Nokia N8

[Scott B]

Hi everyone, I'm looking into the possibility that the Nokia N8 may be having technical problems.

Has anyone hear bought one? Have you had any issues?

Cheers, Scott.

Scott - talking to yourself is a sign of madness.

The second is answering oneself ...

LOL, epic fail (on behalf of Nokia). THOUGH, I love Nokia... that's too bad... I didn't like the N8 though. Nokia needs to step it up with a better UI. I think the E7 looks better than the N8. Pretty much the same, but sports the full keyboard under the screen

Mine is fine... (so far!)

Symbian OS looks old (dated may be a better word) these days.......

It might look dated but you can use it with your eyes shut.

True, and if you have used symbian before then you know how everything works and feels. You would think though that over time it would be stable and smooth, but another problem other than feeling dated is that it doesn't work ever well in the first place.

I must say, I like the Nokia N8, the big let downs are the absence of a physical keyboard, Symbian as opposed to Maemo 5 or that shadowy Meego (Maemo 6) and of course the relatively low hardware specifications by comparison with the Nokia N900.

I'm still tempted to get it but it wouldn't be my main phone as Ifeel its lacking quite a bit when compared with N900.


P.S. I can't believe Nokia are still clinging to Symbian as the OS of choice for it Smartphones, they should drop it and use the Android or more likely Maemo, they're both based on Linux but Maemo is Leagues in front Symbian dare I say, anything is nowadays.
