There will be a need for further updates after Belle due to bug fixes and so on. Don't know how regular the updates will be but based on past history of Nokia update schedules you should expect two or three per year.
All the best.

i have been using this phone for the last three months and each and every day am finding better and better. it is a phone on its own. guys try connecting a USB keyboard/mouse to your n8 then connect the phone to your HD Tv. you will love the experience. keep N8-ing.

Rob, 05 Oct 2011Thanks Ray. Would wait for the update. But do you know the reasons why update for the USA mark... moreHi Rob.
As far as I know, Nokia are waiting for local approval from the USA, even for SIM free unlocked phones. Approval still needs to be given for the update to ensure full compliance and compatibility with the networks. It's also well known that the USA is notoriously slow when it comes to approving firmware updates, even for Android phones as well.
All the best.

This is not a critical bug. it's something Nokia removed from the logs.
A critical bug would be bad coding causing the OS to crash repeatedly.
Cheers.

You will not be able to upgrade to Anna until the update has been approved in the USA.
Also, I don't know how long you have had your N8 but if it is still new, you don't have a warranty either. The warranty for your N8 is applicable in the USA only.
Buying an N8 from one country to use in another is a risky thing to do when you consider the manufacturing defects that have been known to plague the N8, from faulty screens to faulty motherboards.
Anyway, the best of luck to you but don't be too anxious to get the Anna update, it's nothing special. A minor UI change, split screen text input, a re-designed browser (which is still laggy and slow) and a few minor bug fixes.
All the best.

jake, 04 Oct 2011hi George its a nice phone,but hangs with symbian^3not with anna its a good choicestrange, N8's symbian is one of the most stable phone OS available. In addition, it's price is keep falling. If it continues, will definitely get it.

To whoever is considering buying N8.I am using this phone for last 8 months.I have upgraded to anna now.With anna major improvements are,
No crashing or freezing of phone or apps
Better battery life(30-40%)
Email client has become very slick
Better browser speed.
New camera UI and major improvements in video quality.and lots more.You can check other improvements everywhere.
Now with Belle expected in November,no phone can beat N8's value for money,as belle promises to make the UI very good with increased battery life and many other goodies.
So N8 owners rejoice and prospective buyers,rush there is no substitute to N8 even after 1 year.Best Camera,free GPS,HDMI port,FM transmitter,awesome build quality,call quality,great battery performance.What else do you need in a smartphone with such price.
