Some thoughts on N8

1. Swype on landscape mode is no fun. Who thought that not including qwerty in portrait mode is a good idea?
2. No smart dialing??? Adoi... this is 2010-lah.

I can't start the phone for 30mins today 5 days old only.
It'll boot up to home screen, then freeze and then turn off by itself.

Hope it's not a mobo problem or anything.

And not having a smart dialer like any other modern phones is damn annoying when I need to quickly make a call. The next update better have qwerty for portrait mode too.

Erm... can't pinch zoom on Opera 10?

My first real effort in taking a shot with the N8:

How to set macro?
Also, is it possible to tweak settings in how the software compresses the jpeg?

I think he's trying to pay via Phone Bill.

Shouldn't it be +016 instead of +6016 ?

Just cause it's tough doesn't mean it can't be damaged at times.

my device just switched off a couple of times when using gps and surfing the net. Overheating issue? Should i take it back to the shop and exchange for another phone?

Tried macro. Didn't turn out that well. Seems like I can't really focus on objects around 2 inches away from the phone.

What's PR 1.1?

Does your N8 sometimes freezes for 1 minute when playing games? I was playing Angry Birds and then the screen just freezes.

Gaaaaaaah. Damn frustrated. Angry Birds keep freezing after playing about 20mins. It now just freeze and after about 30 seconds, the phone shuts down.

All my games and softwares are legit from Ovi Store, btw.

How lah?

When buying N8, make sure to ask for freebies

I got:
BH100 (salesperson try to bullshit saying it's worth RM399)
Nokia Notebook
Capdase gel case (imitation, I think)

Alamak. My N8 switched off by itself and now cannot start

How now? Or is there some way to revive the N8?
Sending this to NCC means I'll be without a phone for my office work...

Haha. Staff don't get any special phone deals lah.

The way I see it, there's 3 options for me:

1. Send to NCC/dealer and wait for goodness knows how long.
2. Ask dealer to change a new unit for me. Don't know how likely this is gonna happen.
3. Ask dealer to change to a phone from a different brand.

What do you think? But damn kacau lah. Means I'll need to take time off from work to sort this crap out.

Thing is, I'm worried that the N8 will fail on me when I really need it the most. Not the first time it decides to switch itself off but this is the first time it refuses to power on. Imagine I'm in Timbaktu and require GPS to navigate my way or need to make emergency calls and my phone decides to call it quits. No amount of 12 megapixels awesomeness is gonna justify having a phone that bricks time and again.

Nope. Hard reset didn't work. I guess I'll have to spend xmas eve trying to sort out this phone issue instead of happily shopping. Thanks Nokia.
