Where will you be ordering yours?

I'm ordering mine from Clove.co.uk or Handtec.co.uk Whichever gets the Blue N8 in first :D (although my itch to get an N8 asap is making me 2nd guess my colour choice and telling me to grab a black one now since its available)




For those that don't know Symbian allows user customization and quite a few iphone/android users harp about how they don't like the look of the N8s UI

Well here's an app just released that allows you to customize the UI and even add up to 5 Homescreens (rather than the 3 stock HS) does a lot more than that have a look thru

here's a video


Here's a list of some of the available add-ons mods you can do to the SPB app

http://forum.dailymobile.se/index.php?topic=23964.0 you can make the UI look just like a Android phone or the Iphone or design your own!

READ! PURCHASING AN N8 GIVES YOU FREE MUSIC (MP3) DOWNLOADS FROM OVI MUSIC UNLIMITED FOREVER!!!!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY YOUR N8 FROM EUROPE THE N8s SOLD IN THE STATES DON'T OFFER OVI MUSIC

I don't know HOW Nokia could neglect advertising this


not a big deal if you download your music from ahem elsewhere but if you wanted to stay legal than SCORE


Nokia Music Edition phones usually cost more money than the non-music editions but the N8 includes Music

one more question before i order it. So they wont charge me tax at all? the price i see is the price i pay? No surprises when it arrives at my door? or will i have to pay Canadian tax on the phone as well

no no no you'll probably have to pay HST and 6% duties (however if you get them to mail it Royal Mail International you might not get charged taxes depends on your luck)

its just that they won't charge you UK Taxes (20%) some sites charge you the VAT anyhow

try not to choose FedEx as the option because you'll get charged insane Brokerage Fees (with clove.co.uk you'll have to checkout with paypal to be able to choose Royal Mail)

If ordering a phone from the UK is not a concern, shopblt ships via USPS (Canada Post) which you will avoid all custom and duties.

yes shopblt is in the US though so you won't get free unlimited music downloads and you won't get a Made in Finland unit and you're limited to the black grey or green unit

which is fine if none of those are a concern (but im looking for a blue one and a made in finland one)

and a + for shopblt is its Cheaper by a lot

I do not see the option to select a specific colour for clove.co.uk. Is this option available after checkout?

hmm awesome im probably gonna put in a preorder soon then. PRices for the Uk sites are in pounds?

clove only has the option for the Dark Grey one at the moment because they're not sure which colours will be coming in (they say they'll update their options when stock comes in; which should be Oct. 22-25)


and yeah the UK sites prices are in GBP (Pounds) if you can find a European online store the prices will be in EUR and be cheaper than the UK (but i havent been able to find em)

There are reports and picture evidence that some N8s are loosing their colouring (this is in regards to the black/dark grey N8s) as we know anodized alumminum products can have their colours warp or even fall off (bad batch of dye etc heat exposure chemical or gas or uv exposure)

aww theres a flaw. lame. any links to it? wanna like see everything before i order it. Tried googleing it. nothing tho.

so far all it is is 1 picture

whether or not that guy brought chemicals to it or something is unknown

if you can read dutch http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/...ges/1406510/40 check the thread out (i can't btw)

It looks like IF there's a batch problem it's only an issue with the Dark Grey units (as those are the only one's we've seen/heard an issue with) it could be the Dye used to get that colour sucks or the sealing agent they used was applied incorrectly etc.




here's a separate video though to check out though



and check out this Alternative User Interface you can download soon


There are other user interfaces you can download from other companies but SPBs looks the coolest (i posted a video to SPB 3.7 above but this is the newest one in Beta stages)

new toy on my hand ( Nokia N8-00 )

just got it for 2 days in HK... pretty crazy camera i can said.. i will post up the pictures later that i took with this phone at night :)

awesome! maybe a mod can just merge it into the N8 thread?




do you know if they have the Blue ones available in HK se3p-t?? and how much did you get it for?


I want to get a blue one but it looks like no1 will have stock until near the end of November or later -_-

Ok so it sounds like (not sure) but the unit that was losing colour is a very early prototype unit

as the person who has the problem says he's had the phone for over a month... but the phone wasnt released (at most) 2 weeks ago in certain parts of the world

ohh i guess thats a relief i guess

you must be a fob

Pre-ordered the dark grey from shopblt. Still debating whether to stick with this colour or the white/silver, but the silver has a huge back-order date.
Blue or orange would be sweet if it's available before the delivery date.

GSMArena did some more comparisons

all these videos..bwahaha

oh hai! Nokia N8 in my hands(torch camera really sucks..sorry, but it was busy...)

Overall, typical Symbian...its not as snappy as some of the other great phones, but to a well educated Symbian user, this phone will be great!

The nokia rep told me its Super AMOLED..but i hear its NOT...unless the NA version is...
the coolest thing would be... the ON THE GO thumbdrive adaptor. plug the small cable into the microUSB, plug your thumbDrive on the other end, BAM..INSTANT file transfer! makes access to files easy!

No its just AMOLED

but when you look at the screen comparos that are out (think i linked some too) the screen holds its own if not trumpings some samoleds


what sucks though is that it doesnt include Nokias CBD (clear black displays) which are gorgeous (supposedly they should be able to implement it but i guess not)


where did you get yours?

not mine, was at a work event where NOKIA had a booth setup
i spent a good 10min with this thing

ah cool

I'm wondering how would the Ovi Music Unlimited work since there's no Canadian store, would they let us download from the UK site?
