Well, I used N8 for close to a year. I was really satisfied with its 12 MP camera. What I did not realise was I paid a bomb to buy this good looking phone back in 2011. The speed was a paltry 680Mhz which later got tweeked to 800 Mhz whereas few phones were available at the same time for 1.2Ghz. Now it has touched 1.5Ghz which is a different issue.
Though Nokia intially announced about lot of Software Updates, later when it diverted its attention to Lumia range, stopped all the proposed ones like Carla and Donna. It only had Belle.It had customisable 6 Screens.
I liked the UI and the features like expandable memory but what I did not like was the battery which was sealed. Couple of times, my battery hanged and it made me to weight till the power was completely turned off to restart it which was a night mare since I could not use it for almost a day on both the occassions.
May be this was avoided by Nokia.Its Steel Body however gave a Chic Look and it did not get over heated though used for hours.Battery duration was comparatively good. Now that I use a Lumia, I found this phone stayed far behind in all the functions except the Camera.
