suvarna53, 01 Jan 2012My N8 display goes off when ever i get a call before receiving it and during making the call.... morethe reason it goes off is cos there's a sensor when recieving a call it turns the screen off so u dont accidentally press a button when its touching the side of your head

      suvarna53, 01 Jan 2012My N8 display goes off when ever i get a call before receiving it and during making the call.... moreit is different from the light sensor meaning. at night if you talk and put it on your ear screen will shut off but only when it is on your ear. in this case, its not that.. this time It just locks the screen. it happes in a sunny day or where ever is a strong light. just move the unlock key on the side and it will unlock the screen..

                suvarna53, 01 Jan 2012My N8 display goes off when ever i get a call before receiving it and during making the call.... morethe n8 has a proximity sensor so when you hold it up to your ear durring a call, the screen shuts off so that is normall

                            just installed mobilevoip on my n8 and used my dialnow settings, now with this soft i can call at low rate over internet, as much as i want due to fact that mobilicity unlimited plans-god bless them- and hope they won't change it.

                              Dear brother Leon,

                              Thank you very much for your reply again... I have to admit that I'm a Nokia fan boy in the first place.. But in the meantime I have complaints too.. LOL.. I love the durability, build quality, camera, simplicity etc.. But I hate 'delayed market strategies', 'less frequent updates', 'carelessness about developing their OS', 'Less RAM and processor powers' etc..

                              I actually didn't know Android could open CAD files... OMG.. That's a really sweet thing.. (I'm too blind for the development of Android because I'm too much in to Symbian... LOL..)

                              I totally agree with you regarding your statements about WP7.. It's not a community developed OS in the first place so it's restricted.. (Obviously...) If I can't play with my device the way I wish.. then there's no use of it.. So even though N8's successor comes with a larger sensor than N8, I will definitely move to an Android device if it comes with Mango...!

                                  And for the camera thingy, u can't compare our N8 camera to other phones, since it have great lens and still has the bigest image sensor ever put in a phone.

                                  Even Xperia that use Xmor-R sensor its only good on the dark, but still can't beat N8 on detail n clarity (if u afraid of the dark, dun worry cause N8 come with a powerfull Xenon flash eventhough its not useable to take video brighter cause we need led for that lol)

                                  I doubt that N8 successor will use even larger sensor, cause its quite difficult to put that large sensor but still deliver a good design (also we kindda need extra leds for making a good night/indoor vids). All i can think is they'll put a nice sets of Processor and adequate RAM just to accommodate in making a full HD (1080p). A great display can add the fun also (Nokia Clear-Black Display or S Amoled)

                                      @ Nuwan

                                      I already use leaked Belle on my N8 (the 0607 one, didn't want to change to 0609 yet cause i don't find any reason to use that version since all already smooth n great, and i'm too lazy reinstaling my apps n reg to ovi again). That is why i don't compare the UI in my both device since theyre both smooth (eventhough Galaxy S has the upper specs).

                                      U have to admit that android OS is good for smartphones cause lots of dev makes apps to support it, as i said before i cant even find a good apps for playing all vids format for my N8, also theres bible app (in indo languange) that i use often, not to mention app to view .dwg (CAD files).

                                      All of these i can't get on Symbian i get from android, well as always, nokia made a phone that user-friendly enough for me to use and be proud of it, but it seems not enough.

                                      Cause its hard for me to be a fan boy, and think that 1 device is legend etc etc, n not experiencing the goods of both.

                                      One thing i wont buy now is Win 7.5 Phones, with all those restriction on hardware n to much depend on Zune is killing all the fun u can get on a gadget. Its too bad Nokia wont making any phones based on Meego, cause i think its a promising OS.
