i really like how when you mobile upload pictures to facebook, the quality is reallyy high now, rather than before when it was all crappyy...

So Nokia announced that PR 1.1 will be available early next week (but some ppl have already been able to download it from nokia servers)



and here's something new at Beta Labs a great looking/working UI





get here http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-bubbles follow instructions

Great.
Thanks for the news.
This may actually be better than SlideUnlock. Plus, bubbles is free by Nokia.

Firmware 1.1 is out today not for all product codes atm but many, maybe yours? :)

No update available on my phone.
Phones from EU should have the update already.
I got mine from Newegg.ca.

Here is a changelog I quoted from HoFo:

Changelog:

* Web updated to 7.2.8.10
* Quickoffice updated to 6.4.166, editing functions now enabled on the N8 (i.e. don't have to pay to upgrade), improved zooming functions
* Adobe Reader updated to 2.5.653
* Big update to Nokia Email; performance improved; 'unread emails' flag added to homescreen widget; meeting requests can be accepted directly from email invitations; maps integration, which means people can view the meeting location on the map when the address is mentioned in the location field in the invite
* General performance improvements
* Dialler now works in landscape mode
* Previous performance updates are rolled in and, in the full (Ovi Suite-installed, >100MB) image, there's the facility to provide a better working starting point than hard resetting a PR 1.0 device

not all phones in europe got it yet (mines a UK phone)

so far 298 Product Codes have the firmware available its like a every region, even india brazil asia (except north america, china) has a portion of their product codes fulfilled with the firmware update but a lot don't

PR 2.0

if you're wondering about the iphone icons those aren't part of the browser they're wordpress' app icons



Rumors are saying we might see the new browser released this Friday (tomorrow) or during MWC (which starts this weekend)

Amazon dropped their N8 prices to $399.99



If you haven't bought one yet though I wouldn't just yet... I'd wait to see what else Nokia is willing to do for it... considering they've killed off Symbian and pissed off all their developers and their employees walked out.... I don't think its a good idea yet even though the phone is really good as it is; it just wouldnt be smart imo

PR1.1 is available for Nokia US handsets.
I updated OTA. I hope the UI will be snappier and quicker.

u dont really notice anything


pr 2.0 is supposed to be out this month... but i doubt it

video of PR 2.0 a Feb 11 version so hopefully the final edition will be released quite soon

Fruit Ninja is available on Ovi for $0.99

Use coupon code F05TKKH7X4S53V to get the Green Nokia N8 for $329.99 at Dell. Coupon expires on March 14th, 2011.

haven't updated in a bit


Nokia Big Screen has left beta labs and is available in the store now (my most recommended app)

Nokia says new UI in Fall -_-

PR 2.0 imminent (its already available online but not from Nokia)

So Nokia Beta Labs have come out with Another great feature for Symbian phones

its low power animations for the sleeping screen




get it here

http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-sleeping-screen



this is why I love Nokia, so many strides lately on improving the features but then Flop comes around and ruins it all

Well Nokia took a poll recently from users about which colour fans would like to see for a new N8 housing 'Red' won but it looks like Nokia is set on releasing a 'Pink' edition as well

And well here is the Pink(fuchsia??) N8



http://mynokiablog.com/wp-content/up...Pink-1-big.jpg

http://mynokiablog.com/wp-content/up...Pink-2-big.jpg

Play To (DLNA)
 

http://mynokiablog.com/wp-content/up...t-13.28.22.png

Nokia Beta Labs just released a DLNA app for Symbian^3+ devices

In case you were still hoping for something other than HDMI + BigScreen here it is (i still prefer the hdmi+big screen)

I HEAR some high bitrate 720p videos (15mbps ish) aren't able to play smoothly; as in the ones you record with your N8


http://betalabs.nokia.com/blog/2011/...medium=twitter

Nokia is still alive? :troll:

lol werd

even i really detest them atm



but im loving beta labs with all the great apps they're coming out with

another amazing example of the capabilities of the N8s camera



still the best, even with that shoddy 1080p android camera out there

Not really news but if anyone enjoys seeing the N8 camera @ work

Nokia held a competition that was showcased @ the Edinburgh International Film Festival
The winner got $10,000

rules are it has to be an original film and you have to use the N8 to film it

here's the page with all the finalists http://www.vimeo.com/nokia/awards (some of the videos won't embed here so you'll have to go to the link)




This is the winner



Finalists




there's a total of 8 videos just linked some of them

There's a good one called 'Dirt' but it won't embed it's an end of the world apocalypse film

was searching for an n8 on cl, found this Nokia N8 Telescope Lens
mind is blown, wondering how effective those things are. Anyone rocking one? :fullofwin:

They've had that for the N95 it seemed to work ok


some of the macro videos i've posted in this thread were done with a macro lens rubber banned to an N8

i cant find the review of the magnifyer like that anymore..

but this is a video by that guy who makes those great videos ive been posting


thats what he does ;)


a Korean company had a special Macro lens made specifically for the N8 but it was only a demo unit dont think they ended up selling them



edit: ah found some reviews for the telescope (on the n95) ppl have fun with it, it works, but the quality stinks havent seen anyone use a telescope lens on the n8 though; there's videos of people filming through a telescope but it sounds like an actual telescope for astronomy hobbyists and not a little attachment

oh just saw this

http://cdn.photojojo.net/store/aweso...1297539269.jpg $40 for both
Fisheye, Macro, and Wide Angle Camera Phone Lenses

its like the AnyDica (lol) N8 attachment that debuted at Photokina but doesn't look like it made it to market this is made for any cell phone though not n8 specific it attaches by way of a magnet/adhesive ring

should be fun to play with

I didn't realize we had anything other than SPB on Symbian 3 ive really been out of the loop

but here's another UI transformation

V.Home u can make the N8 look/act like Droid etc


there's actually quite a lot of customization apps out didn't realize this :/


as for those 2 lenses in my last post I ordered them so i'll test how they work out and post if ne1s interested
