    Availability according to both the Italian and Spanish Nokia websites is end of September. Which will just about meet their Q3 2010 target for this phone.

    in the meantime try the c6 its fast and very good
    but the the N9 and C7 will be due also ,so which one do we get?:confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,408 ✭✭✭donkey balls


    i have been due an upgrade the last few months but have held off for the release of the n8 was tempted to get the iphone 4 for free,but i find that nokia is light years ahead of apple after all nokia had video call 5 years ago along with the fact that you can blue tooth video/music from other devices compared to the iphone.

    So I saw this been reviewed (briefly) on Techrader..
    Anyone think this might be a good phone considering the mess they made with the N97. Have Nokia learnt their lesson. It's still using Symbian 3 though

    Nokia N8
    Techradar

    Still thinking of changing from a N97mini to HTC Desire though !

    Edit: Thanks couldnt find a N8 thread !


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,466 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    i hope its not a failure
    this maybe they keep pushing back the date so is right on release
    meanwhile ive seen tesco extra uk have it up for 299 sterling thats a good price:cool:

    got an e- mail from nokia about the n 8 check out the link with VF UK prices http://www.nokiadirect.co.uk/Pay-Monthly/sc521/p81121.htm?intc=ms_direct-fw-ilc-bdy-acq-na-ncomprod-gb-20-n8buynowmodule1_0x0

    also they are selling it sim free for £429 yet the nokia.it/fr website have it for 469e when i did a currency conversion the uk price jumped to 530+ euro.
    im also not happy that three dont seem to have the phone on their uk network which means more than likely they wont stock it here.

    More closer to €300 im sure on the lowest plan


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,466 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    i would say 249 on lowest and should be 29 on highest
    who knows sure the e5 is 189 on 02 PAYG pretty good price


  • Registered Users Posts: 481 ✭✭kilsmum


    Does anyone have an idea what networks will carry the N8 and when it will be released? currently PAYG with Vodafone after coming off contract with Meteor.

    I have been a bill customer of 02, Vodafone, Meteor & Three so Im not fussy who I go with once the price of the phone is affordable :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,466 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    nobody knows ive asked all the networks
    i was going to buy it from expansys today as they said they would have it in stock and guess what now they say its going to be two weeks but there site says different

    Wouldn't rely on expansys.ie to have a clue when they are going to have it.

    They kept pushing the date back day by day with the n900, Wasn't there fault the n900 was taking so long to come out, But they had everyones money on hold waiting for it to be released and just kept pushing the date back and back.

    If you are set on getting the n8, I would wait until they actually have it in stock before trying to order it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,466 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    i will wait till its physically in stock not virtually
    ive bought from them before they were good i have to says
    i know they jump the gun with there dates but they told me today as i said above so will keep my eyes open,i still think i will find it cheaper elsewhere.

    Well reading this, I think expansys are a good bit off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,466 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    not only them but alot of others


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,466 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    phones on line has it in at 539 sim free now saying due october


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,189 ✭✭✭Gekko


    Nokia online store in UK now says end October.

    The FT ran two pieces earlier this week saying it looked like being delayed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,466 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    it is been delayed again verified by nokia

    on the other hand meteor have comfirmed they will stock this phone in november


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 23,157 Mod ✭✭✭✭Alanstrainor


    Typical Nokia really, create a massive hype about a new phone and then delay it by months. It happened with the N900, and tonnes of others for that matter. It's ridiculous.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,466 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    i think nokia have lost alot of customers as they have got fed up waiting


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,408 ✭✭✭donkey balls


    yeah im getting pissed off waiting and god knows how long before 3 have it(if they do get it) im thinking of getting the iphone 4 in the mean time and then sell it for the n8.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 19,340 CMod ✭✭✭✭Davy


    They dont want a failed early launch like the n97 got, and ruined its and nokia's reputation.

    very true davy im still using my N97 and think it's the biz but the UI is not as good/upto the same level as the iphone,i have since ordered an iphone4 so going play around with that till the N8 arrives.
