Hey guys again and again some stupid ppl r spamming abt N8 complains...normally 1st lot of mobiles have problm..like wat happened to my 5800 wen i just brought it...My N8 is frm 1st lot in oct wen it was launched..its perfect...Love it each day more and more..now have 6 home screens and mod version 6 is installed...Most perfect fone ever used..battery last 2 days with decent use and 18 hrs with heavy use..wic fone gives soo many features in such less price...Even galaxy II doesnt even have basic camera button...guys common we knw Nokia offers more features and software support than anyother fone...Nokia rocks and i love the symbian 3^ OS...now waiting fr PR 2 and then PR 3...gr8 going nokia..
I have been using black n8 for one month. Its a great phone with its userfriendly symbian3 os, lots of application from ovi, great camera and great build quality. I will recomend this phone to all of thos who want to by a great all in one multimedia phone for rupees 22700/-.... Nokia is back in the race......
Hmm after going through all ua cmnts.. I dont know abt the previous N8 but , the new edition of the N8 is rely great
Anonymous, 14 Mar 2011Of course my N8 is genuine. It is not on my mind to buy a fake Nokia phones. It came from the ... morehi friend....!!
i am an indian...i live in saudi arabia...i bought my n8 1 month before....but no problems...the screen is perfect..i tested with many dark photos.....works perfectly....mine is n8 blue made in finland....
its just amaaazing u should buy it ppl
Very cynical about this phone, had the iphone 4, blackberry 9780 and blackberry 9800 all very good phone but the Nokia is the phone for me.... Its different to the others and a very under estimated phone by comparison! Symbian S60 i agree is over complicated and difficult to use sometimes but the hardware is cutting edge and superior to anything else on the market.
Thank You Nokia, and WELL DONE!
nokia released a memo worldwide regarding the amoled problem. They are now accepting repairs at all nokia care centers. Nokia centers here in the philippines are now accepting repairs. My friend's wife had the amoled problem, he left his wife's unit for a couple of days and when he picked it up, the unit's screen was normal. No purplish/reddish shade.
Pre-historic, 14 Mar 2011The thing is..if you're only after the camera of N8, it is nothing compared to a dedicated cam... morewell for what i paid for the n8, is not just the camera. My n8 also acts as my GPS unit, media hub, web browser, FM transmitter, and my casual entertainment device (games). With these plus with features like USB-OTG and HDMI, it is definitely worth my money.
"Just for instance this N8 which is the most expensive phone,"
Expensive? What, seriously? In malaysia an n8 is 2/3 of an average android device and 2X less than an iphone 4g.
"but the RATING goes down and down"
is just to easy to vote 1.1.1 for a device in gsmarena. Just look at how low the iphone 4g rating is.
And you dont expect me to lug a dedicated compact wherever i go, do you? What about those on the spot moments?
If you can find a camera which has wifi, gps, acts as a media hub, able to plug in pendrives, etc, i would eat my hat. If you cant, let me enjoy my n8
Okay. Enough with these debates. Who among you have sent your broken N8 to a Nokia Care for repair? I've heard they are already accepting warranted repair of N8's affected with this AMOLED problem.
AnonD-695, 13 Mar 2011ah but there's a catch, the n8 comes with a seriously huge sensor (larger than some compacts a... moreThe thing is..if you're only after the camera of N8, it is nothing compared to a dedicated camera at the same price range. Right? With all the features of truly dedicated camera. N8 is built as a phone, not as a dedicated camera. Hence you should get what you paid for as a package and not simply due to the camera. Most Nokia admirers lost trust in Nokia in this matter. They feel betrayed because they don't get what they paid for. Just for instance this N8 which is the most expensive phone, the highest interest rate, but the RATING goes down and down, with lots of faults and defects being complained by users. You don't just go for camera alone. And N8 will never match a dedicated camera for the same price range.
i have been using this handset since dec 23rd 2010. i have no problem with the same. i hope in the next update it will be able to play movies over 2GB.
AnonD-3899, 14 Mar 2011Hi Aman,
How you did take samples for your survey? my opinion you not do proper methode of st... moreYou sold more then 100 N8 but only few complain about purple/redish display. this means what?? there is a defect in the screen. dont try to mask the defect.
people pay lot of money to buy this phone and get this piece of Sh!t. i doubt there are less that 50% defectless N8s out there.
Hey friends dont encourage others to buy phone if your phone has a defect. try to save others money atleast.
I have got N8 few days back...IN INDIA
I have same purple/reddish issue
Called Nokia care...they referred to Nokia service center as it had to be physically examined.
They said that its known with all N8 devices and Nokia doesn't consider it as fault and they cant help in this case..
PLEASE HELP !!! WHAT DO I DO NOW?

i am a x10i user.... but i regret for buying it because SE gave up all his 2010 phone... for me n8 is a great phone wif mid-range price..

Aman, 14 Mar 2011I have looked into soo many sites/forum and every where. I see each 98 out of 100 Nokia N8 use... moreHi Aman,
How you did take samples for your survey? my opinion you not do proper methode of statistic.
Please be fair, no perfect handset up to now since I change the handset few time a year, not because I am have alot money but I have a hand phone shop and i do trade in.
I sold more then 100 N8 but only few complain about purple/redish display, so be carefull with yr statement, if you are not in the good luck, maybe nokia will sue you and I am sure you will in the big troubles.
My opinion, the best handset at this time is Nokia N900, I got it 6 months ago and not new set but some one trade in with BB Torch.
Up to day I never think to change it since N900 is a micro PC which now we call its TAB/TABLET and again my opinion N900 is more powerfull, faster and better File Management for application then others TAB even tought others TAB have 1GHz CPU but ofcourse the display SGS is better.
May God bless you and pls dont make more sin, hehehe.
