I think the Nokia N8 is a great phone, I love the quality of materials and of course his wonderful camera. a feature that I like is that it can read USB memory and has FM transmitter.
But I’m not too sure about the good performance of the new Symbian OS, this phone I think it would be better with android, I think I will wall a for the E7

Thank you for a good and useful review.

The days of using any available charger to power, or charge any physical, plug and socket, compatible device are long gone.
Elecrical current and voltage requirements of devices such as smart phones are very different from the relatively modest needs of devices from only a few years ago.

It would be helpful if you could say if the USB charger you were using to charge this device was certified compatible with the Nokia N8?

It appears from your answers to commentators that you choose a charger that happened to be available from a different manufacturer than Nokia (Android phone)?

Both the physical and electrical specifications of the device and the charger should be checked for compatibility before use on any “smart device”, these days to avoid such disappointment. A simple physical check that the plug and socket sizes “fit”, is no longer sufficient to guarantee success.

While the European USB standard may be a worthy initiative, it will take many years to replace the millions of non-standard chargers currently in use. To say nothing of alternative “standards”, that may appear from other world trading groups.

Hi Guys,

I came across a website (http://www.smartphoneloans.co.uk) claiming that they fund the UK residents to buy smartphone /mobile phones. What do you think?

Could it be that it needs more power than your other phone with the micro USB?
The iPad i borrowed off a mate needed more charge than the USB hub I normally charge my phone from could give, it was very fussy. And apple’s connector is a fancy USB lead…
iphone 3GS is a bit fussy too, won’t charge from a cheap car charger for instance

Will there be a White Nokia N8? Then I’d buy 3. Lime Green and Black N8s, too. Best phone ever.

My apologies for the use of the word estimated and the double submission. I digress.

Thank you for this link Derek on that Nokia conversation.
I do hope you come back. Your statement, “The N8 is not the last Symbian N-series device.” isn’t exactly true with the use of the word “not,” implying a definite.
To articulate what your link to the article said was, “a possibility or strong possibility.” Here in lies the problem. There is a difference between speculation and confirmation. The word, “possibility” is but speculation and not confirmation. It isn’t concrete or set in stone. It isn’t a definitely in plain black and white or clear as day yes. It is but a possibility or up in the air grey area. Where we either haven’t made up our mind yet or we don’t want to scare you away by letting you know what our real intentions are so we will use the word, “Possibility.”
I would liken this to a business contract or in court standing in front of a judge. On a contract, it is more reassuring to have an estimated timeline or a definite verses a possibility for let’s say the completion of a manufactured good.
In court, it doesn’t play in your favor to answer a judge with possibly instead of a definite yes or no.
But you seem to be a knowledgeable individual. My issue is not with Symbian itself but Symbian upgradeability. If you have information I don’t, can you tell me if the N8 which will be released with Symbian 3, be upgradeable to Symbian 4 down the road. Or will it be a $500 paperweight stuck with Symbian 3, a one shot deal, while the whole world moves on to Symbian 4 and so on with Nokia’s future phones.
I would love for people to buy 2 nokia N8′s in lime green and black. That would help me out a lot in breaking even with my of shares of Nokia stock, I just hope it isn’t the case where, “A fool and his gold are soon departed.”
