No. Actually its just like a replacement homescreen (aka launcher). Inside is still all symbian menu.

The ugly part is that the author only replace system app icon to WP like, while others like fmobi, whatsapp still retain their own icons. When you pin the tiles, a bit not uniform. Also the app list is also like WP, very messy. Hopefully the author will do something about it before Nokia Store closing.

His app is called EIGHT. There's a free version to try. Try it and see if you like it.

No, just let you experience Metro UI homescreen.

tried it, no like it.

uninstall already... maybe i am not used to it

You tried which?
There's another app called Start8, this is not good
The one shown by andreakua should be the app name "Eight"

Thanks. Pretty neat. Bought the full version.
Nifty little side effect - since it's a UI on top of symbian, it manages to hide the whatsapp new message notification. Let's see how the battery lasts with this.

You might want to update it. New v2.1 is released and some of the features I wished for were added.

Battery tile, option to hide unwanted app in app list, and few more. Feel so worth now.

Bought the real deal edi.

i think i want to buy this phone again for the camera purpose or u guys suggest me others?

for the sole purpose of camera, yes, the 808 is still the best cameraphone in this planet. even though lumia 1020 has the latest specs but when compared side by side, the 808's camera still outclasses the 1020.

L1020 too pricey and there's only limited 32GB storage, and not really latest spec, still way behind yet asking so much. There's rumor of the replacement for L1020 already.

Moreover, there're quite a number or people selling it. If just for the camera, one can get 808 at much much cheaper price and spend the rest of the money on a better smartphone (if one doesn't mind carrying 2 device) and also save on the primary phone battery.

i cant agree more with u. paying for almost 2.5k only for the 41mp camera whilst getting a one year old specs is quite absurd to me.

Go and buy other phone.

Even though this phone's camera is good, but will you carry 2 everywhere you go? 808 is a very decent phone, and not a smartphone. Its severely lacking everywhere.

The primary reason is that Nokia (or rather Microsoft) is going to close down Nokia Store tomorrow. Any application that did not send in updates, will not be updated forever. Its dead... albeit a slow one.

So if you rely on online services such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or whatever, you know these regularly update their API and with each updates, there's chances something went too far but since Nokia Store is closed down, you wont get any updates and nothing works anymore.

And no, Nokia havent updated 808 much ever since I bought it a year ago during Becazo offer.

RM1k is pretty steep price for a camera that can make calls. But if you got a Nexus 10/7 or whatever Android smartphone with NFC, you can still easily send the pictures over for great viewing.

A year ago I would say buy, but now... I think pay a bit more for something else.

btw thanks guys for the opinion.actually i got my current android device..so getting it then i can send the picture i snap using the 808 n send it via bluetooth to my android device n edit it since nokia photo editor sucks and limited.plus i got bunch of 808 apps saved in my laptop since i bought it before.this time getting the beauty in red since i got it white b4.this thing is a masterpiece n will nvr be forgotten.just microsoft want people to touch their shit then stop all possibilities of dev to update or make new apps.again thanks for the brilliant opinion guys
