Data charges from network operators may apply.Voice Guidance and Traffic InformationTurn-by-turn, voice guided navigation comes free for both drivers and pedestrians. For drivers this includes lane assistance, traffic information, safety camera, and speed warnings. For pedestrians, this includes shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones for over 100 cities around the world as well as 6,000 3D landmarks in over 200 cities to help you find exactly where you are.Unique Hybrid TechnologyOvi Maps is built on an advanced technology called hybrid vector maps. Vector maps are high quality but less data intensive and allow you to continue to navigate even if you lose your network connection. This means that maps downloaded or updated across a network connection are about half the size of bulky bitmaps used by other mobile map providers. The hybrid technology ensures that, unlike other providers, any downloaded map data is stored on the device for future use.No Network Connection Required When NavigatingAvoid expensive, battery-draining network connections with Nokia's unique hybrid technology. Maps can be pre-loaded on to your Nokia smartphone so you can set Ovi Maps to offline mode, saving battery power, and the navigation system will still work. This is particularly useful for those worried about data connection costs when travelling abroad or when you are travelling through areas with little or no network coverage.Best Global CoverageYou take your mobile with you wherever you go in the world so, as standard, voice guided navigation for both pedestrians and drivers is available for 74 countries in 46 different languages and there are maps for over 180 countries. This gives you the best maps with the largest global coverage for free.

Review: Surprisingly good - A bit of an introduction: I'm a retired computer professional, having written software and managed software projects for 45 years. I have been a vocal critic (on the Nokia forums) of Nokia's software failings in recent years (I had an E71, a beautiful piece of hardware, and my wife had an E62 and a 5800). Most of my objections were to their pathetic ovi.com website, the attempt to replace PC Suite with something else named ovi (which broke something that wasn't broke! I suspect "ovi" is Finnish for "full of bugs"), and their penchant for issuing "upgrades" that introduced more problems than they fixed. I had a two-year fling with Android, where I saw a serious mobile system gradually turn into a circus act; the latest version of Android on the top Samsung phones looks like a video game to me. They are obviously targeting the young, which is probably a smart business decision. But if you are a mature adult who wants a serious appliance that helps to keep you organized and to communicate via voice and message, all of this extraneous nonsense is a distraction and an annoyance. Yes, some of what bothered me could have been customized away, but there were other issues that led me to conclude that the latest Android was not for me. I had watched, with interest, the introduction of the N8 by Nokia and its impressive specifications, and the subsequent tribulations of the product, plagued by problems that resulted in too many dead devices. But two years after its introduction, with the price dropping and unhappy with the direction of Android, I decided to buy one. I've had the phone now for a little over a month, and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. First of all, the hardware. It is typical Nokia, just beautifully made. It makes a difference, as it is not only a pleasure to hold something well-made, but it feels better in the hand than anything I've owned from other manufacturers (Motorola, Samsung). It was delivered with Symbian Anna, which exhibited some of the old, confusing user-interface design that has brought Nokia to the brink of extinction. After consultation with some folks on the Nokia forums, I decided to upgrade to Belle, about which the signals were mixed. I decided that the people who seemed to know what they were talking about liked the system and I went with their advice. This turned out to be a good decision. The user-interface is greatly improved and finally gives Symbian a look and work-flow that is competitive with Android or the iPhone. Unfortunately for Nokia and Symbian enthusiasts, it comes too late. But it's good, nonetheless. They also fixed some bugs that I cared about. For example, the FM radio application, which I use, did not work correctly in Anna, at least for me. The Belle version is fine. I am happy with everything else that I use -- contacts, calendar, email, browser, occasional text message. The camera is excellent. The only thing that does not work well, and never has, is Mail for Exchange, at least when you attempt to use it to sync with Google contacts/calendar. This software was broken three and four years ago and it's still broken. I have resorted to going back to maintaining my contacts, calendar and todos with Microsoft Outlook, which is an inconvenience for me, since I use Unix/Linux most of the time, not Windows. But Nokia's synchronization application works well, as does Google's application to sync their stuff with Outlook. A bit of a Rube Goldberg setup, but it works. It would have been far better for Nokia to have fixed Mail for Exchange -- they certainly had ample notice that it was bug-ridden -- but that won't happen now that they are fighting for their lives, hoping to be rescued by Windows 8. To summarize, if you want a superbly-made unlocked phone made for serious adults at a good price, this is a great choice. Be aware, though, that Nokia has, of course, abandoned Symbian (Accenture is maintaining it now) and it is unlikely that there will be any further development of the system. It's a dead-end for application writers as well, though there is a large body of Symbian applications already available. Whether they work well with Belle is a separate question (I purchased a financial calculator for my E71, and got the latest version for the N8. It worked fine with Anna, and while it works with Belle, the results appear in a font about 2 pixels high, and so it is unusable. I have contacted the author and he is unable to fix the problem, due to some authentication issue. It's obviously a side-effect of Symbian now being a dinosaur.) Update (3/24/2013): I've now had the N8 for almost 6 months, and my opinion of the phone has not changed. If anything, I'm even more impressed by its quality and usability. One issue: battery life. Running Belle, with light usage, the battery is exhausted by the end of the day and has to be recharged for the next day's use. However, there is a so-called "power-saving mode", and it works beautifully. With this enabled, the battery will last for days, at least the way I use the phone. For me, the phone is perfectly usable in this mode, and the improvement in battery life is a real plus. Before I discovered this, there were times when I was inconvenienced by having forgotten to put the phone on the charger overnight, needing to use it the next day, and finding it dead. Yes, it recharges quickly, but an inconvenience when I want to use it NOW. The tremendous improvement in battery life in power-saving mode essentially eliminates this problem. I would also mention that there is a battery monitor application available from the Nokia store that is quite useful, and I recommend it to anyone using an N8.
Review: Are you ready for a Symbian divice? Updated - Let me save you some time, before I bought this phone I did a lot of research such as read the desertcart reviews, Watched a lot of videos on Youtube (about the N8 in general or the N8 vs other smart phones) also got information from many blogs. The reason for me trying to get well informed about the Nokia N8 was the current trends on the smart phone market. With the hype that some smart phones such as the SGS3 or the iPhone have, I was skeptical about going for the N8 although I had have some Symbian phones in the past such as the N75 just to name one (that was four years ago) before that I had other Nokia phones I don't want to brag about it but they always were the most advanced device in my high school class, with features the best camera + photo editor, web browser, high speakers sound, FM radio (how cool was that 5 years ago?)and so on. I am very familiar with Nokia smart phones and the Symbian OS. I can say this is a really good phone and the Symbian OS is better than ever. It runs pretty smooth and is packed with more functions. Multitasking is really nice on the N8 Two points to consider before buying the N8 Pro: If you had have some Nokia device in the past you will feel familiar with the Symbian OS regardless if you have own a touch screen phone before. Cont: If you own or shall I say have (because that phone isn't your till the 2 years contract is done, OMG) a touch screen phone but it isn't a Nokia & you never had have a Nokia before you might dislike the experience because you need more steps to use some applications. The steps are not that many just 1,2 or maximum, but don't worry with the Belle update the OS is now easier to use, so dumb people can also have a great Nokia phone Symbian the best/worst OS of all time? I will said that it depends own your phone history. Hey that's it buy this phone it is awesome! how else can I explain it, It is the best, Android and iphone are for the people who have never have cool smart phones in their lives btw you should know that I have one of the latest BB, an iphone 4 and I was going to get the SGS3 but I didn't like the way it feels. It's like plastic it feels really cheap and in the ip5 1136 x 640 pixels display resolution you can see how bad the pictures are. For real, starting to think that the 808 will be a better buy than the 920 Now we have smart phones with speeds as high as 30 MPS, CPU over 1 GHz, 20/20 retina Display, 326 PPI and very soon you will see 1280x720 display. OH I have to point out the millions of apps(good luck dating some one with 100 apps on their phone, seriously lol). I can't wait to see how phone companies are going to cash out advertising that next year btw if you are going to buy one of the trending smart phone definitely go for the 920 (hands down the best!), Perhaps I will buy it too or maybe I won't, I was going to buy a camera but thanks the N8 I don't need one also I don't need a GPS thanks to the N8 About my shopping the delivery was fast, desertcart prime is really worth it but I received a defective unit. One screw wasn't holding the bottom of the phone but desertcart was quick to replace it, I got a new one in just two days, I thought that there was some problem with the OS because the touch screen wasn't responding but the problem was that my hands were really cold. the phone is working perfectly, just tested the HDMI and works fine, that's a really cool feature, believe it or not Nokia has always been ahead on technology development for phones. You can choose to be really ahead or to move when a new phones come out. My rating is One start because Nokia is going to abandon us (read Symbian fans)shame on you Nokia smh Update. I changed my review from 1 star to 5 stars because I found a really fabulous application "OBDAutoDoctor" this phone is awesome!! But the main reason is the article below feel free to read it hey guys i know that I told you to buy the 920 but if you are a Symbian fan please don't, It was all a conspiracy to destroy Nokia [...]

It makes a difference, as it is not only a pleasure to hold something well-made, but it feels better in the hand than anything I've owned from other manufacturers (Motorola, Samsung). It was delivered with Symbian Anna, which exhibited some of the old, confusing user-interface design that has brought Nokia to the brink of extinction. After consultation with some folks on the Nokia forums, I decided to upgrade to Belle, about which the signals were mixed. I decided that the people who seemed to know what they were talking about liked the system and I went with their advice. This turned out to be a good decision. The user-interface is greatly improved and finally gives Symbian a look and work-flow that is competitive with Android or the iPhone. Unfortunately for Nokia and Symbian enthusiasts, it comes too late. But it's good, nonetheless. They also fixed some bugs that I cared about. For example, the FM radio application, which I use, did not work correctly in Anna, at least for me. The Belle version is fine. I am happy with everything else that I use -- contacts, calendar, email, browser, occasional text message. The camera is excellent. The only thing that does not work well, and never has, is Mail for Exchange, at least when you attempt to use it to sync with Google contacts/calendar. This software was broken three and four years ago and it's still broken. I have resorted to going back to maintaining my contacts, calendar and todos with Microsoft Outlook, which is an inconvenience for me, since I use Unix/Linux most of the time, not Windows. But Nokia's synchronization application works well, as does Google's application to sync their stuff with Outlook. A bit of a Rube Goldberg setup, but it works. It would have been far better for Nokia to have fixed Mail for Exchange -- they certainly had ample notice that it was bug-ridden -- but that won't happen now that they are fighting for their lives, hoping to be rescued by Windows 8. To summarize, if you want a superbly-made unlocked phone made for serious adults at a good price, this is a great choice. Be aware, though, that Nokia has, of course, abandoned Symbian (Accenture is maintaining it now) and it is unlikely that there will be any further development of the system. It's a dead-end for application writers as well, though there is a large body of Symbian applications already available. Whether they work well with Belle is a separate question (I purchased a financial calculator for my E71, and got the latest version for the N8. It worked fine with Anna, and while it works with Belle, the results appear in a font about 2 pixels high, and so it is unusable. I have contacted the author and he is unable to fix the problem, due to some authentication issue. It's obviously a side-effect of Symbian now being a dinosaur.) Update (3/24/2013): I've now had the N8 for almost 6 months, and my opinion of the phone has not changed. If anything, I'm even more impressed by its quality and usability. One issue: battery life. Running Belle, with light usage, the battery is exhausted by the end of the day and has to be recharged for the next day's use. However, there is a so-called "power-saving mode", and it works beautifully. With this enabled, the battery will last for days, at least the way I use the phone. For me, the phone is perfectly usable in this mode, and the improvement in battery life is a real plus. Before I discovered this, there were times when I was inconvenienced by having forgotten to put the phone on the charger overnight, needing to use it the next day, and finding it dead. Yes, it recharges quickly, but an inconvenience when I want to use it NOW. The tremendous improvement in battery life in power-saving mode essentially eliminates this problem. I would also mention that there is a battery monitor application available from the Nokia store that is quite useful, and I recommend it to anyone using an N8.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Are you ready for a Symbian divice? Updated
*by J***E on November 18, 2012*

Let me save you some time, before I bought this phone I did a lot of research such as read the Amazon reviews, Watched a lot of videos on Youtube (about the N8 in general or the N8 vs other smart phones) also got information from many blogs. The reason for me trying to get well informed about the Nokia N8 was the current trends on the smart phone market. With the hype that some smart phones such as the SGS3 or the iPhone have, I was skeptical about going for the N8 although I had have some Symbian phones in the past such as the N75 just to name one (that was four years ago) before that I had other Nokia phones I don't want to brag about it but they always were the most advanced device in my high school class, with features the best camera + photo editor, web browser, high speakers sound, FM radio (how cool was that 5 years ago?)and so on. I am very familiar with Nokia smart phones and the Symbian OS. I can say this is a really good phone and the Symbian OS is better than ever. It runs pretty smooth and is packed with more functions. Multitasking is really nice on the N8 Two points to consider before buying the N8 Pro: If you had have some Nokia device in the past you will feel familiar with the Symbian OS regardless if you have own a touch screen phone before. Cont: If you own or shall I say have (because that phone isn't your till the 2 years contract is done, OMG) a touch screen phone but it isn't a Nokia & you never had have a Nokia before you might dislike the experience because you need more steps to use some applications. The steps are not that many just 1,2 or maximum, but don't worry with the Belle update the OS is now easier to use, so dumb people can also have a great Nokia phone Symbian the best/worst OS of all time? I will said that it depends own your phone history. Hey that's it buy this phone it is awesome! how else can I explain it, It is the best, Android and iphone are for the people who have never have cool smart phones in their lives btw you should know that I have one of the latest BB, an iphone 4 and I was going to get the SGS3 but I didn't like the way it feels. It's like plastic it feels really cheap and in the ip5 1136 x 640 pixels display resolution you can see how bad the pictures are. For real, starting to think that the 808 will be a better buy than the 920 Now we have smart phones with speeds as high as 30 MPS, CPU over 1 GHz, 20/20 retina Display, 326 PPI and very soon you will see 1280x720 display. OH I have to point out the millions of apps(good luck dating some one with 100 apps on their phone, seriously lol). I can't wait to see how phone companies are going to cash out advertising that next year btw if you are going to buy one of the trending smart phone definitely go for the 920 (hands down the best!), Perhaps I will buy it too or maybe I won't, I was going to buy a camera but thanks the N8 I don't need one also I don't need a GPS thanks to the N8 About my shopping the delivery was fast, Amazon prime is really worth it but I received a defective unit. One screw wasn't holding the bottom of the phone but Amazon was quick to replace it, I got a new one in just two days, I thought that there was some problem with the OS because the touch screen wasn't responding but the problem was that my hands were really cold. the phone is working perfectly, just tested the HDMI and works fine, that's a really cool feature, believe it or not Nokia has always been ahead on technology development for phones. You can choose to be really ahead or to move when a new phones come out. My rating is One start because Nokia is going to abandon us (read Symbian fans)shame on you Nokia smh Update. I changed my review from 1 star to 5 stars because I found a really fabulous application "OBDAutoDoctor" this phone is awesome!! But the main reason is the article below feel free to read it hey guys i know that I told you to buy the 920 but if you are a Symbian fan please don't, It was all a conspiracy to destroy Nokia [...]
