I bought the Nokia C7 a few days back, and it hanged more than 10 times on the first day!

I did a google search, and it turns out that hundreds of other people are experiencing the same problems:

1. Phone hangs then restarts after a few seconds ( Hang a few times on camera i face before)

2. Unable to download and/or use apps from the Nokia OVI Store ( Never face such issue)

3. Worst one - phone hangs, shuts down, then cannot be started up again for a while, like 30 minutes to a few hours ( Never face such issue)

These problems occur VERY frequently.

Apparently Nokia rushed the launching of these phones to compete with Android based phones before complete testing has been done, so the software is still in its early stages. No sign of when the new software version will be released.

You can check out this forum to see some of the complaints and Tim Allen, Product Manager of the C7 itself posts about the phone:

P/S: The C7 is REALLY nice to use, touch screen is responsive, interface is smooth and beautiful, so if you really want one, I suggest you wait until the problems are fixed.

According to the top manager the necessary manufacturing changes have been effected, but improved phones will go on sale by the end of January or the beginning of February. They will be manufactured at the end of November or in December of 2010. Whether Nokia managed to solve the issue remains to be seen, but as of December 2010 Nokia will start producing handsets free of defects.

small matter...it didn't stop 5800 from being a top seller despite having defective 1st batch earpiece prob.

defective earpiece is different than N8's dead brick..

according to Eldar, it seems that N8 is like a timebomb lottery waiting to happen to any N8.. not sure how true is that..
