Gorilla glass is TOUGH but it did not mention it's scratch-proof. So put SP on your N8, it's better late than never Of course, scratch resistant =/= scratch proof ....I don't really care about the front screen as I have SP.... but I was referring to the glass on the camera lens on my earlier post sklchan, Yea, need a lint free cloth to be around ... but i normally just use my shirt This post has been edited by hsyong: Oct 25 2010, 01:55 PM

Added on October 25, 2010, 1:56 pm hehe yah.. lint free is good... but when no choice kain biasa jadi lah... janji lap sui sui then snap sui sui photos... Just in case anyone's wondering, the glass on the camera is scratch resistant (i thinks it's confirmed by Damian Dinning) ... it's a relief, because we can't slap on a SP on the camera lens

On my way Senior Member 589 posts Joined: Jul 2008 From: Penang	For those with problems, check your firmware, is it v10 or v11 (011.012) ? There seems to be some sets still on v10. *#0000#

On my way Senior Member 589 posts Joined: Jul 2008 From: Penang	QUOTE(WaytoDawn @ Oct 28 2010, 08:23 PM) From my personal experience, I've had no major problems whatsoever regarding the phone. Thank god. The most is just widgets that do not seem to be responding but thats a rare case la. Overall, I'd say my N8 is pretty stable. So getting it now should be quite alright. Of course, play around with it first before you buy la. Just to make sure everything is in place and works seamlessly. Me too. Nothing critical, just occasional freezing of the social/fb widget (but other parts of the phone still works). Anyway, the widget hasn't freeze after update to new version yesterday.. at least not yet

Maybe you can restart your phone and see. (Make sure your phone can connect to internet tho... and I think the download is about 2.5MB) This post has been edited by hsyong: Oct 28 2010, 08:51 PM
