mannix, 05 Dec 2013nokia don't know if you are doing your research well,no matter which phone you released or you... moreI too completely agree with you brother. I am using N8 since one n half years & still facing no major issues (except some minor lags & rare switch offs due to low ram, but its too rare, rest is just awesome). Many of my friends use high-end smartphones. But N8 stands still its place. Conquering almost all the phones till now in respect of camera, except for lumia 1020 & pureview 808. I know, N8 lacks in respect of apps, but we can download awesome apps from n8fanclub, they are just awesome, & in near future, i hope the deficit of lack of apps will surely be filled by Nokia. But i can proudly say, N8 is way ahead of androids in respect of multi-tasking, fast processing, sturdiness, rock solid built, looks awesome, premium aluminum coating, hangs & lags rarely than always laggy androids, it has good battery backup, & the best part is its more than 3 years from release of N8, & today the daily interest touched 41%. I am proud owner of my N8.

    nokia don't know if you are doing your research well,no matter which phone you released or you are planning to release it will never matched N8, you know why N8 is still the best? It's the only phone you can do everything with from camera video rec,HDMi tv out you can watch your movie either using your phone on the go by using USB flash OTG or watching on your HDTV using HDMI cable not forgeting 3D dolby digital sound this phone can give,you can also transmit your music/radio to any fm radio wherever you are and share with others,you can also watch setlite tv if you have mobile drifter on the go. If nokia wants to conquer in business they should continue to use the same mechanism found in N8,N9 and nok 909 preview and add little improvement such as Ram mem and OS. For me Nokia N8 still the best and have no comparison for those who knows what they wants in mobile...

        Anonymous, 03 Dec 2013replacing N8 with blackberry Z10, is it a good decision ?)Maybe. :-) I am interested in Z10 too, it's a flagship phone, not many have it, they say the price is good now and all the bugs are fixed, camera is OK, but I would still keep the N8.

          Sourav, 03 Dec 2013Hello frenzz.. My N8 software version is 111.040.1511 (Belle Refresh) Is it upgradeable ... moreThat is the last version, I have it too. No upgrades are planned unless Nokia surprises us from the grave. :-( But there were some updates, new widgets, new Maps, new Social, a "fix for messaging" etc, so if you have them all, this is it...

                Before i always had a problem by locking my phone's screen because i had to turn its button manually but after reading user's opinion/comment . . .i tried to install screen lock and unlock from store. Today i get success by installing screenlock and iunlock app from store :)
                My Opinion : Nokia N8 is a real camera smart phone ! it is my primary handphone too. Its pictures in low light place is also good (without using flash) . This handset has a good & right size so it is easy to take it with for holiday or everywhere but i keep its pictures in my tablet because its easy to watch and edit.:)
                Thank you Nokia !

                  Anonymous, 01 Dec 2013Hm...How did I miss that one! I know it went down to 4% at one time but started going up again... moreIt lost the number one spot in the beginning of June... I know because I looked at the date of a Facebook message I sent someone about it, and it was on June 3rd. :-)
                  Yes, too bad you don't use it. I'd offer to buy yours but it's probably in some color I wouldn't like. :-D
                  I don't think Ace was ever ahead of it, for a while there were S3, S2 and Ace behind the N8. Then S3 went up, then S2, but Ace is still just breathing behind its neck. :-) I suppose it's here because it is cheap and it sold a lot. Just like the Lumia 520, huge daily interest but it's also the best sold Windows phone ever.

                    Anonymous, 01 Dec 2013hey friends, can video call in skype be expected in N8 ??No. Skype is owned by Microsoft, Nokia is owned by Microsoft, but they can't make Skype video calls for Symbian. Actually, they don't want to do it. They want everyone to forget Symbian and buy a Lumia.

                        Anonymous, 01 Dec 2013i am just now using belle refresh version. How is delight refresh ? What are the features of d... moreDelight Belle Is something not official By Nokia

                        But it is quite good, You will surely love the new themes effects, And New apps will be added the phone will be hacked it self means you can install any sisx file app, Battery will work a little good, as per my experience, The Menu will be fully customized like all navigation apps like Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive will be found in a folder named Navigation You will have a hard time finding the app like call log and calculator

                        BELLE FP2 Widgets will be found

                        And FP2 style Multi tasking Interface will be on it...

                        Over all It will be good.


                        But be careful Flashing that Firm ware cause my phone was dead for more than 12 hours had to re boot it through dead flashing And it worked

                        Now I am looking forward to try Symbian Anna Cause I never had my hands on it..

                        I'll advice you to please go through Youtube and have the look of Belle Delight..

                        After that try to change your Firmware on your phone to belle delight....

If Nokia was smarter, they would of released an updated version of the N8 with the 808 specs or better. I love this phone still. Mine is two years old now and it still looks like new. I have the Xeon custom firmware on it which makes it even better. No other phone like it in my opinion.

I know it went down to 4% at one time but started going up again after a week or so and climbed steadily thereafter. My recollection - from 11% in July(?) to 39% today! That is truly impressive. That makes the N8 a CLEAR WINNER. Too bad I lost interest in it in terms of use. So! It has also passed the Ace too! Wow! I never understood why the Ace was ahead of the N8. Well, it is easy to use,I guess - and a little cheaper but it takes an eternity to download anything and runs out of memory after you install 3 - 4 apps. Gross!!!!

                                      I too wish I had one more to try Delight. I have more than 160 apps in it (works as fast as ever), and a lot of settings and stuff, so it would be hard to re-install it all. But if I had another one I would do it slowly in my free time. Mine is scratched too, but that's because of the old owner. :-/
                                      Guess what, 40 percent daily interest now!!!

                                        And you know I Am using My N8 On Custom FirmWare Delight Belle 6.3 working awesome...!!!

                                        And the new theme effects are amazing..


                                        Thinking to Buy another N8 in Silver Colour
                                        Have a dark Grey as of now..

                                        Got too much scratches on it...

                                        And also looking forward to try hands on N900 and Lumia 920

                                        But No One will replace the Legendary N8

                                        One more thing that left me Shocked I almost said What The F**k In my office looking this page
                                        http://www.gsmarena.com/stats.php3

                                        As per the Stats Nokia N8 has on 3rd rank in daily Interest by visitors with 31,575,966 hits

                                        That is really amazing

                                        And yes the successor of N8 Pure View 808 could not also replace nokia n8


                                        This phone is truely a Legend

                                        Hats of to that Guy who had Idea to build a phone like this in 2010
