tonmoy from bd, 24 Jan 2012guys, i am confused between nokia n8 and sgs2. Can't make up my mind which one to choose? I re... morejust take note that you can use the following until your N8 phone gets destroyed even without any simcard in it.
- Free Navigation GPS forever
- 12 MP camera with Xenon flash (point in shoot camera)
- FM Transmitter to broadcast your music
- HDMI cable and DLNA to share or watch movies on a bigger screen.
and thats without any simcard yet.
Whats the use of a SGS2 three years from now? paperweight?

Anonymous, 25 Jan 2012what about whatsapp on belle!?I have the leaked belle on and whats app works fine,
I read the news about skype on the n8fanclub,
it is news from nokia so it is true, and im sure video calling will be much appreated, and as for the widget not sure how it will look....
ps oh I only tried whats app once so I could be wrong am not sure cause I use fring,
to use fring just log off every time on the leaked belle otherwise you will not be able to use it, and you will have to flash it again....

Karl, 24 Jan 2012Hi everybody
i'm planning to buy a new phone
and i like the Nokia N8 and The Nokia 701 i... moreIn my opinion you're comparing 2 dissimilar models. N8 when released (1 year ago) was the flagship of Nokia. The 701 is not. A fair comparison would be N8 vs N9 or lumia 800). The behavior of N8 as a phone and its built-construction quality is far superior to the 701 (you can look at the articles gsm_arena for the 2 models). Regarding the operating system both are using belle. And one last very imp. thing: N8 is made in Finland! 701 is not. (I bought N8 in Dec 2011).
Have a good day...

tonmoy from bd, 24 Jan 2012guys, i am confused between nokia n8 and sgs2. Can't make up my mind which one to choose? I re... moreDepends on how you use your phone. If you are active, and you don't want to think about how and where you leave your phone, or how to keep it with you while running/biking.. then the N8 is the clear choice. Not even going to mention the superior camera.
If you want a toy to play games on, and watch movies.. the GS2 is your phone.

Karl, 24 Jan 2012Hi everybody
i'm planning to buy a new phone
and i like the Nokia N8 and The Nokia 701 i... moreOverall, the 701 is a better phone. These are the specs.
Processor
--------
N8: 680MHz
701: 1GHz
RAM
----
N8: 256Mb
701: 512Mb
Screen/Resolution
------------------
N8: 3.5'' AMOLED Gorilla Glass / 640x360
701: 3.5'' AMOLED IPS / 640x360
NB: N8 has Gorilla Glass (scratch resistant)while 701 is IPS - InPlane Switching. 701 has brighter screen but nt scratch resistant.
Camera
--------
N8: 12MP Carl Zeiss Autofocus with Xenon Flash
701: 8MP Fixed Focus Dual LED Flash
OS
---
N8: Symbian Anna
701: Symbian Belle
NB: Belle is more recent but N8 will be upgradeable to Belle very soon.
So N8 has better camera but that's about it. I'll advise you go for 701 mostly because of the faster processor and more RAM.

@ Pratip.
This sounds like the memory location where your photos are stored (either E: Mass storage or F: SD card) has become corrupted. This can happen when the phone is connected to a PC in Mass storage mode and is removed without first using the "Safely remove hardware" feature in Windows. You'll most likely need to perform a *#7370# reset to reformat the E: drive (if that's where the pictures were stored) or just simply re-format the SD card if they were stored on there, without the need for a *#7370# reset.

Dear N8 lovers, i too love my N8. Most of you worried about hanging. While hanging, all told abt going for hard reset by pressing 4 keys simultsneously.No need. My N8 also rarely hanged ,tat time i pressed both POWER KEY &MENU KEY few seconds for restart.simple method without loosing anything. Plz post feedbacks. Regards, Imayam,TAMIL NADU

@ bob@ph
Hello there,
Firstly, to delete applications from your phone you can either go to Settings > Application manager > Installed apps and scroll down to the one/s you want to remove. Hold your finger on the app until a pop-up menus appears and tap uninstall. Alternatively, go to your applications folder and press Options > Edit then the screen will change to a grid view. Hold your finger on the app you want to remove until a pop-up appears and tap Delete. When you've finished press Done at the bottom to return to normal view.
If you need to delete files from C:, E: or F: (if you have an SD card installed) use the phones file manager to locate them and once again hold your finger over the file until the pop-up menu appears and selct delete.
Now, moving onto the Belle update. Have a read of the following website to see if the update is for you.
