Joshua Jesu, 09 Nov 2011Hi everyone...I just get information from somebody tell me that will come out second n8 call N... moreTill date, it is false. Think about it, forget everything else, Nokia have given up on Symbian & MeeGo. So why would they build another Symbian Flagship? My dear friend, those are rumors. Nokia is not going to put any camera more than 8MP (fixed or auto focus) for a while, let alone 12MP. So be sure that N8 will not be re-make. But, I think (not sure), there was a PINK version of N8, launched in USA & Finland only (I found it in Nokia's USA & Finland site only, not even in UK), was with a 32GB memory built-in & supported 32GB card. That N8 might have the name N8-01, instead of regular N8-00. I'm not sure & can't recheck, as the search with N8-01 results some rumor phones.

Then you'd know whether there is a virus for N8 or not. FYI, "CBH Trojan Horse" was the one causing this problem. I'd be happy to infect your N8 to prove it to you, but I won't as I love N8 (any N8) so much to make it go through any trouble.

How exactly does this method help you to install unsigned SIS files? Please r... moreRay,
If you'd check the other options, I'm sure, a tech-geek like you would understand it clear. But even then, I'm trying to clear it for you.
You have two options under Software Installation: All & Signed only. When you select All, then the phone will not hold back the SW that is unsigned.
You have three options under Online certificate check: Must be passed, On & Off. If you choose the first one, then your new SW will NOT be installed unless your phone connects to the net & the certificate passes the criteria. If you choose On, then it'll check online, give you a warning if it is not passed, but let you install the SW (if the SW installation is set to All) or hold it back (if the SW installation is set to Signed only). If the option is set to Off, then it will not hold the SW installation back. It'll work without anything, just giving you a fair warning before the installation.
I'm very disappointed that you couldn't understand that, Mr. (H)ipkiss.
Keep N8-ing

I finally upgraded my N8 to Symbian Belle and I must say that it's much better than Anna..except the notification bar, I didn't find any other similarities between Belle and Android (I don't know about Gingerbread and others,I used android 1.6 only ). Flashing wasn't so difficult, had to download a few softwares and then I just followed the instructions.
Belle is awesome, but N8 should've had it long ago.
Cheers.

I have tried deleting all the memory and restore the phone but it hasn't helped. I guess that I will have to live without GPS until Nokia decides to put out another update to correct this problem. I am so disappointed in Nokia right now. My N8 was working until this 'so-called update.'

First you need to update your phone to Anna, then visit the Nokia beta labs website and download and install the camera update application.

@ Sivakumar.
You can store your songs to the inbuilt 16 GB memory but the phone will slow down if you fill it up too much. The same is true for an external SD card, so it's best to leave a few Gigabytes free.
You will only be able to update your phone once the update has been released for the USA because the updates are tied to the phones product code which are country specific.
I'm not sure how long you have had your phone but if you buy an N8 from one country to be used in another you actually lose your warranty. If you need to have the phone repaired under warranty you will have to take it back to the USA.

Hi friends..
I've got few doubts...
1. Can we store the songs and videos in the 16 gb internal memory or is it better to have it stored in external memory card ?? storing large amount of data in the internal memory, will it affect the speed of the mobile??
2. My mobile was purchased in USA.. i am in India.. can i update it to anna or any future updates that is available here in India ?? are the updates country specific?? updating a mobile in India which was purchased in USA, will it bring any problem??

Open the maps application and tap the spanner icon. Then tap Navigation > Drive guidance and select the language you want from the list. You may be prompted to download the drive guidance file if it isn't already installed on your phone.

n8, 09 Nov 2011When will belle update comes of n8....?
@ n8
Nobody knows when Belle will be officially released for the N8. The time frame given by Nokia is sometime in Q4 which translates as anytime from now until 31st December 2011. That being said, it's not unusual for Nokia to miss their own deadlines so don't be too surprised if it doesn't appear until 2012.
Cheers.

@ Suhanoo.
You should have read my other post regarding Android running on a sub 1 GHz CPU. You can read it again by clicking on the " in reply to ..." link at the top of this post.
By the way, there are NO viruses for Symbian ^3/Anna.
All the best.
