It keeps coming off, every time it comes off the music pauses. I tried to use it at gym. I mean the phone has some major issues but this one takes the cake. Seriously dissapointed. Would sell it if I wasn't making a big loss in doing so.
-> Before you insert the headphone jack to your device make sure see the logo of headest is face for you and insert it.
Messaging also u have to click on several times to get to a page. I am going back to my bb where it has all the functions and music player with a headphone jack that fits.
-> liar
If the phone hits ur cheek while talking then the line gets cut or put on hold.
OVI sync of FB/Twitter into one page is very unnecessary and browser doesnt work fast like a BB.
Phone dial pad gets stuck most of time. So calling isn't easy.
-> Social Networking FB,twitter need to log-in first in ovi for security of your Fb,twitter account.
-> Yes default Browser not too fast but will update soon Html5, Use Opera mini 10.1 or UC browser its really fast to browse page.
No redial function.Seriously.
-> Liar
Some form of instructions have to be given on how to use it with Mac and sync with itunes if they want to get in on music player market, At least a CD rom with instructions or downloads. I had to scram through net and various posts to get certain things figured out.
Once you activate email download regularly it drains the battery fast.
Two months I tried using without much success.
-> Because they don't know how to use your phone,
Power active Mode
-Offline widgets

-set wlan only
if you want Deactive Power Saver Mode
--Offline widgets

I just noticed. The N8 was only defeated in the daily interest ranking for the first few days that the SE Arc and Motorola Atrix news were featured. But now, n8 tops again, whoo!

Anonymous, 20 Jan 2011Does anyone knows if the N8 support wifi tethering? yes, just download a software named joikuspot. And unlike other androids you'll not be stopped by the operator on this one. Hail n8

The Nokia N8 is a great phone. It has an amazing camera, Symbian isn't too bad, and it's powerful enough to do pretty much anything you'd like it too.
If you get one that works.
Nokia's quality control is awful. I work in a phone store and we order twice as many N8's as we think we need, as 90% invariably come back as ELF/DOA. It is the N97 all over again, but worse, as there's so much more hype.
Our warehouse (which sends phones to every store in my state) had to open each N8 they had in stock and try to turn it on to make sure faulty ones weren't filtering through to us. Even with them doing this we still have so many faulty ones!
They are a terrible phone, so if you get one be prepared to spend plenty of time at your local phone store getting it replaced!
