yea....check out for us.....but don't have to swim....take a bus would be nice and easy

Speed boat ^^

lol...I remember I never left..sure I join the party...

both also not fast enuf.

half where there.

errr...I think its a bit of scratch "resistant" then that...lol...

Anyone noticed that the blue n8 cover , the "Nokia" word is below of the camera while the others is just below the camera?

Green / Model = Preview units (aka Prototype)?

Blue case = Actual case taken from factory?

haha didn't notice that probably early prototype of just a plate sample...

seem like the colour is implant in the casing that is really impresssive

why the pic show by BuFung is like paint on the surface of the casing.....from the pic we can see the colour peel off and show the silver colour casing underneath

the printing on the blue cover seem different from the other 2.....after market product maybe

Not sure either , most of the pictures we've seen is that the Nokia word is just below the camera.

Which ranger on d way to sg get a unit?

i don't think real N8 already reach SG....should be china N8 or that shopkeeper blow water

Black Ranger, not u ah??

by the time i get there....johor ranger already do the job for me

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing

Aluminium alloys are anodized to increase corrosion resistance, to increase surface hardness, and to allow dyeing (coloring), improved lubrication, or improved adhesion. The anodic layer is non-conductive.[3]

When exposed to air at room temperature, or any other gas containing oxygen, pure aluminium self-passivates by forming a surface layer of amorphous aluminium oxide 2 to 3 nm thick,[4] which provides very effective protection against corrosion. Aluminium alloys typically form a thicker oxide layer, 5-15 nm thick, but tend to be more susceptible to corrosion. Aluminium alloy parts are anodized to greatly increase the thickness of this layer for corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of aluminium alloys is significantly decreased by certain alloying elements or impurities: copper, iron, and silicon,[5] so 2000, 4000, and 6000-series alloys tend to be most susceptible. Some aluminium aircraft parts, architectural materials, and consumer products are anodized. Anodized aluminium can be found on mp3 players, flashlights, cookware, cameras, sporting goods, window frames, roofs, in electrolytic capacitors, and on many other products both for corrosion resistance and the ability to retain dye. Although anodizing only has moderate wear resistance, the deeper pores can better retain a lubricating film than a smooth surface would.

Anodized coatings have a much lower thermal conductivity and coefficient of linear expansion than aluminium. As a result, the coating will crack from thermal stress if exposed to temperatures above 80 °C. The coating can crack, but it will not peel.[6] The melting point of aluminium oxide is 2050 °C, much higher than pure aluminium's 658 °C.[6] (This can make welding more difficult.) In typical commercial aluminium anodization processes, the aluminium oxide is grown down into the surface and out from the surface by equal amounts. So anodizing will increase the part dimensions on each surface by half of the oxide thickness. For example a coating that is (2 μm) thick, will increase the part dimensions by (1 μm) per surface. If the part is anodized on all sides, then all linear dimensions will increase by the oxide thickness. Anodized aluminium surfaces are harder than aluminium but have low to moderate wear resistance, although this can be improved with thickness and sealing.

Guys,

There would be a delay on the official launch according to the news below:

Nokia N8 UK Release Date Delayed

The reasons that made Nokia to push back the release date of Nokia N8 in UK could be because the phone’s software might need a little more work. This means that the Symbian^3 OS that Nokia wants to release isn’t ready to be released in the world. Here’s some key features of the upcoming Nokia N8 with Symbian^3 OS :

1) a 12MP camera
2) Ovi Maps 3.0
3) 16GB storage space
4) GPS with A-GPS support
5) 3.5 inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen
6) 3.5mm Audio Jack
7) support for 720p video capture



Somehow, it's a good thing though. At least they rectify it before the official launch. If not, sure kena sabo kao kao...

wow.. delay AGAIN......

Arrrrr......delay again...nokia din't pay overtime from thoes software programmer

Like I care.

the body itself should be doing fine... except metal object scratch....

donno about the button, the bottom cover(metal or plastic?)......
