i think sklchan mentioned previously that he'll be busy for a while..busy taking picture maybe

browsing using new easy prepaid digi connection quite fast!

Like some of you, my N8 also always connects to 3G/GSM (depending on what mode I set to, dual band or GSM only).
While it doesn't download anything (check the up/down counter in Connection Status) it gets annoying.
I have no widgets or push email that needs to connect, so still puzzled why it's always connected.

Thankfully battery life so far hasn't suffered from it. Charged till full last night (around midnight) and it's still at full bars now.
I did some calls, many sms, some web browsing, camera, and downloaded whatsapp and it's still full bar.

Whatsapp is pretty cool. One year of free sms via data/packet network. For those with unlimted data plans, it's another option for texting and chatting.

Another power saving tip: When you are idling/going off to bed, tap the battery icon and activate power saving mode.

wow.. How I wish symbian 1 had the power saving stuff.. I always put to offline mode coz scared radiation in my sleep

PyOse u wanna be next TS?434mhz is not enough...so what about 680mhz?enough??

power saving mode can save a lot?

Does the 3G sign have a little forward-backward arrow below it?

Connected 3G have little forward-backward arrow.

actually my experience on N8 battery is good.i would rate it as 60% which is considered pass.lol..maybe i get used of Satio,iPhone,SGS...all battery consumption is damm pretty fast...i always set volume at highest,brightness highest and deactivate the auto brightness but N8 unable to deactivate it...its kinda annoyed for me when the screen changing brightness while i accidentally put my finger on the sensor.

Compass. Ya n8 hav real compass in it like n97 instead of using gps?

lol..680mhz enough already..dont want be TS now..next month only free

I believe so, it is afterall called "power saving" mode.

Yup. 3G or Edge @ E. All have that fwd/bw arrow. Means it's connected. Check your connection status though to see if any data is transferred.
For me, there's none (unless I actually use the Internet or download stuff of course).

GPS chip is different I guess.

Yala yala... We all know u r change phone king la... .

Diable to auto adjust lighting ma ok lo...

thanks 4 the info!

virtual compass la..mana ada real compass integrated in phone like our old casio watch???lol...
