Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

The purple screen issue only affects the clock screen saver for gods sake. It doesn't even show in the photo gallerry and other places with loads of black like a black theme. You surely can't expect nokia to check every single aspect of every single phone before shipping. How much do the phones cost? They probably just switch on, bluetooth, wireless, battery, switch off. The error must have occurred in the manufacture on the displays themselves.

defects has nothing to do with hardware design as far as i am concerned. defects are pretty much manufacturing error. whatever happens during or after a phone is assembled has nothing to do with its design. maybe nokia did fail with their quality testing but that was never my point in the first place. i was solely referring to their hardware design.
as for the mishandling of shipment, i have no idea if thats what really happened. i was imply throwing that in as an example. i used it because whatever one phone experienced during a shipment was probably experienced by the others along with it. and since they usually ship in bulk, it might have affected a few hundreds or thousands which pretty much represents most of the people complaining. remember, only a fraction of consumers complain like you online so i think thats a pretty good estimate.
and lastly, i never said that you should stop complaining. heck if i were you id be calling customer service every day to get my replacement.ive had my n8 since october or november and i never had problems whatsover (besides a few lag every now and then....). considering im a uni student with no money i feel for you because id be very mad as well if i spent that much money and end up getting a defective unit.

The nokia N8 is such a bad phone. I have only had it for about one month and i have had to take it back three times. The camera on it is awesome and also the music player is good, but the software on it is so slow. Does anyone have an suggestions on what phone i should get, apart from the nokia N8.

Where are you now? You didn't add me? Because you are afraid to face the truth. And don't accuse me that I am copying from others because I will use the camera of my laptop to show to you LIVE that I am using a defective N8 with the IMEI# on it. Shame on you!!!

What ever the reasons are, what ever the explanations are, we don't care JUST REPLACE it with the non-defect units. We are paying for the heavy duty quality phones, not the defects. This is what the Nokia is trying to prove in the world that they are the heavy-duty-hardware phone manufacturer in the world. Where is that crown now? In Software Nokia failed, don't tell me in Hardware Nokia failed also?

All N8 owner's facing
purple/reddish screen.....
We already have enough
discussions regarding this
issue in GSMArena.....
But, this is not going to help us.....
I request you all, please
call the nokia customer care
and email them at least
once or as many times
you can.....
Because, whenever i contacted
customer care of nokia and
informing them,
that,
there are
huge number of customer's
having this purple screen problem,
They replied: we have not
yet received any complain regarding
purple screen problem.....
Thats why, I am requesting
you all please cooperate with
me.....
And the most important thing,
Dont forget to take your
complaint/request/reference number.....
Because, as many times we
remind them about this
purple issue, they will be
back in action knowing that
customer's are very much
concerned about the issue.....
I need you all to co-operate
with me friends,
choice is your's.....
Thanks.....!!

So my laptop kicked the bucket. Good thing I have important files backed up on flash drive. But whats the use if I need them now and have no other pc? Hmm. wait...wait...my N8 has usb on the go! And to think some say this is a useless feature. My N8 saved the day. Know of any iphone or android that does this?
