gurbir, 07 Apr 2011hello
i have got this n8 on march 29
this is a good phone
bt i have one question
how th... moreMany people are asking this question. and let me clarify this once and for all.
this phone uese xenon flash and xenon is a professional photographic flash whereas the flash that turns on when taking videos is called as LED flash.
LED flash can be kept on for a long time and it wont consume much power oh and it is a good flash for videography. but the worst flash for photography since it stays longer for taking pictures.
xenon flash consumes a considerable amount of power but it comes only for fraction of a second. that is suitable for photos.
you must have seen that during some light conditions when its bright, LED flash goes on and the picture comes dark. really dark i mean. thats the reason why its fit only for videography. xenon flash gives the correct brightness and sharpness rather like LED that will turn the whole picture dark when taking photos.
the difference?
LED stays longer and xenon stays shorter thats suitable for photos and it wont keep itself on like LED.
maybe nokia must have provided LED flash as well just in case like in SE Satio right?

[deleted post]No. What's more tiring is the lack of Nokia's action with regards to the issue. They will tell you to take your N8 with the purple screen defect to Nokia Care only to get your unit replaced with another defective unit. That indicates that the issue is widespread and not a few defective units as you suggest.
You're the one getting tired here for seeing your favorite brand exposed for its defective devices. I like Nokia but they messed up. We can blame Samsuck for the defective screens but Nokia should do more. Afterall, the N8 is a Nokia phone and not Samsung's.

Surya007, 06 Apr 2011pr2.0 is a software update(new symbian look and browser)it does not correct the hardware issue.I'm still convinced that the majority of N8 owners are still unaware of this widespread purple screen defect. Nokia should do more addressing this issue but they seem to be too busy trying to release 40 phones this year. There's still no solid answer from Nokia.

Linux_Maemo_N900, 06 Apr 2011Afternoon to all! First off: Symbian_3 is supposedly undergoing a GUI overhaul very soon... moreawesome review. I've always been in love with maemo. Nokia really doesnt need meego they only need to support maemo and given that maemo can play webOS games and apps they could have just partnered with HP or just buy rights from them. Symbian 3 has a lot under the same roof as opposed to maemo and honestly it only needs a UI refresh and absolutely nothing else coz its complete, it has HD games and apps were ever increasin before nokia abandoned it. Maemo and symbian together would have been unbeatable

When I bought my N8 a month ago the first problem I faced was when it shut down and never rebooted, I sent it to the Nokia Care here in the Middle East. It was fixed the only problem was that it seems that the unit speed is not good (there are occassional lag) in application switching. Was trying to find some tweaks to somehow increase the speed then I found out about SPB SHELL, I installed it and the unit seems to run fluidly just like the other phone. I have no problem of issues or whatsoever with lags during application switching and the good thing is that, the SPB shell does not eat up a lot of battery, I still can manage to use the N8 for a day and 1 half with heavy use of wi-fi, listening ot music and calling. Why don't you try it... it might solve some of your lag issues.

Afternoon to all!
First off:
Symbian_3 is supposedly undergoing a GUI overhaul very soon. But this will be a merger to Symbian_4 as far as I know.
Now Symbian 3 has beter support for social networking, a more rounded bolt on packages. The GUI just restricts it's power. maemo lacks some integrated feature functionality which is standard on symbian but they can be downloaded & enhanced jsut as much as symbian.
Linux maemo has hildon GUI. Whereby you can add shortcuts & widget & with the correct free app you can adjust the size, set opacity of all desktop objects.
Symbian_3 will have better built in support over maemo for HD recording, playback HD profiles formats. I not sure of the resolution limit. Maemo 5 has a limit of 800x480 at current I think someone correct me if I am wrong?
Maemo doesn't include all the features built-in for SMS or MMS. But it can do them with a small app plugin which does it nice & simply.
maemo has a pretty good music player only limited by the no equalizer present. no fm radio or transmitter but once these apps are downloaded they work very well.
I bought linux maemo for one reason over symbian. Excellent Graphical user interface hildon desktop, excellent task switcher, excellent multitasking, excellent virtual memory swap file, efficient use of memory, plenty of application installable memory about just under 2GB. N900 has 28GB MMC internal HDD SD memory which is optional memory.
In linux I can cusomtize anything, have custom ringtones, have enhanced contact search features but most of all. The web browser was finished & still has features which Symbian_3 took a while to get.
Aswell as flash support. The maemo I have filled all 4 desktop screens with widgets & my phone still runs with rootfs: 80/276MB free I have 94 packages apps installed.
Flash runs very well the Internet web browser has copy, paste, open new window, save as bookmark, enable portrait mode, advanced Internet options for werty keyb, go back a page key & a briliant google search integrated feature.
Also maemo is the first OS in which I have delight in using the T9 predictive text input. I only can't wait to see how Meego turns out, to have all the features of maemo but with more power than even maemo 5 needs, & HD recording, playback etc...
Maemo can play lots of audio video formats although not fully suited out to carry all the HD gloryness of new phones. MP4 movies looks very good on the N900 screen though although not AMOLED.
Bluetooh is excellent with the pannuchi app I think you can send anything over the BT2.1 in the N900. acceleromter can also be modified with better tilt actions for games. Apps for everything & all free. I've even got solitaire & angry birds on this. anyone fancy palm OS bejuled?
