The first N8 that I've got to test in the store is also the unit I bought. Luckily I didn't encounter any problem up until now. Why don't you canvass first on different stores before you buy? You should test first the unit intensively before you make your purchase. Don't mind how long it takes. Just scrutinize all the features and see if they are working perfectly fine. Problems will show immediately if the device is defective. You should also check if the phone's IMEI when you dial *#06# matches that in the sticker at the back of the phone. Check the lifetimer, *#92702689#, it should show all zeros. Software version when you dial *#0000# should be 011.012. Check the Photos app, there should be some preloaded nature wallpapers there. The Videos app should contain 3 Tron videos and 1 Dolby demo video. Just check the unit until you are satisfied. Good luck.

Look at iphone 4 for example what can shitty Led can do in low light(juz can give shitty quality), I thought those problems are of iphone 4 not from N8,I think those problematic staffs are like from andoid fans and iphone fans who can't stand the success of Nokia.
    N8 camera mode......?? why? it has the best camera and its modes are ok who the hell tells that decidedly outdated? Come on! there's no even dedicated key for camera in iphone4.

Again to him, his lucky to have the original one because he had only couple of days left till he gets back to his hometown . . try to imagine if your like him but end up having a defective one till you get back, IT WILL BE SAID I TELL YOU And that is why we have many trollers out here in this forum bashing N8 is a white flag to all the top phones now days because they end up being the disapointing one

                      Symbian's user interface is the one outdated not the operating system itself. You don't call the only operating system so far that can multitask heavily, can connect to most number of devices in the most number of ways, can output 720p on tv, has their own great and free mapping solution and is already 4G-ready, among others, outdated.

                                  Video player has some issues
                                  Battery life is not on par with best in the business
                                  Battery is not user-replaceable

There are 5 pre-installed themes which match the 5 individual colors of N8, dark, silver, blue, orange, and green. And there's also the Midnight themes available via SW update that also match 4 N8 colors this time not including the dark grey one.
