another issue with the mfe client not being able to download ms exchange server emails due to the error 'mandatory server policy failed'. This issue was not resolved on numerous forums of nokia since mid of last year when users upgraded to anna and I was hoping it to be resolved with the Belle update. But seems like it has not happened as yet also even with the Belle Update

@ .JayDiCee
As far as I'm aware the initial Belle update is buggy with some features missing. If you go over to the official Nokia support site you can read a lot of complaints from users who have updated their phones. So that may explain the two entries on Navifirm. You will notice that the second entry includes the APE_ONLY_ENO file but the first entry does not.
I strongly recommend that you use Nokia suite v 3.3.86 to update your phone, which will download the right version for you.
All the best.
Ray.

@ george_k
As ssrki correctly said it's Anna. Furthermore your N8 is not a swap device either so you will eventually get the Belle update but I don't know when.
To be honest, Nokia seem to have made a worse job of the Belle upgrade than they did with the Anna upgrade. The roll out is completely messed up and fragmented plus the sad news that Australia might not even get the update at all.
Going off topic, I'd never had imagined that Greece would see snow. I always assumed it was warm all the year round.
All the best from freezing England.
Ray.

@ N8Fan
Firstly, I was wrong to suggest that your phone maybe a swap device because it isn't. So the good news is that Belle is now available for your N8. You can only update via Nokia suite and you need to install version 3.3.86 to be able to perform the update.
