How to tell the difference from a real Nokia N8 an...

I was looking on this site and a few people are selling them for $150 US and some of the ones I have seen you can tell right away because of the specs are different specially the camera, they arn't 12mp, but this one is.
So please give me some advice on how you can tell the differences as for this price it's really hard to turn down, but on the otherhand I don't want to be sold a fake, thanks.

These  are some of the General Guidelines..

... apart from these.. the overal finish, price difference, source, features / options availbale in the various menus.. also provide hints..

  • How to tell the difference between 10w and 12w?

    We have:
    2 iPhone 5s
    1 iPad
    1 iPad 2
    1 iPad (4) with Retina
    I know that the iPhones use the smaller 5w charger, but how do I tell the difference between the iPad/iPad 2's 10w charger and the iPad 4's 12w charger? They look exactly the same.
    The iPad 4 takes forever to charge, so I want to make sure I am using the 12w - and I don't want to damage the older iPads by accidentally using the 12w.
    Thanks!

    Read the fine print on the charger. My iPad 2 10W charger says 5.1V 2.1A. A 12W charger should have a higher number for A.
    You can use the iPad 4 charger on your other devices, without damage, to charge them faster.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • E4200V2 or E4200V1 - How to tell the difference?

    I currently own a E4200 which I haven't used in years since I switched to ATTUverse. I'm dusting it off and getting ready to use it as I'm switching back to Time Warner Cable.  I need to update firmware and download Cisco connect but I dont know if I should download for V2 or V1. What's the difference? And how do I know which I should use?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Ok, upon further search on the boards I found my answer. Apparently my serial number beginning 01C10C indicates V1 in addition to the fact that everywhere the model number is noted on the hardware as well as original packaging there is no V2 after E4200. Unless anyone has anything else to add, I guess I'm good to go. 

  • How to tell the difference between ibook and ibook g4 screens?

    Hi, I've got a faulty screen on my ibook g4, and have spent the last month or so trying to find a second hand replacement one.
    I recently bought a screen on ebay, but when I received it, it only said 'iBook' on the front, not 'iBook G4' as my current one does. I replied to the seller to complain that he sent me a g3 screen, but he insists it's G4.
    Before I take it any further, can anyone confirm whether it is possible that this is actually a g4 screen, even though there is no mention of G4 on it?
    Here is a picture(http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120281147959&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=002#ebayphotohosting)
    Thanks, Nick

    As far as I have encountered, the 12" screens are cross compatible between the G3 and G4 iBooks. The LCD screens - not the cable harnesses. You can take the LCD from the G3 screen and replace the one from the G4.
    Now, with the 14" iBooks, the high end (1.33 and 1.42 GHz models) G4 iBooks use a screen that is not cross-compatible with earlier G4 or G3 models.
    So, while you cannot swap the entire screen assembly between the g3 and G4, the LCD panels are largely swappable. The screen bezel and frame are also swappable.

  • How to tell the difference between DRM (fairplay) music and non-DRM music?

    Apple finally is selling non-DRM music and I've bought a couple songs in the past with ease. I like the system but I'm having a problem finding out which music is still using DRM.
    Apple originally differentiated it by charging 30 cents more for the unprotected music. Now however they removed the surcharge, but there's no way to tell if the music I'm looking at is protected.
    I choose not to buy DRMed music as I'm using my music to burn MP3 CDs for my car, and having to crack protection isn't the way I want to do it.
    How can I tell using iTunes Store which music is DRM protected, and which music is DRM free?

    Agreed, I have stopped buying from iTunes until they eliminate the restrictions, and have started replacing the songs I DID buy from iTunes with non copy protected ones from Amazon. I tell everyone not to buy from iTunes for exactly that reason. There are lots of other excellent options, which do not have the stupid restrictions that Apple has. The iPod is great, iTunes with DRM is incredibly annoying.

  • How to tell the difference in contact phone numbers

    I am sure I am just missing some exciting visual aid presented in the ui but for the life of me I can't tell which number I am calling in the "Recents" section of Contacts. This may be a bad habit but I always use my call list to redial people. Unfortunately I can't tell which number I am calling when it only presents names.
    I have three numbers for my wife and her name appears over and over in the list. Problem is, as far as I can tell there is no way to tell which number I am calling.
    Am I missing something? Do you always have to go to the actual contact to dial the correct number?

    If you hit the blue "right arrow" on the Recents list, it will take you to the contact, and will put a blue star on the number that you were called from/to. It will also list the times that you spoke or missed a call from that number.
    If your wife calls from the same number several times, it will have the number of missed calls in parens next to that entry, otherwise, it will list her several times, once for each number.

  • How to tell the difference of Flex or HTML sites

    How can I tell whether a web site is developed with Flex or
    HTML?
    Is this Flex Forum based on Flex?

    There will always be an <object> and/or <embed>
    tag containing the swf file. You would also be able to search the
    source for the page for swf to see if there were any, or possibly
    SWFObject or similar for embeds created with Javascript support.
    Doing this in Firebug for Firefox, or in Opera using the 'generate
    on the fly view of the DOM setting' or whatever tends to show the
    page as it is now, which would get around javascript loading
    issues.
    THere is a free utility for Sothink called SWF Catcher that
    I've used, and presumably others like it.

  • How to tell the difference without illustrator

    Hi All
    We have a Graphic designer and the odd user who has CS4, we also get alot of AI files sent from external customers/suppliers but it has come to our attention that some of our project managers need illustrator to work out wether an AI file is just an image or a full blown AI developed file.
    As im reluctant to spend lots of cash just for this, id thought id ask the questions here to see if there is anything obvious that can be used?
    Hope you can help
    Thanks

    Ive just got one of Our graphics guys to look at the page options and it does tell you the diffrence in Acrobat pro 9 however at £444 for acrobat and £516 for illustrator theres not a massive diffrence.
    Thanks for all your help and ill need to do a few more tests before I can pass my answers on to my management.
    Thanks

  • How to tell the difference bewteen two submit buttons

    Hi,
    I want to build a jsp page, which executes a method from a bean, dependingly on which submit-button has been pushed. To explain it, i've included some code.
    -------------BasicConfig.jsp-------------------------
    <form method="post" action="Default.jsp"><br>
    <input TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="BasicConfigurationDefault" VALUE="Default">
    </form>
    -------------ServerOptions.jsp----------------------
    <form method="post" action="Default.jsp"><br>
    <input TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="ServerOptionsDefault" VALUE="Default">
    </form>
    These two submit to the same default.jsp page but the buttons have different names. Now i want the default.jsp page to recognize, from where the request came, by looking at the names, and forward them to the appropriate page. How can i do this? I tried using request.getparameters, but i can't figure it out in which parameter the name are from the submit buttons.
    thanks in advance,
    Hugo Hendriks

    -------------BasicConfig.jsp-------------------------
    <form method="post" action="Default.jsp"><br>
    <input TYPE="SUBMIT"
    SUBMIT" NAME="BasicConfigurationDefault"
    VALUE="Default">
    </form>
    -------------ServerOptions.jsp----------------------
    <form method="post" action="Default.jsp"><br>
    <input TYPE="SUBMIT"
    SUBMIT" NAME="ServerOptionsDefault" VALUE="Default">
    </form>In the first case you will receive a parameter called "BasicConfigurationDefault" with the value "Default" and in the second case, a parameter called "ServerOptionsDefault".
    I didn't try this with a POST method but with a GET method... I hope they do the same.
    If it's not working, just call a JavaScript function when you click on the buttons and set a value to an hidden field.

  • How to transfer the data from Bluetooth in Nokia 7...

    I have recently purchased new nokia 7310 supernova, problem is that whenever i try to send anything from my mobile to other through bluetooth the Send option is not highlighted. means Send option is disable,but I can receive from other mobiles.
    Reply only you have proper knowledge. 

    The send option is dark if you are trying to send protected files (i.e. built in tones or graphics) or java applications/games.
    If it's dark on images that you have captured (or files that you have added) then there is a problem with the phones bluetooth module. A nokia care point will be able to check this out for you.
    Also check that you have the latest firmware:

  • How do you tell the difference between a genuine USB to Lightning cable? I spoke to two different operators at Apple Support. One said that it has Designed in California Made in China and the serial number on it, and the other operator said it didn't

    How can you tell the difference between a genuine Apple lead and the cheap, or sometimes not so cheap imitations? I spoke with two people at Apple Support - one said that it has Designed in California Made in China and the serial number stamped on it, and the other said it didn't. Come on guys, how are we supposed to tell if you can't? I'd really like to know how to identify my lead amongst my daughter's gazillion fakes?

    All my cables are genuine either with the devices or from Apple retail Store I have never found a serial number on any regardless of which length ,I have all three lengths
    In fact they have nothing printed at all only a USB logo at relevant end

    If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?

    Besides all of that, you can purchase Apple Care which will extend your warranty to 3 years just like you can on a brand new iMac.
    If you're considering a "refurbished" iMac, buy it ONLY from Apple.  I believe it's your best bet.

  • In ical, how can you tell the difference between a meeting invite and email?

    When you send a meeting invite in ical, does the recipient receive a different icon in their inbox to differentiate from an email?

    For service stock you can't tell the difference between a new iPad and a refurbished one. Both will come in a plain brown box with the same pattern in model numbers. If you mean between a refurbished one and one new at retail, then other than the obvious difference in packaging, I've read that the model number on refurbished units starts with the letter "F", though I've not confirmed that.
