Check out if your N8 has faulty display

1. use midnight silver theme -- make sure you have analouge screen saver clock -- make sure brightness is down ---flick lock switch -- when screen is locked press menu key to bring up the clock

2. using midnight silver theme -- download qt torch -- open it up -- the background will look a dark brown/purple -- keep your eyes on the two touch buttons at bottom of screen -- press torch button -- as screen gets brighter watch the two touch buttons go from a greyish purple to the black they are supposed to be as if by magic

3. there are many more methods of seeing it like watching the tron trailer and watching the blacks mix to a purple hue and many more

4. download the test image from http://symbianusers.blogspot.com/2011/02/n8-display-problem.html. adjust the display brightness to lowest. If it shows purple tint please let me know

            I've had this device for 5 days now, and I must say it's brilliant piece of advanced technology cleverly incorporated into elegant hardware unit. Like someone said, it's not only the technology, it's how you use it.
            Only software is somehow lagging behind, namely browser, writing and few GUI and OS glitches that can be hopefully fixed in future OS relases and firmware updates.
            P.S No bad screen, no lockups, no abnormal freezes or hiccups whatsoever.
            My N8 is Made in Finland.
            Have a nice day!

              If the left, you have a broken phone, if the right, don't worry.

                1. Everything's still the same?
                The interface on the N8 looks a lot like the one on the much older N97, which says a lot about the new OS. Not much has been done to make it slicker, or even look a bit different. We're all for nostalgia and all but not when it comes to UI design!
                2. Feels clunky with too many menu options: There are still too many menus and sub menus to manage the options and settings in both the OS and within apps.
                3. Handicapped Widgets: Widget size on the 3 home screens is limited, which not only reduces functionality, but also makes certain widgets a pain to use. Imagine catching up on ur twitter timeline and only and being able to read one tweet with every scroll.
                4. Ovi store is sparse: Despite Nokia's best effort , the ovi store z far behind apple's app store and android's market.
                5. Even nokia may drop symbian.

                                    My only complain about this phone is that it can be tricky to change language packs. The N8 purchased in Australia has only two languages pre-installed - namely, English and Filipino. Changing the language packs requires some savvy (downloading a few files from the internet, which I am reluctant to do), or a lot of luck - I have posted a similar issue on the Nokia discussion board, and did not get a very helpful response.

                                    I am also a little protective of the camera lens. I know it is supposed to be very scratch resistant, but it would be nice to be able to purchase a protective case which can cover the lens as well (have not had luck in this area. After months of trying, I purchased a simple gel-case).

                                    Otherwise, I am very happy with my N8 phone. Pre-installed maps with Assisted GPS (saved me buying a GPS unit for my car), nice media player, a nice camera/recorder, a big hard-drive plus optional 32G SD card, good voice recorder. Most importantly for a phone - very good phone reception, even on hands-free using the internal speakers.
