Old phone compared to todays phones but it is still one of the best Camera Phones on the market and has free lifetime GPS/Maps.

Would be a good travelling phone as you can use it in most countries and the camera and GPS would come in handy.

Since it is sold from JB HIFI as Australian Stock will come with 2 years Nokia Warranty!

$80 delivered is a bargain for this phone.

    I'm taking it you guys who got cancelled ordered this morning? LOL, why the frack did they open it up again after it was already sold out 30 mins after the op. Silly JB

      There are more apt adjectives than "silly".

    cant believe we all got so excited over a phone with 680mhz single core cpu and 256 mb of ram

  • ddhytz on 16/04/2013 - 14:51
    +3

    I guess that's because it has
    1) worldwild offline turn-by-turn navigation
    2) 1/1.8" camera sensor, Carl Zeiss lens, Xenon flash
    3) HDMI output
    4) USB OTG
    5) Panta band 3G
    6) SIP client VoIP
    7) FM transmitter
    ….
    None of existing phones on the market have all these features in a single unit.

    Some people do not need them but some do like them. Also you can resell it for 100% profit. :P

    • kangaroo on 16/04/2013 - 14:54

      8) SkyDrive Support
      9) FM Radio
      10) Direct USB data transfer

    • cannedhams on 16/04/2013 - 14:59

      1) There is software (incl free software) that can do this on other phones. Even cheapie cheap Nokias (such as e72) can do this.
      2) True
      3) True, but expect it to be a pain in the *rse with file formats. Specs say 720p H.264 but only at 30 fps. You cant expect a lot with a CPU this slow
      4) True, but meh
      5) Maybe a good thing if you travel a lot, otherwise, meh
      6) again, software can do this, you can expect that 1200 mah to drain faster than a bottle of vodka in a nunnery if you leave that client running
      7) true, would be handy in the car with a car charger

      Classic Nokia really. Plenty of hardware innovations, coupled with bog ordinary software.

      "None of existing phones on the market" except the discontinued PureView808?
      Soon after Nokia announced the death of 808, retailers in China increased its price by nearly $150, I was lucky to get 1 of the 7 remaining red units from Nokia's official Taobao store before the price hike.

  • pao2x on 16/04/2013 - 15:47

    JBHifi already debited my account and took payment for the other factory scoop deal and now they are cancelling delivery. They clearly state that they no payment will be processed until delivery is to be made but they took my money and is now not delivering.

    • kangaroo on 16/04/2013 - 15:53

      my bank account is debited too, no cancel email yet, when did you place the order?

    • ajdj10 on 16/04/2013 - 15:57

      Gerry Harvey taught them well.
      They got my money too!

    • Mugsy on 16/04/2013 - 18:15

      Yeah, they took my money too… better get it back before the end of this week.

      • Teddo on 23/04/2013 - 06:17

        no, not yet. Tues 23 April

    I wouldn't of gone for this old buggy software, much rather a newer phone tha'ts same price most are.

      Symbian Belle Refresh is not bad on the N8, looks similar to older Android and is more stable.

      Only thing missing is new APPS otherwise still a great phone.

  • itsfree on 16/04/2013 - 18:37

    Someone offered to swap me one of these with my Lumia 800 currently on Gumtree. LOL

    Ive Always wanted to try this phone, esp for the camera as ive heard its decent

    • kangaroo on 18/04/2013 - 00:58

      Thanks OP

      I have been reading about N8, this device is a like a gold mine with so many sweet surprises.

      This phone even has RCA output via headphone jack allowing you to watch content on SD TVs.

  • kangaroo on 18/04/2013 - 14:36

    Got mine, haven't opened it yet, good to see a car charger included as well.

    Price on box says $500 :)

  • unity1 on 18/04/2013 - 17:04

    Sydney orders delivered. Hopefully Melbourne orders will arrive tomorrow.

    It runs the symbian OS which is outdated. You won’t find many apps so I would not buy it.

    • caprimulgus on 18/04/2013 - 18:40

      not everyone cares about apps…

      my current phone (Nokia 808 PureView) also runs symbian. for me, the quality of the camera (41MP 1/1.2" sensor) and xenon flash FAR outweighs the lack of apps.

      the same applies for the N8, which also is a very good camera with xenon flash. it was my previous phone, and I would still be using it if i didn't have the 808.

      • GerrardLFC on 18/04/2013 - 23:05

        Yeah I do not care about APPS.

        The phones does everything I need it to do and I am happy.

        • easternculture on 18/04/2013 - 23:20

          same , the phone is a gold mine if you weigh its functionality against the price

  • kangaroo on 21/04/2013 - 13:58

    Folks, for those who bought the N8 …. how its going so far?

    I am super happy except for one little concern.

    I upgraded to belle and found it to be awesome, but on the internet I see numerous claims which states the Anna Camera pictures are better than pictures taken on Belle.

    Since I upgraded straight away, I am not sure whether this is the case.

    Have you folks upgraded to belle? What's your thoughts on belle photo quality?

    Right now I am not sure what I am missing in belle, the pics are great compared to my BB….

    • GerrardLFC on 21/04/2013 - 15:31

      Nothing wrong with Belle and photos.

      Have you updated to Belle Refresh?

      • kangaroo on 21/04/2013 - 16:12

        Yes did, I did updated Belle Refresh. I am happy with the photos….

        But the claim is that Anna photos and even better in quality…. Belle around 80% and Anna being 100% (especially in low light)

        I am at 111.040.1511, assume that is the latest version?

    • ddhytz on 21/04/2013 - 18:45

      On my previous N8 I did not notice much difference between Anna and Belle in terms of photo quality
      There are camera mods you could try to see if they make any difference.
      I have flashed mine with a custom firmware that includes camera-mods http://theonecfw.blogspot.com.au/ as I need non-english language support .

      • kangaroo on 21/04/2013 - 19:25

        Thanks for the info!

        Does flashing a phone void Nokia warranty?

        • ddhytz on 21/04/2013 - 20:01

          I assume so.
          But it can be flashed back to stock firmware - I haven't done that though.
