Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

There's a rumor that Nokia is about to release a 32GB version of the N8 with ClearBlack AMOLED display. This is like a slap in the face of current N8 users still having problems with their defective units.

this phone is sucks, the touch sensitivity is not that good and the camera resolution deosn't reflect 12MP at all and the image u will see very bad
i bought it then sell after 1 week only
if you want a good cell go for Samsung wave I,II or Galaxy and you will see in it the real touch sensitivity like the IPhone

I think you are confusing me with another poster who said the defect rate of the N8 is at 70%.

Mine only defective screen "purple" problem, but the other features are perfect as of now.
If it is true that the N8 amoled screen is from Samsung then Samsung intentionally sabotage Nokia. Why Nokia didn't produce their own capacitive touch screen? Why they need to buy from other manufacturers? Of course it is a competition, If you are that wise are you going to trust your direct opponent?

After constantly finding more and more things that just simply don't work with the N8 I thought I'd attempt to do one last thing before getting a new phone; let people know about this brutal rip-off. While on a bus I discovered that e-mails don't send from this phone either. Just yesterday this phone was sending my responses to text messages to the wrong people - quite unacceptable and if I heard someone else talk about it I probably wouldn't even believe that a phone can allow for THAT bad of a screw up. I've never had a phone that wasn't dropped with a minute, honestly I'm with Rogers and people call me expecting it now. It's embarrassing. The battery life is terrible and while it's charging I need to baby it to make sure that it's charging. The battery meter only has 100%, 70%, 40%, 10% and one more but it's not even worth remembering when these indications are usually quite incorrect. The HDMI plug-in never worked - tried on two different televisions. The phone is constantly freezing and just closing and opening things randomly, just the most bizzare and frustrating glitches ever so frequently. Texting takes life times, the phone is SO slow and laggy that it takes about 10 seconds to read a received text ...IF lucky and the phone doesn't just close the message just as you're about to see it. The camera is great, but nothing else even works.

just wondering if any Apple laptop users have experience of using this phone? Can it be used a modem for a Mac? Any other major deal breaker issue? Thanks a lot for the help. Declan

Hi. Got my N8 for about a month now. My 1st touch screen and 1st Nokia since the 3210 (long time ago when still plain black and white screens). Have been using Sony Ericsson ever since but bought N8 'cos of camera and features.
Very happy with it. Fantastic pics from camera - can zoom right in and still very clear (haven't used night shots much). Very responsive touch screen but predictive text can be a pain.
Web browsing ok, but prefered my old SE.
Ovi store ok, but good applications can be pricey (here in South Africa).
No purple screen on mine and build quality seems good.
When I tried the headphones that came with the phone - great sound (though I wish that the phone had stereo speakers), couldn't get the music player buttons on them to work. Have since updated the phone via the ovi store (+-172mb) but haven't tried the headphones again.
All in all, I recommend the N8. It does all I wanted it to do and more.
I was actually waiting for the Motorola Milestone 2 to be released in SA, but there was no word on it's arrival and I couldn't wait, so I got the N8. At least there won't be any problems as N8 has no slider mechanism.
Nokia N8 = 8.9 / 10 (marked down for Ovi apps, browser and no stereo speakers on phone)
And I don't want to get involved in debates / arguments over purple screen and Symbian being a dead platform - when tomorrow comes I will deal with it and upgrade when N8 has served it's useful life with me.
Cheers
