The original N8 comes with a screen protector which I have not bother to take it off because it doesn't seem to impact the screen color/sharpness etc.

But I was wondering, does it degrade the responsiveness and accuracy of finger input?

So you mean, with or without the original piece of clear protector film on screen, there is no difference in screen responsiveness etc?

Nokia announce official release of Anna on N8 in August 2011. And I got my telco contract N8 updated to Anna at that exact same month. So I would say that is very very fast instead especially considering it's an Telco set.

This is what I see....

Satellite view will incur data charge. Map view does not (assuming you have already downloaded the map using free Wifi).

While it is possible to get 170+MB with a brand new N8 on Symbian3, it impossible to get that on Anna. I think the maximum you can get is 110+MB. So how do you do that?

1. Go to OVI store to install exact same Shazam into your phone memory.
2. Uninstall Shazam (this time, there will be an option to uninstall which previously wasn't available)
3. Go to OVI store again to install Shazam but install to Mass Memory instead.

Personally, I hated mod because of security. I use my CC info on phone.

GPS (Nokia Maps free maps and navigation system) is the only thing no other phone including iPhone or Andriod has. And the only reason why I am still using Nokia.

I got 107MB without hacking anything. Clean Anna installation. Remove unwanted apps or move them to Mass Memory. Clean cache.

You mean, even with this official Belle, the N8's camera has been degraded. The only reasons I kept my N8 is due to the Maps and Camera.

I have found a possible reason why some N8 sucks battery. Here's the scenario:

1. You send an email with attachment.
2. Attachment file is pretty big....say 1.8MB. But still below the 2MB limit.
3. The N8 will takes hours or even days to send the email.
4. So in effect, your N8 is accessing Internet continuously non-stop and guess where your battery life went....

Been there. Done that.

This one don't look as sharp as the one you took with Anna. Is it?

I started off with Symbian 3 and now on Anna. It was a great jump in performance.

Does going from Anna to Belle having similar performance gain?

Now I only have 2 concerns left before jumping to Belle:
1. I must use Smart Office (for it's PDF reader, the default is a joke) and it doesn't seems to be listed as compatible.
2. Camera.

As for difference. Difference does not necessarily means faster and smoother performance. So are those better than Anna?

With Belle,

1. Photos seem to be stored in memory card instead of Mass Memory by default. So how to change change the photo storage directory back to Mass Memory?

2. It seems to deleted off all my previous photos in Mass Memory. Luckily, I have it manually backed up onto my computer but how to restore it back to Mass Memory?

I have a problem with Belle's Calender. I am not able to input any event/meeting into the dates. I go through inputting all those data and click "save". But nothing shown. Any idea?

How much phone memory are you people getting with Belle? I am getting 108

One more thing. I notice the Telco signal strength seem less than with Anna

How much free phone memory are you people getting with the Belle?

How come? N9 has bigger battery than N8 but with a bit bigger screen. But that shouldn't make such drastic difference.

As for Lumia, may be Window OS not so efficient or too many widget running non-stop?

Belle. When I switch off the N8, I can momentarily see how many % battery left at the top right hand screen.

Is there a way of checking battery % without switching phone off?

If it has built in, I do not want to install extra apps. The more thing running, the more problem. Hence my asking.
