App Name:NetQuin MGard
Reviewed on: Nokia N8 Source: http://www.netqin.com/en/guard/symbian/ Homescreen Widget:No Cost: Free This touts itself as being antivirus for Symbian, but is much more I can filter your SMS, preserve them in a secure directory, provide backup, and scan your phone for unknown applications. It can help you monitor you Internet traffic (to catch malicious apps, or just managing you data allowance) It can give you better management of you applications - especially in stopping then from getting run at startup This last feature it what I wanted most - and I was able to route out a few apps that thought they needed to run every time I booted my phone |

Just an update from me...the nokia n8 is the biggest pos i have ever had the pleasure of smashing into the ground, throwing against the wall and bighting in half.... it froze up one too many times two days ago and suffered a fate worse than death.... a beige hissy mangulation and **** me if the alarm still hasnt gone off the last two mornings still (tough ph.. err it doesnt really resemble a ph much anymore).. So i have proceeded to smash it into the ground both mornings until alarm ceases....... Stay away from them EVEN IF THEY COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR FREE.... nothing in life is free BUT A NOKIA N8 will certainly give you the ***** FOR FREE... end of rant.. Thankyou... *note* this has been tapped out on old faithfull nokia slider...

Been happy with my N8-00 - it is the only 12mp camera with a phone option on the market.

I have to admit i made a terrible mistake keeping faith in nokia. Its a terrible phone. Ok let me fix that, the software is terrible bringing it down. That being said im stuck with it for another year or so.
So on topic. App Name:WRC APP Reviewed on: Nokia N8 Source: OVI STORE Homescreen Widget:No Cost: Free As nokia is a major sponsor of the WRC they made this app especially for it. If the internet on the phone actually worked half the time when i wanted it too it would be a decent app. Shows all the results and calender and is quite useful, considering i dont get much time to follow WRC like i used to. |

I have had mine for about 9 months or so now I think. Haven't had any problems with it. It could be a bit quicker, and I wish it had the signal strength of an E51 (blue tick phone), but other than that it is pretty good.

If you have not signed into Nokia Store recently do so soon.
There are 20 (roughly) apps for free as a "Gift". Seems to be a different range for each phone. Chance to get an app, that usually costs money, for free. |

There was a big update for the N8. Phone seems to be slower. The early versions seems to have had no improvement. For newer versions its a bit better (but runs slower). One problem I've noticed is that it won't get rid of the message indicator when you go into a sms...well it does it once you go into the message 2-3 times.
I think I might just go buy a HTC and use that for the rest of the contract.

trt - understand your grief .... please open a thread complaining about the N8. If you need to unload it I will gladly take it off your hands - ping me when you next commute as far north as Sydney.
I have installed Anna Performance has improved. The initial establishment of GPS location has halved its time. The text input is improved. The Maps solution has taken a mammoth step forward. Symbian Anna is the ducks nuts. ... but this thread is about Symbian Apps, so please disregard all except the comments about the Nokia Navigator. |

I've got a Nokia N8.
From my own personal experience the phone is slow and just generally terrible when I've got over 1500 text msgs roughly on my phone. Once I delete them all then the phone is perfect. IMO the best thing about the N8 is it's camera and video recording. At concerts and clubs it does a very good job with the sound |

I only posted to say there was an update (as it doesn't need a new thread IMO). I was hoping for better results and as the other half and both have N8's so I can see if either are improved. Not gonna start a whinge thread (as I've done it enough on here). I'll just get a good phone.

App Name: Best Profiles
Reviewed on: Nokia N8 Source: Ovi Store Homescreen Widget:No Cost: $4 I tried ovi situations and found it too feature rich for what I wanted. This one allows you to schedule profile changes - and return to previous state based on a calendar. I have several "No interruption" meeting each week, and have set these up as silent, and every evening switch to "Beep and Vibrate" for me sleep time. Also has ability to use GPS or cell data to change the profile (I have not tried this yet) |

I had noticed that "Microsoft communicator" had found it way onto my startup tasks - not sure if this was Anna, or something I installed.
I used the below app to disable it at startup time. I have seen my battery life bump up a little (to 26hrs from 24), and the phones reboot time dropped. Quote:
