Nokia N8 - user opinions and reviews

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.

Check your N8 screen. Have a look at this link. Which one is yours?

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

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.

Bought my phone 09 Dec. 2010. Stopped working first week in Jan. 2011. i took it back to the store where i bought it, who told me that this was the sixth N8 with a similar problem. So much for Nokia reliability. . .

Test your AMOLED screen if it has a gradient problem. View this image on your N8. The background around QTorch should show a dark grey color. Otherwise, your unit has this problem.

Anonymous, 06 Feb 2011 Just the opposite? Your former device must have been Faulty. The screen needs to get darker i... moreno man, I know what your reasons makes sense but all the devices I've used so far (nokia n&3, n73 ME, n85) all had just the opposite..
but anyways I went back to the shop and replaced my faulty one, m so happy now ^^

question: does it have multiple alarm savings? thanks (just need different times to feed the animals - rather than carrying a few alarm clocks now)
