Anyway , wanna ask that most of you guys are using Ovi Suite to transfer files? Or directly just go into My Computer and N8's location and then paste?

i'll just copy paste direct... ovi suite is more of a backup for me

Cause i'm guessing that i'm using Copy paste directly is the one giving me problems. I'll try Ovi Suite now , see if its giving me such problems again or not.

Anyway , you transfer your music files into Sounds > Digital?
not sure.. i don't transfer any music files so far :-) only photos and videos...

a quick share before going for lunch.. close up mode, no flash, full digital zoom... a bit more noise due to low light but that can be easily removed using proper tools

lol how stable? my opinon tripod kinda useless for phone camera except taking self photo

useful for macro or product shoot since u can prefocus and set timer.. to reduce handshake... probably also for night scene... if only N8 can control shutter speed, then long exposure shoot will be very nice too smile.gif

why is this question appearing again  =.=
there will be no difference, maybe 2nd batch will have the newer firmware version, but 1st batch can also upgrade as soon as it's out
*
maybe these ppl are spooked by the so called dead N8 issue on some of the unlucky owner? how would one know that it's even 2nd or 3rd batch? besides the firmware version unsure.gif unsure.gif .. just as an analogy: does the "2nd batch" of proton wira better than the first? hmm... maybe that's not a good analogy after all laugh.gif laugh.gif hardware wise, so such a big company like Nokia or any major phone company out there, there is a standard QC in place no matter where it's manufactured.. i doubt Nokia want to risk it's reputation in compromising on the QC after such a long delay in shipment...

because that day when i place order, the guys told me maybe have to wait few days because 1st batch stock limited. then after that he called me to collect my phone as 2nd batch is arrived.. they got priority 1st because they r big company:)
*
so your 2nd batch refer to the "shipment" to the company where you purchase your phone, right? not 2nd batch from Nokia factory itself?? that "2nd batch" could be the only mass initial shipment of N8 to malaysia for all you know biggrin.gif

i seriously don want him to misguide the whole thread into "mine is second production batch from factory instead of shipment batch, and it performs better then first batch despite same hardware spec and firmware version"

hahahaha.... exactly.. 2nd batch of shipment to some particular store is SO SO MUCH DIFFERENT from 2nd production batch from factory...

Mobile phone camera technology havent reach that stage yet. The zoom still digital. Wait till they find a way to squeeze optical lens into popular phones that the day its the day. I know SE and samsung already have but never became popular
I think this is less than 10cm closeup

With sufficient lighting, N8 performed well wth one of the best PNS digicam  rclxms.gif  but not during nite shooting due to lack of manual options  sad.gif

the WB for N8 and canon is diff.. both set as AWB? canon seems warmer...

Bro search google there is a lot of N8 user on the net report same problem as mine..some of them already up to hard reset already but problem still not solve...if I were in us or europe i can replace it for another phone or full refund...i think the main culprit is the new Sosial networking software...it all happen after i update the latest 1.2 version...now i already uninstall that software...so far still waiting for stability...there no way you can get new sosial software from ovi store...but i manage source it from else were but still happen after i reinstall it...now no sosial or facebook for my N8

moral of the story...do not update the latest application update from Nokia...it suck....

well, i guess it's bad luck for you then... a lot of ppl here already updated the social network but never encounter issue like yours...

I also got my Celcom's message to install settings. My num is celcom. hmmm .. im unhappy bout the month tagged as 10. Will nokia center go by receipt date or the month ticked on the sticker?

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Nov 2 2010, 12:46 AM)
For previous nokia phones its your warranty void sticker and your IMEI no. For nokia N8 its the first phone from nokia with build in battery. Warranty card is not necessary but just in case just bring it.
Its best you call nokia care centre tomorrow to confirm your question

QUOTE(ashwin988 @ Nov 2 2010, 06:55 AM)
Yeah I wanted to know that as well, the back sticker with the Sirim and Imei number is just plain annoying. Honestly and now I just need to know if i can remove it already sad.gif. Will contact the Nokia Care center people today and confirm this. Anyway guys, where is the nokia carecenter located? The one in KL?
*
the best way to check is to call NCC, give them your IMEI number and they will let you know when is your warranty end.. if it's earlier than your purchase date and *touch wood* you need to claim it, then bring along your receipt....
btw, i've called NCC one week after i got the phone and confirmed that my phone (and my colleague) warranty is till Nov 2012 thumbup.gif
