Try reinstalling store.

Hacked N8s can get updates which aren't released yet.
Tedious process flashing over and over again, I would say.

I'm getting one tomorrow. It comes with Symbian 3; not the latest stuff.

It should have symbian anna upgrade by now. If its still using symbian ^3 make sure to update your phone by typing *#0000# and then option > check for updates

OK I will do that, thanks for the tip.

Step 1 before you start to do anything update your firmware FIRST if there no update try install nokia suite to check if any update is available
Step 2 Then hard reset your phone by typing *#7370#
Step 3 Then only start transfer your contacts / sms / files / music and etc


*i suggest not to restore previous backup to your brand new Nokia N8 if you have any

Good luck and congratulations in advance for your new Nokia N8.

To understand the true potential of your Nokia N8 here are some of my work using my Nokia N8 without post processing

I got mine that was manufactured 8 months before I got it. So if you get yours now in Jan-2012, you could be potentially be getting a phone that's manufactured in Jun-2011. No Anna in Jun-2011.

Got my phone 1 day early. Following all the steps outlined by aspire2oo6 to update and reset. Taking forever to install the updates. Do I need to take the warranty card to a Nokia service centre to register or can I do it online?

no need, the zitron/avaxx sticker will be enough. just bring over ur phone to NCC.

...if i'm not mistaken

Thanks for your reply, is there any way to transfer my sms to my new n8?
I have .xml file from my old android phone..

Making the transition from a dinosaur era Nokia to the N8 is not easy!

And calling up the Nokia Careline was painful - got a lady with a strong filipino accent, can barely make out what she was saying.  Looks like their call centre is in Manila or somewhere else in the Philippines.  I've found it much easier to talk to people in call centres located in Bangalore!

why?

Like troglodyte stepping into the 21st century lor.

from 3310 to N8, of course got many step ..

even from S40's phone to N8 , there are many step too...

if symbian phones [Nokia] , no problem

Aiyoyo, not that teruk lah. I'm transitiong from a 2330c-2. Never owned a smutphone before.

yeah, that is standard operating phone [codename = S40]



no card slot is a pain...

err...i thought malaysia have their own nokia care centre? :0

maybe i kena a filipino lor

i don't think making call to the NCC will do any help, just physical bring it in as all those on call tech will talk rubbish...

The filipina lady said no need to do anything. She knew what she was talking about; asked for my phone number, name etc and then I presumed checked in their database. The problem was my brain had to go into overdrive to make out what she was saying. I think the warranty is automatically activated once you set up the phone. The device info and tools screen on Nokia Suite will tell you if your warranty is valid or not.
