hello, 30 May 2011my n8 uses GPRS (2.5G) But I'm using Tmobile 3G.... How can I get it work on 3g? First tap on or near to the battery meter. A pop-up window should appear. Tap on the battery icon and check to see if power save mode is active.
If that don't work, make sure you have got the correct internet and mms settings from your operator then goto Settings > Connectivity > Admin. Settings > Packet data and make sure Access point is set to your service providers Access point name, and while your there set High Speed Packet Access to Enabled.

    Ricky, 30 May 2011I have purchased Nokia N8 and found that Headset is not working fine. Can anybody help me out... moreInsert it firmly so that you can hear a "snap" sound...
    See that none of the gold part of the jack is visible

    Over time the 3.5 mm jack will loosen up.

        1. Miles better camera
        2. Better design and construction
        3. Better Connectivity
        4. Better GPRS, EDGE,
        5. Faster Data Speeds
        6. Symbian is better the Bada (compared with same CPU and Ram)
        7. Free Navigation
        8. Document Editor
        9. Flash support
        10. 16 GB internal

        Wave over N8:
        1. Touchwiz UI
        2. 1Ghz CPU, 512mp Ram


        That's it!!!

              I'll buy a new phone in June. I'm contemplating between Nokia N8 or Nokia E7. Which one should I buy? Please advise me. I don't want to regret anything as these phones cost a lot. Thanks! :)

                      SUMEDH, 29 May 2011no security if lost @SUMEDH.

                      Yes, the N8 has security in the form of Remote phone locking, and phone locking when the SIM card is changed.
                      Also, there is an application called Phonelocator Periodic available for free from the Ovi Store http://store.ovi.com/content/25892?clickSource=search.
                      It also allows remote phone locking plus it lets you track your lost or stolen phone via GPS.

                            I've had my n8 now from release date and i still would not swap it for any other phone but i do wish they had made the n8 with a better processor because it does suffer from lag a little but i am prepared to suffer that with the n8's great hardware features and i am also getting bored waiting for the symbian Anna update does anyone have any news when it might be coming out in the UK or anywhere else

                                1. WII have +point on screen size & resolution (3.7 vs 3.5, 480x800 vs 360x640)
                                2. WII have h.writing recog. But do anyone uses that when you have swype?
                                3. Smart unlock can be available through 3rd party s/w
                                4. WII have DNSe, N8 have surround sound
                                5. WII have 2GB storage vs N8 have 16GB storage (internal)
                                6. GPRS-EDGE: class 10 vs class 33 (33 is better)
                                7. WII HSDPA 3.6MBPS vs N8 HSDPA 10.2MBPS
                                8. WII WLAN hotspot can be used in N8 through JoikuSpot. But UPnP is a h/w thing and cannot be available through anything in WII
                                9. 5MP (WII) vs 12MP (N8)
                                10.WII have smile & blink detection, while N8 have none of them. Geo-tagging, Face detection, Image stabilization is available in both.
                                11.Video 720@30fps (WII) vs 720@25fps (N8) [note: all the movie camera uses 24fps and you don't complain while watching a movie. So why complain it here?]
                                12.1GHz processor (WII) vs 680MHz processor (N8). BADA is derived from Android and need more power to run, whereas Symbian^3 need less power.
                                13.WII have FM recording vs N8 have FM transmitter
                                14.WII comes with a single color vs N8 comes with 5 different colors.
                                15.OVI maps is full free while Samsung Navigator is not
                                16.WII have office viewer vs N8 have office editor
                                17.The price of WII is less than N8. What do you expect from a less spec sheet phone like that?

But my wife & me both use an N8 each. While her N8 was the first batch (with PR 1.1 when bought) and my one was second batch (with PR 1.2 when bought). When I updated her phone, it didn't make her office an editor, but somehow when I checked in my phone, it was an editor version (I didn't need to upgrade to any newer PR). So I guess that it is in-built with the second batch (though people say that an upgrade will make it an editor). I didn't find any base that could come to the conclusion of getting editor by upgrading. Pls dig more and let us know if anyone can find a conclusion.
