I don't think it will be the last. Should be another 3 or 4 devices. Already there is a rumor about an 805 Symbian Belle device.
But 808 will have a special place in the Symbian line up of device though... Like the rest before it, like my first Symbian the 5800 is still active, use by another family member as well as N8.

I just checked Navifirm and there is a new firmware out version 112.20.311. Looks like my product code is there. We skip the 112.20.310 version. I wonder whether this will fix the 3G bug I mentioned earlier?

Waze ada, Whatsapps ada... Word game is Word Tiles. It is not as fancy as Word With Friends but fun enough and got a free and paid version. Free version got ads everytime you finish your move.

I use Nokia Social because it has a home widget that combines Twitter and FB. Not bad la coz you just want a quick glimpse to FB messages and Twitter messages.
Since I have two FB accounts, the other FB client I use is Facinate.

Someone over at FB said Nokia will launch special edition Pureview that will cost RM2k++.
Anyone hear about this? I would love if there is a back case that can be changed and colourful like the one they has for Lumia 710.

It is a special Symbian feature (ie alarm on although it is being switched off). Another special Symbian feature I think is Always On Clock (not for LCD or IPS screen though) that consumes little power.

I remember downloading an app for my Nokia 5800 that can switch off the phone at a certain time and then when the alarm triggered I will switch the phone on. Very handy to save battery and avoid from late night call.
But nowadays rarely turn off the phone because it acts as a clock as well.

Nokia Map lacks localized Point Of Interests like malsing. If I remember malsing uses free service of the community.
What I usually do, if Nokia Map does not find a place, is to check the destination I want to go with google map and then mark the place on Nokia Map.

Also, soon we will have another competition from Apple. Apple going to ditch Google Map on iOS in favour of their own mapping solution. But I don't think anyone can fight the king of search ie Google.

Added on July 25, 2012, 6:54 pmAbout playing HD movies. I have tried the 808 DLNA which you can stream contents to any DLNA-enabled TVs and other devices. It is a very nice feature where I can show pictures taken with Pureview, play music and videos. But I notice when playing videos that I recorded, there is shuttering. But when playing music videos I downloaded from YouTube, they work fine. Anyone know is this because of bit rate of the videos I recorded?

Both files are MP4. I use YouTube Downloader from Pico Brothers to save video files from YouTube. Have not tried using Mini HDMI to HDMI cable.

1.) Skype used to support video calling but since it was acquired by Microsoft, only support voice. But you still have front facing camera for the old fashion video call. May be can try Fring. It supports video call, I think, but the app itself has not been updated to support 808 yet.
2.) yes.
3.) No but few share monitoring app. I use to install one called Blue on my E6 but uninstalled it few months later since you have to pay to continue using.
4.) Not so sure.

I think that Nokia GPS lock in is quite good. Just that the technology to search is not perfected. You have to type the correct name for the destination you want to go.
Here Google has the advantage of leveraging its search technology.

Nice pics. How you got new firmware? Mine still 309. What's your product code?

I am a noob on flashing device here. Do you need to download all files from Navifirm to flash a Nokia device like 808?
