Have the unit at eBay bought a second hand shop where I have already bought many other smartphones. Bin so far always get along quite well. The price is usually significantly lower than the here on Amazon and the quality is right too. So much only in advance.
When I got the Nokia N8, the Symbian Anna version was installed. Have it after I had the latest Nokia Suite installed on my laptop, connected via USB to the notebook and several updates, including the Symbian Belle version installed. Really easy even for a diehard Android users like me who still had reservations about the Symbian operating system. Since then Belle is up-played, it reminds me of its structure very much of Android smartphones. For example, the tie-down status bar, by which you can reach a number of important functions directly. Meanwhile, everything works over just a click, not like it used to partially cumbersome than 2 clicks. Android I personally Although total more intuitive, but I have to admit that Nokia has done its homework with regard to the criticism in recent years and has made a really nice operating system on its feet. Respect! So definitely upgrade to Belle. It is worth it. Everything runs smoothly, although the hardware is not exactly the strongest (eg the 680 MHz CPU). But do not worry: Is similar to Apple a well tuned system of software and hardware. Fits very well!
I will no longer write so much, because they are already displayed correctly in many good reviews about the extra features. It is the facilities very good (12 megapixel cam with real xenon flash, Ovi Maps, HDMI, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc.) and can in fact still keep up on this point with many current Android smartphones. The camera is even better than most models I had in recent times. These included devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S Plus or the HTC Sensation. Both models could not keep up with the N8 in the camera definitely.
Will the N8 certainly longer retain as many other models that I had in the past few years, as it has a good mix of quality workmanship (much metal and Gorilla Glass), an intuitive operating system convinced me (with Belle) and great multimedia features.
Who can do without the extreme App selection in the Android Store (selection is nevertheless be described as good, in my opinion), but still looking for a very well-equipped smartphone with good service, this is the place. Currently have yet as a great Android model, the HTC One S, which due to the much newer hardware is of course faster. Like to have different devices also completely different operating systems, because you learn so appreciate the advantages of each system. There are, in my view, moreover, not a perfect operating system. One only has its own needs be aware of and be open to all operating systems. Each has its pros and cons, about one should be always aware.
Overall, for me, although Android in the lead, but the N8 has nevertheless convinced me as a complete package. Therefore 4 stars and a buy recommendation from me !!!
