Anonymous, 18 Apr 2011Why I cannot open Ovi Store for already 2 weeks? Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks! =)friend i was having the same problem.. I tried everything, even reinstalling the software, but of no use.. I took it to nokia care, even they were not able to do anything.. It was then replaced by a new n8. You should take your mobile to nokia care..

AnonD-2912, 19 Apr 2011Dear brother, Who ever is willing to compare N8 with Vivaz, I think it's more or less stupi... moreHe's merely a hardcore fans with no knowledge of technology,dat's why he's so deep drowned in late technology of Sony Ericsson,he has never seen ovi maps 3.07,real 12mp camera packed with large sensor and wide angle lens, I have both Satio and N8,N8 camera do far better than Satio which has lacks of support by company. Sony is good,but ericsson is juz sucky. Vivaz also sucky with d headphone at d side @_@ what d hell is wrong with d designer?

Dear brother,
Who ever is willing to compare N8 with Vivaz, I think it's more or less stupid.
The biggest reason is the camera. N8's camera is way better than any other camera phone in the market and it's not particularly because of no of mega pixels.. For god's sake grow up people.. N8's camera is great not due to it's mega pixel count.. Just google it if you don't have the camera.. Else just go outside and shoot. You'll see the difference.. It has the biggest sensor in a mobile phone camera ever. So the photos are sharper, smoother and detailed like never before.
I don't know why the hell some one is comparing ordinary Vivaz camera with N8's camera..
Let's say I have got only 3 MP for my N8.. Then also I will select N8's camera Only due to its fantastic sensor size. Mega pixel count is nothing but bigger size when it comes to the photography. The sensor size and exposure control abilities of the camera matters the most for 'quality' of photography and ask some professional and he'll say about N8.
I'm not going to say any other things which are good in N8. I only said if anyone is going to compare damn iphones, vivaz, satio or any sh.t with N8, he's so lame and don't know anything about photography.
Cheers N8 owners...
PS: I feel sorry for those who're using N8 but haven't used their great camera potential.. For me, i can live without N8 but not without its camera.

Anonymous, 18 Apr 2011Vivaz my friend has NO SECONDARY CAMERA = NO VIDEO CALLS, only 5 MP. camera compared to 12 MP ... moreN8 got 12mp camera ND filter, geo-tagging, face detection,autofocus, Xenon flash
but vivaz has 8mp camera with video light,Led flash,continous autofocus,touch focus,face and smile detection
just check that n8 doesn't got smile detection,video light,continous autofocus,touch focus......besides the gsmarena review itself says camera interface is outdated.
pixel wise and optical focus n8 got the lead,but i think vivaz's camera got more features.....
by the way i haven't bought both i'm still deciding.what i'm looking for is a nice camera phone at the possible lowest rate.

AnonD-628, 18 Apr 2011Hi Ray!
You've helped me out before with the Pr 1.1 update, so I decided to bother you again,... moreHi Mauritango.
No trouble at all. I've just checked the release schedule for you and your update is " in creation ", which means Nokia have released it but they are waiting for approval from either the network operator or the Nokia testing team for Switzerland, in case it's a SIM free or unlocked handset you have.
Are you referring to PR 2.0 as the next update? If so, we still have a couple of months to wait, as Nokia has decided to re-name it as Symbian Anna ( no more PR numbers from now on ), and they have added a new icon set and theme to the GUI plus a few other enhancements. This new naming system for the update also hints strongly that we will be getting what was called PR 3.0, but will probably be called Bertie or some other male name beginning a B ( as in the naming system of Hurricanes ).
Sadly though, there is no mention of Flash 10 support in Anna, so I don't know if the N8 will ever get full Flash at all.
All the best.
Ray

Lucas, 16 Apr 2011having this N8 as my main phone was a nightmare.. it hang so often that I must wait the phone ... moreI think you may purchase n8 AP set not from the authorized dealer (Zitron). I just bought my 2nd N8 last week with Rm1500. My 1st set was bought last year Oct. This is amazing phone especially it's camera. I snapped photos whenever I wanted to. Because I know that have a right gear at any time. Now my wife and I holding this phone in our daily usage not only for shooting photos. We have less issues with this phone. Everyone who (especially 3 other brands user) see me using it sure they will amaze with its photography capability, not only that; others function too.
For me it's about our perspective as end user to judge & value what is suit to our needs. Not just blindly follow trends.

The N8 is an awsome phone. The latest firmware update fixed many problems that the phone had. It is smoother and very user friendly. A great gps, camera and a sexy look. Overall I'd give this phone a 9 out of 10

... moreHi Ray!
You've helped me out before with the Pr 1.1 update, so I decided to bother you again, sorry man.
I haven't been able to update to 1.2 yet, and although I don't worry so much about this update, the following one is something I'm really waiting for, and I find it strange that pr 1.2 is not out yet for my phone!
My product code is 059D1K6: N8-00 RM-596 Country Variant Switzerland CH Dark Grey V1
Thanks a lot in advance, and sorry for the trouble!

What issues are you having with the integrated mail app?
I may be able to help.
Many people using the email client on the N8 say that it is next to useless, and I used to agree. That is, until I discovered that the email client wasn't the problem but Nokia's servers that were slowing down synchronisation of emails.
The solution is very simple.
What you need to do is bypass Nokia's servers when synchronising mail. To do this, you must DELETE ALL of your email accounts from your phone. Then set them back up again but when you are asked to accept or decline the Terms of Service, during the set-up procedure, press DECLINE. Do this for each mailbox you want to set up.
Now you will have direct access to your email providers servers for faster synchronising. Also, you will have more options available in the Settings menu of the mail app.
All the best.

AnonD-2965, 16 Apr 2011Se vivaz is better than n8.?
720mhz processor with more advanced graphics chip.
Same symbian... more@wreck.
What a gormless comparison.
The OS's are nowhere near the same. Vivaz has S60 5th edition.
N8 has Symbian^3. Different in so many ways.
My N8 doesn't suffer from a purple screen, but some people have reported that their N8's have this problem. This problem is caused by wrongly coded drivers in the AMOLED screen. So of course the Vivaz will never experience the same problem as it has an old fashioned, dull TFT resistive ( also old fashioned ) touch screen.
The N8 has HDMI output, so videos recorded on the N8 in 720p quality can actually be shown in full quality on a HDTV, directly from the phone. The Vivaz cannot do this, as it's output is VGA quality only through a 3.5mm TV-out cable.
Just have a look at the comparison table then say which phone is better.
