Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

Anybody eyeing to buy a Symbian device today, don't. You'll only get disappointed as I do. I've been a hardcore and loyal Nokia user for 10 years now. And every Nokia phone I've dealt with all have some sort of problem, either software or hardware. So it's bye bye Nokia for me now. I'm gonna sell my 2-month old N8 and switching to iPhone 4. I don't think I'll ever get back to Nokia again.

Hello to all. My N8 is ok. Except that most of the time, the music player widget get hang. The music title will not change even though the song is already different. And the play button keeps displaying the arrow play sign even though the song was already stopped and in the pause mode. Hope nokia will address this problem in their next software update.

Friends I m a nokia lover but i suggest you don't buy this handset. It takes great picture in sunlight but not in xnon flash (mainly distance pics in flash). This is waste of money

hi frnds i hav been using N8 for quite a time & pleased wid the performence, if u want to install any app but certificate error r there thn u can sign app with ur own certificate and key.
In order to create certificate & key log on to cer.opda.cn/en/ register urself (its free) thn go to my crtificate tab & apply for certificate & key, u only hav to give ur Imei No, it taken 12-14 hours approx & thn they provide both certificate & key. Once u got certificate & key use them via free signer to sign any application & u r done install signed apps in ur Nokia N8.

Nuwan, 09 Mar 2011Dear friends,
For those who wants 'lightctrl.SIS' just search for it in mobile9 web site...... moreThat doesn't fix the defect. It merely masks it with increased brightness. There are batches of N8s out there with perfect screens. It sucks that some people have the defect while others have perfect screens of the same device.
We want a True fix for this problem from Nokia. They should issue an update to fix this problem and acknowledge the defect.

Anonymous, 09 Mar 2011so where do we get the software? have you tried it already in your phone?Dear friends,
For those who wants 'lightctrl.SIS' just search for it in mobile9 web site... (Under N8 software category)
Even googling for it will give you so many results because it's a very popular app...
Remember, set the brightness to 80 and see whether so called 'purple' issue remain or not...
Yes... I'm using this software for several weeks and I don't see any purple, reddish color problem what so ever...
In fact, it's a defect in software controls according to the ambient light sensor.. Once you disable it, the screen will be brighter and you'll no longer see any purple defect...!
Bye bye for the purple maniacs...!
Note that, this app will cause the battery to drain little faster because it increases the brightness level of the phone.. But I can say that difference will not be a big deal compared to the purple problem...
Just try and look for yourself...

Yeah... Just like other friend has also told, Download 'Tune wiki' player from OVI store and then install it...
It has the Manual Equalizer preset thing and most strangely when you edit equalizer their those presets will be saved in your default Nokia Music player too...!
I was so glad to have this player because before that I was so frustrated without equalizer manual controls... I'm a damn music lover and I want it to be perfect as for my taste...
