[deleted post]My phone is dark grey, very nice color for me, it is something like a dark BMW M3, powerful and angry. Very coooooolll!!! In contrast with the grey text on the back NOKIA Nseries, and many others .

[deleted post]I do not recognize the phone you are talking about!
My N8 is 5 months old and works brilliantly. Never drops a call, never freezes and performs very well.
Would I buy another - too right! I compared N8 camera with IP4 the other day - there was no comparison the N8 was in a different class. Admittedly the IP4 has better apps and software but then it cost twice the price sim free! For all you that are looking at the N8, ignore all the idiots that have nothing better to do than to come on here just to slag off the phone - just go and buy it!!!

rdca, 15 Mar 2011you mean amoled produce by samsung and nokia designed driver chip is not compatible or match? ... moreEverything up to this point are just speculations we don't really know what went wrong. If you want to know the latest about Nokia's purple scren then hit the link below. Nokia is now using a new defect-free screens and those with defects are still waiting to get fixed and the defect free screens haven't arrived yet. Just hold on for a bit. Nokia finally adimitted the defect and that's what really matters here. We have to thank these guys from Nokiausers.net for banging at Nokia's doors and getting the public aware of the defect and forcing Nokia to fix the defect. If the public were silent then nothing will be done.
Everyone interested in getting a new N8 must check the screen to avoid getting a defective unit. If the unit displays a reddish/purple analog clock then it's a sign of a defective unit. Use caution and avoid the hassle.

Pre-historic, 15 Mar 2011Definitely Symbian is not the best OS. If you use your common sense you will know it is not. ... moreEven if I don’t support their strategy,I can proudly say Nokia & M$ partnership will not fail.why?
here are my 10 reasons:
1. Most customers & clients do not even know Nokia is adopting WP7 as primary smartphone strategy,ask 10 of your friends & tell me how many out of that 10,know about this new partnership,most probably 1 or 0.Do the same with your family &friends,result still the same.
And not all Nokia customers want high end phones,some are satisfied by the dumb phones which generate most of Nokia revenue.
2. A lot of customer have/are using Windows on their PC’s and they do like Windows 7 on a PC.They also use MS Office everyday.Now if they hear the new Nokia phones with Windows intergrates/communicates much better with their PC they will be more happy,especially the businessman will look forward 2 a better MS Exchange on their phone.Y can ask yo boss & the answer is obvious.
3. Nokia M$ will combine and use their Navigation assets 2 deliver a true navigation experience that’s unrivaled.Thus more customers would be impressed after purchasing the phones,
4. M$ will try it’s best 2 bring high quality mobile gaming with their Xbox live.If they provide a few titles free this can influence gamers,seems likely they will.
5. Nokia WP user interface will be customized 2 have a better look and feel of being Nokia.
6. Nokia WP will come with better/improved Cameras as they are well known 2 produce high quality cameras.
7. M$ has a huge community of their own developers,so if Qt developers don’t want 2 come on board it won’t affect anything,sorry it’s their choice-take it or leave it.
8. More developers are graduating at schools,colleges,universities with knowledge of C++,.Net,Visual studio and many will be happy 2 join M$ if an opportunity arise.
9. Nokia will produce a Meego device this year 2 keep those geeks on board while they give WP more time 2 improve.
10. M$ will throw in $$$$$$ millions to make the partnership work.After all they’re all in it for money and getting into next generation of mobile phone market.
Even though the whole partnership disappoints me,i definately know it will be successfull if they continue their game play.So far i can say well done Stephen Elop &keep it up,you’re getting there.
Obviously if the deal fails we still have MeeGo 2 back everything up,that’s why Elop put a strong emphasis on MeeGo being for next generation of disruptive technologies.

If you use your common sense you will know it is not. Nokia partnered with Microsoft to change their OS, because Symbian is a Pre-historic OS, and phones with symbian OS were showered with so many faults and complaints. Do you think Nokia would replace Symbian if this is the best OS?

Symbian is the most advance software in the market. Not even iOS and Android can beat it.
For example, Everybody is so impressed when the Motorola Xoom Tablet which is running Android Honeycomb can do scrolling within the widgets. Oh please!! Symbian 3 can already do scrolling within the widget for example favourite contacts etc and its on a symbian phone software.
Even when iOS and Android first came they do not have copy & Paste functionality, but Symbian phone can already do copy & Paste years ago.
This proves that Symbian/ Nokia has the best technology except they have to deliver it in an eye candied way. Meaning better UI.

nokia n8 is good phone but problems in it is not good.....hope screen problem will soon get fixed and after that hope no problem will occur...

From Wikipedia
the OLED material used to produce blue light degrades significantly more rapidly than the materials that produce other colors, blue light output will decrease relative to the other colors of light. This differential color output change will change the color balance of the display and is much more noticeable than a decrease in overall luminance. This can be partially avoided by adjusting colour balance but this may require advanced control circuits and interaction with the user, which is unacceptable for some users. In order to delay the problem, manufacturers bias the colour balance towards blue so that the display initially has an artificially blue tint, leading to complaints of artificial-looking, over-saturated colors.
Maybe this is the reason behind purple Tint

Are you working in Sumsung as a sales who make a deal with Nokia? or you are working in Nokia at production of N8? if no how can you know the second bath differ then the first bath?
If you look all the GSMArena user opinion for N8 that mention that this problem had accure from the first bath.
I think ( again I think) its occure after they downloaded and install some application/theme but they do not know which application/theme couse purple display.
