... The software is a big construction site. In my case the unit has around 10 hours work before it crashed and never again (!!) turn left. Who is on the web reads happens en masse and Nokia ignored the problem or expresses not even to them.
The potential interested party may judge for themselves whether they want to engage in as a beta test
Addendum:
After the now 2nd exchange I now have a N8 running stable. Certainly the N8 is multitalented and has interesting components qualitatively ok but not outstanding (including the highly acclaimed 12MP camera is below average), but the software remains the major flaw or more construction this smartphone. Constantly you have to repeatedly tap the touch panel, because the software does not come with the processing of individual steps afterwards (sometimes lands you a menu further, sometimes waiting is stupid if the touch has arrived at phone), window broke long before they open , the browser you sleep soon until he has a page full charge (other N8 users I put the Opera browser to the heart, quickly and intuitively) the T9 speech recognition is times and times not, the position sensors operate inaccurately etc. etc.
Especially annoying when the price is cheap display. The disc is not anti-reflective and highly scratch prone (There was my 0815-Nokia mobile phone which I had been better to classes). The N8 in the pocket or with other objects? If you steer clear, otherwise you have the first rubbish on the display. Who thinks it necessarily having to buy, definitely buy a case which protects the display. Nokia you get by the way, except for the replacement of defective equipment, any help or comments to the site N8
Conclusion:
The concept is not bad, processing is rather below average because inferior components are used and the software is absolutely not mature. I would call the software Beta version, tend ready for use but with massive bugs.
A BUY recommendation I can not pronounce so
