Belle Refresh and N8 are like match made in heaven. Both goes well together. We get the live widgets,pull-down notification tray,always-ON led clock,better system resource management etc. Beats the Windows Phone OS and iOS and almost on par with Android. There are apps like cutephone which adds customizable swipe gestures to symbian belle like the current gen mobile operating systems. One should also use apps like 'Periodic' which is a mobile tracker and security app for symbian. Other 'must-have' apps to get the most out of this device includes moodagent,swype keyboard,touchremote,dukto,batterymonitor,advancesms,facelock,smartoffice,healthbook etc.

AnonD-172944, 30 Apr 2014Cant we upgrade our OS for Nokia N8 from Symbian Belle into Android jus like our new sister ph... moreYou cant install other OS on N8, because of non-availability of bootloader. Besides Android is not resource-optimized like Symbian, so u will end up with a laggy under-featured device if N8 runs android. On Symbian its a monster with state-of-the-art features like otg,fm transmitter,xenon flash,dlna,dual tv out,offline maps etc. Symbian also allows lots of customizations to your device using 3rd party apps like spb shell. You can make it look like lumia phone,ios or android. However if u want Nokia and android, u can get a Nokia N9 and install android alongwith default Meego OS. Nokia X is only an entry level phone so not worth going for it just for android...

I will try to learn the system as fast as i can, and to find it's weaknesses. I played on this system many times but the phones were never mine, so i could not really work like a crazy with it:)). But as soon as i do something with it, i will tell you guy if is even worthy to go for next lumias to come....

Quite everything. Another prove smartphone should never be judged by how many apps can be found in it's store;).

I pay installme... moreI'm just glad I don't have money so there's no temptation. :-) Someone in my province is selling an 808 for 209 Euro, and a friend can get me a Galaxy S5 for 140 Euro, but my N8 does most things that the 808 does except a little slower and the S5 is just... Don't need it. It's Google. I know I would regret it. The only things I'm missing are LED flash and Skype videocalls but that's good because my love can't see when I'm not shaved. :-)))
I tried the iPhone 5C, surprisingly it feels like a nice phone, and I like it better than 5, but all those limitations... So I'm thinking similar to you, just something with Xenon, nice interface and basic functions, I like how WP looks with those new wallpapers and the new features sound promising. So yeah, let me know. :-) I'm especially worried about data control, with N8 I can do everything with 200 MB / month. Of course I have unlimited wifi at home. But I don't want something that wastes data as soon as I connect it to internet... Well I've read a lot of comparisons by Symbian users who switched to WP but I would appreciate your input too, so I hope you get that phone soon. :-)

I pay installments for it. 27 euro a mounth. 18 mounths. I wanted to buy the 808 but minding the fact that i don't have so much money to spend at once and also there is nowhere to be find but only on Internet and mostly used i decided that is time to try to get used with a device lacking pretty much anything a smart should do:)). Anyway, Simcard is ok, i just stuck it back in it's previos miniSiM form in witch it came, and i have no Problem till now, I don'T use any adaptor. Thank you for the wishes. I'll Keep updating if i will be finally able to use this phone.... And tell you all if it's worthy to jump on wp platform or not. If you're interested...

It either breaks on the first day or lasts forever. So I hope you'll get a working one. Steve Litchfield posted something about huge battery drain on Twitter so I guess you're having the same issue but OK, it's "developer version" of 8.1 and the official one should be polished. What about your SIM card? It's hard to put a MicroSIM back into N8 because some adaptors get stuck and damage the N8 SIM card holder.
I understand you have an itch, I have one too to try 8.1 but I don't have 500 Euro. :-) Not much else interesting at the moment. Actually the other day I found an Android while walking my dog, checked out the camera quality, went through the menus and returned it to the owner while my eyes were still working, of course it was some kid. Even worse, took me 3 minutes to find the camera icon, it was integrated near the "Google" search thing, and that's a bad sign. :-) Well good luck with the 1020, just don't expect Symbian. :-)
