    I 'upgraded' my N8 to Belle the other day and now hate it. Apparently it isn't possible to revert to Anna so I'm looking for a new phone. Not Nokia for this reason.

    Before Belle I actually really liked my N8

    The camera is important, I like the fm transmitter and the HdMI out capabilities. I don't want an iphone.

    What do you guys recommend as a replacement for my ruined N8?

    Try skinning Belle ( changing appearance to classic)

    Am I missing something??? I upgraded mine to Belle and don't see much difference to it and Anna. Yes it'll take a day or two to get used to new layout like when sending texts etc but honestly I don't understand that you need to change your phone over it :confused:

    You'll have a hard time finding a phone with an FM transmitter and an HDMI out.

    Galaxy S II supports HDMI out but does not have an FM transmitter.

    If the camera resolution needs to stay at 12mp (can't see why though) then Sony Ericcson are bringing out a phone called the Xperia S next month in the UK. When it hits Ireland is anyones guess.

    This too shall pass.

    There are barely any phones running Android that have a Xenon flash so you're pretty much snookered in that department.
    Apparently Nokia are announcing a successor to the N8 at Mobile World Congress but it won't be running Windows Phone :(
