Sorry to put a spanner in your works, but my black N8, sourced from e-Mobile but with no SIM lock (or network customisation), has product code 059C5Q8 too

The reason I said i think, was because this isnt an networks model, but an early version realised, so different networks had it, was just mostly on o2

yeah you need to leave it running alright in the settings you can set when you want it to check for mail etc. if you add mail to the home screen it should give you a option to select it?

Davy

Just click hide and it will run in the backround. You can set the sync intervals in the options to every 5 mins to 2 hours, and then what days in the sync schedule. Its a bit more adaptive then nokia mail but wont work with as many accounts

donkey balls

Lads have any of you bought the phone on Three and if so could you update to the new firmware even with the Three software on the phone.

twitter
anybody have this on there phone
any shortcuts to have this on homescreen
new to this social network lark,just doing a study on it
its a bit crappy having to go into the social app to login and get tweets and you have only to operator to choose from on the twitter site which is also crap

Davy

Gravity is the probably the best one for twitter > http://store.ovi.com/publisher/mobileways.de/

Ye but least you can have it on trial first, you dont have to throw a tenner away and then not like it.

kmart6

Yeah I know that...but €10 for an app kust for twitter is a bit excessive!

Took the plunge and got this phone in the end as it was only 40 quid. I'm coming from an N97 and so far so good with it!

Questions:
1) Other than two posts way back in the thread I can't find many app recommendations. Let us know if you all have any!
2) Is there no quick way to link your contacts to facebook etc with the social networks thingy? Seems like I have to do them one by one and the search never finds them that quick.

Initial Comments:
It's smooth although I have to confess maybe a little bit slower than I expected!
Not having a keyboard will take getting used to after the N97.
Absolutely love having a GPS that finally works and doesn't seem to eat as much battery as N97 did while using it
Watched the demo videos that came on it and quality is excellent.
Battery life seems great so far.
Won't connect to Nokia bluetooth in my car yet which is kinda annoying!
Camera quality is top notch.
Phone has a lovely "feel" about it!
Will post more when I've played with it more!

hi lads, been following this thread for a while and finally got an N8 myself, good phone a few small problems one of which seems to be the wifi, i'm with 3 and have the 2gb free but when i connect to the wifi at home through the connectivity it always seems to come up connecting to 3(01) and downloading it from my free data, if anyone can help i would appreciate it,
thanks in advance

Dunno if this will help, but you could try making your WLAN the first-choice access point:

Settings > Connectivity > Settings > Destinations > Internet

Change the priority of the access points to make your WLAN first-priority: Long-press on your WLAN and choose "Change priority", then tap the first item in the list of WLANs.[/QUOTE]
this is from a krisw posted way back.
sorry krisw

superspark

yes i have the wlan set to priority 1 and 3(01) is priority 2, i have also tried disconnecting 3(01) and then going on through the wlan and it automatically reconnects through 3(01)

Is it all apps or one particular app ? If it's one app then maybe it has stored the connection point somewhere in its settings ?

deco nate

in settings,(data in home network)set it to wlan only

i think thats your problem,set your (3)network to priority 2,why does it have the (01)
there?
donno but i think 01 is sharing priority 1,only thing i can think of you set
it up wrong.
davey or krisw will help you better than i can,sorry my man
