If 1080p comes at Nokia, with smart zooming, wide angle lens, it will be the best phone ever!

-- By muting i'm talking about it being covered easily - not software settings.
"the phone is made of Aluminium i wonder how you got a plastic cover there....."
-- The phone is not all aluminium. The top and bottom are plastic caps that have been painted.
I remember when this phone 1st came out wondering how the plastic caps would fair - now I know. I think my phone will be looking very tired by the time it is a year old - if I haven't replaced it by then

Initially I was very impressed with it as a replacement for my n97 mini but now I'm regretting getting it. 1st there are a number of times the phone simply freezes for no apparent reason. Or, it seems to be working but has lost signal and will not recieve any calls.--- "have you tried a hard reset by pressing power button for about 8 seconds the phone vibrates and wil restart"
I find messaging with the qwerty keyboard a disaster - it always misreads the keys you press. Swype is sluggish.-- i have swype its not bad at all infact pretty intuitive trust me i have fat fingers
If you have the phone in your pocket you can often miss calls because the speaker is easily muted.-- go to settings and chk sensor settings please switch it off to avoid turn to mute option
And lastly, it certainly is not scratch resistant. I treat my phones with a lot of care and the paint is starting to wear away from the plastic bottom, my screen has a little scratch in it that annoys me no end and to my horror I found a scratch on the camera lens and surround. Oh and there is the cracking in the Glossy HDMI cover. The only real benifit of this phone over my old phone is the screen in sunlight and the camera--- the phone is made of Aluminium i wonder how you got a plastic cover there.....

Sorry. Rephrase. How do you stop the vibration when using the lock/unlock slider and still keep the vibration for calls active?

[deleted post]who said wave has a better camcorder. 720p@25 fps on nokia n8 and 720p@30 fps on wave. Basically anything above 20fps will be equally smooth to human eye. I would have considered wave better if it had a 60fps or 120 fps option as it would have allowed slow motion video capture. But dont forget n8 has a bigger sensor. Video is more sharper with better low light performance and smart digital zoom

about nokia messaging problem
all those who are having any kind of problem please try this.
1. delete all email accounts from mobile and restart phone.
2. Visit nokia messaging website email.nokia.*om from pc and sign in using your email and its password After login you can add more email ids but the first email id with which you signed will be your nokia messaging username and its password will be your password.
3. On n8 create a new account with email id same as the nokia messaging username (the first email you configured) and password.
4. This will automatically retrieve all email inboxes which you have configured in nokia messaging account with push enabled.
For Gmail nokia messaging is faster than on android. Yahoo and hotmail have a very minor delay < 1min. Some service such as rediff cant provide push email without a paid upgrade

Are you having problems with push
email on the Nokia N8 ? Well, you’re not alone, that’s for sure. Lately we’ve been seeing a lot of activity about
various aspects of the push email
service offered by Nokia messaging
on the Nokia N8.
Nokia Messaging is a great service by
design. It works with your regular
email provider – be it Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, Ovi Mail or any other of
the numerous supported providers
and delivers all your emails instantly as
they arrive. With push email the handset doesn’t need to connect at regular intervals to
check if new mail has arrived, instead
the Nokia servers push any new
emails to your phone thus ensuring
emails get to you right away.
Here are the most common problems
users have been experiencing:
Push delay
Push not working at all Deletions not getting synced with Ovi Mail Hotmail push email not working some times
If you have a problem with push email
on your Nokia N8, you should make
sure you’re not using a WAP access points for your mobile internet
connection. If your issues are Hotmail
related, make sure you ’re not using some sort of a Messenger app with the
online status set to Online (as opposed
to Away, Be right back or Offline). Yep,
I know, it ’s weird, but it helps if you’re not in Online mode.
Many users have had success in
getting their emails fine and dandy by
bypassing Nokia Messaging and its
servers altogether (by declining the
Terms of Service) and setting the email
client to use plain old IMAP with a short sync interval. This way,
notifications won’t be received instantly, but at least they do come.
Yahoo accounts (which use POP
instead of IMAP) seem to be working
fine with Nokia Messaging.
Another suggested fix (for Gmail, at
least) is to use setup a Mail for Exchange account. Google calls it Google Sync since using it allows you
to sync your phone with Google
Calendar and Google Contacts as well
– much like Android phones by default – but it’s Mail for Exchange nonetheless. Setup is a breeze and the
only additional option you should
enter besides your email, username
and password is the Google server
(m.google.com).
