Who's recently purchased an N8 and how do you feel...

Hello Folks,
I'm curious to find out from those of you who've recently purchased an N8 or E7 how you feel about the recent partnership announcement between Nokia and with Mircrosoft and would you encourage others to buy one of these devices?
Thanks,
Dj

Got it two weeks ago. I have done the following and confirm it works:-
Installed:
Garmin XT ( better than nokia maps for me).
Installed not working:
Navigon 7.4
Ndrive 10.1.15 ( navigates but no sound even when installed, known issue)
Other Points:
- I bought is for the video and camera - the best on the market for mobile phones. slightly better than Iphone 3 & 4 (have one of those too).
- Battery life is average. Depends what is switched on. Similar to Iphone battery life.
- Have put another APN on and is occasionally says ''maximum number of connections in use" so I just ignore the message. Anoying especially when navigating.
- Tuned it not to use the wirless too much. Save power.
- Put in a 32GB card for my vidz and pics - confirmed working.
- Installed tethering software (Joikuspot). Now I can use my phone as a mobile Access Point, where the Mobile internet is the active connection, lasts for an hour on a full charge so I have a power chor plugged in. (Battery Drainer). You can thether with a cable ot of the box but need nokia ovi. The data cable also charges the phone.
- Cannot easily move contacts across from my old N95 but i found a long winded way to do it.
- Cannot export contact from Ovi. But there is a free longer method. Forget google sych too much monies.
- Blutooth works well, with hands free kit.
- can have standard phone keys keypad or qwerty keypad when typing messages. Although qwerty keys are a little small compared to iphone - fat finger somtines.
- The only thing this phone does not have is a typical MS blue screen of death! (kidding)
- web sites like 4od don't work. But that is the same for blackberries. A plugin is required apparently.
- Looking into installing VNC and ssh clients next + more.

  • I recently purchased a song and my entire song library was deleted after it downloaded. The photos and aps are still there, but no tunes. Anyone know how to fix this? I have songs loaded on the ipod that I don't want to loose and they are not in MY itunes

    I recently purchased a song from itunes and when the song downloaded, it deleted/removed my entire song library. Only leaving the one song.
    My photos and aps are still there, but no songs. Anyone ever encounter this and how do you fix it? I  don't want to loose my songs as some are not in MY itunes library. Help

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

    Try the following steps:
    1. Check windows updates.
    2. Try the Microsoft Fix it in this kb to remove previous install completely:

  • I recently purchased an iMac and transferred all of my documents etc. from my Macbook Pro, but now it seems as if some of my photos are distorted and squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    I recently purchased an iMac and transferred all of my documents, photos etc. from my Macbook Pro. Everything seemed fine until I opened iPhoto and now it seems as if some of my photos are distorted and squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    How did you move your iPhoto Library from the old Mac to your new one?
    Do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

    Hi there, I recently purchased an app and I need to re download it onto my iphone 4s. The app is saved on my laptop and is not available on my app store download history. Can anyone advice how I can redownload it from my laptop?

    You just resync your iPhone with iTunes on your laptop.
    If you are logged with the same Apple ID on both devices it should be available to download from your phone:
    Open App Store app > Updates > Purchased

  • I recently purchased an iMac and used migration assistant to get all files from my emac, but now I have three user accounts.  I only want one (perhaps two) accounts.  I want all my music, photos and word docs from old computer in one user name

    I recently purchased a mac and used a firewire to transfer my files onto my new imac with migration assistant.  Now I have 3 users.  I want one with all my main files (pictures, music, files from my old computer).
    I don't mind having an additional "family" account so my younger daughter can't mess us things, but I can't figure out how to get files from one to the next and then delete the one user name.
    Thanks,

    In order to delete other accounts you must be logged into an admin account. You cannot delete the account into which you are currently logged.
    When you started the new computer you were in the Setup Assistant. You created a new admin account before finishing the setup. You need to log into that account because it is an admin account. You can then delete the account you migrated from the old computer (and any other accounts you don't need or want.)
    Then create a temporary new user account with admin status - name it, Temp. Log out of the current account and log into the new account, Temp. Now delete the initial account you created in Setup Assistant. You now have one account, Temp. Now re-migrate your data from the old computer. When that is completed log into the migrated account, which should be an admin account, and delete the temporary account, Temp.

  • Can, and how do you restore from ipod back to recently replaced hard drive on a pc not mac?

    can, and how do you restore music from ipod back to recently repaced harddrive on a pc not mac?

    Note: The information below hasn't been updated since early 2013.
    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
    - Expod (free) - http://www.headlightsoft.com/expod/ - Mac, universal for 104.+ (newer machines try de-Tune)

  • I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I recently purchased Apple TV and it worked right away with my three ipd minis my iPhone 5 and ipad . The next day I cannot get the airplay icon to show up on any thing? Any ideas

    I recently purchased Apple TV and the first day it worked great. The second day I can no longer get the airplay symbol on any of my devices?

    Airplay doesn't show up in control center on any of your devices?
    Have you tried restarting the devices by holding down the home and power button for about ten seconds. I would also try restarting your router/modem.

    It's a 64 bit and this is the message I keep getting when I try to install:
    *This installer does not support installation on a 64-bit windows operating
    system. If you are installing by browsing through the disk content then
    please run the setup.exe from the folder “Adobe Premiere Elements 12/PRE

    The Adobe folder on my computer has downloads for both 32 bit and 64 bit,
    both of which I tried...any suggestions?

    i recently purchased itunes match and it always pauses on my iphone 5 when i try to listen to my library    help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi mdr1976,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use iTunes Match to access your entire iTunes library on your computer and iOS devices.
    You can access your iTunes library on your Apple TV using Home Sharing, which is why it only works when your MacBook is turned on.
    See these articles for more information about Home Sharing:
