Nokia box is packaged inside a nokia n8 sling bag |
I claimed my N8 yesterday at Nokia Store, Greenbelt 1, Makati. Luckily , there's no line already when I got there (around 2:30pm). The store manager said that there are many people waiting for them to open the store in the morning.
As you can see, the box is very slim in profile (to save mother earth). There's a glossy nokia N8 cover box, and inside is the original nokia n8 matte blue box (which is the box familiar to everyone).

These are the contents of the box:
Top (left to right): Terms of use and privacy policy, N8-00 manual, Nokia N8 handset, Nokia Ovi quick start guide
Upper Bottom (left to right): WH-701 earphones, USB cable, USB-on-the-GO adapter, Mini hdmi to hdmi adapter
Lower Bottom : Fast charger
But wait, there is more! Hehe since I'm one of the first 800 who pre-ordered, nokia gave me a free 16 gb flash drive with episodes of How I met your mother.
And its confirmed, no stylus (i bet this will only come on countries with cold climate) and silicon/leather case are included. I don't think you'll be needing one also if your purpose is to to protect the phone from scratches the phone's already got gorilla glass display and scratch resistant anodized aluminum. But I'm kinda thinking of getting a silicon case because the phone is somehow slippery when your hands are too dry.

Waaa, you got it na ! I'm so envious now on you... again :D
I don't know when i will get mine ... hopefully sometime this year...
I'm sure you will make a N8 review sooner or later, but can you tell now what is your general feeling about the phone until now ? Are you mostly happy or more disappointed for buying it ?
I'm freakin lovin it :) i can do so many things with it.
i think I won't be posting positive reviews cause we've already been reading too much of them even before the product is release. I'll be posting problems that I encounter as i use the phone. I believe it will be more beneficial to possible buyers as a basis for buying this phone.
:)
Ok, i understand.
Then I guess, until I have my own N8, I'll just keep nagging you with questions regarding its real world use :P
So you better start praying that I will get mine ASAP :D
Sure! just shoot it your questions. I'll look into if I have time.
Ok, first question : how do you rate the included earphones (Nokia WH-701) quality on listening to music with N8? Are they decent enough for you to enjoy the music on them, or you still feel the need to buy something else better ? Do they have some big flaws ? Try to not compare them with big headphones, but just to other earbuds you might have used. Thanks!
And a 2nd question/ suggestion : did you (or could you) try to use a regular USB keyboard on N8, to see if it works for typing (like SMS , IM, email, etc). I know it works over Bluetooth and i saw also an USB mouse used, but not an USB keyboard yet. I'm asking mainly about a cable keyboard (but its interesting to know also about a radio wireless type). Thanks!
I'll create a post (review) for that.
I haven't use the earphone for a long time cause i have my bluetooth headphones already. But I did tried that during the time i bought the N8 and I can say that it sounds good for a stock earphone. Its even better than the stock earphone of iPhone. I'll test it more :)
Excellent, thanks! I am a person sensible to my audio gear quality, but for my occasional music listening on mobile i'm sure its gonna be more than enough, from what you say.
I'm still interested to see an eventual review of them though, if ever you will have time for doing it, so go-go-go! :D
I did tried an a4tech wireless mouse connected to n8 and ive waited but its not working. I dont know how its done. I saw a video before doing this , so unless I make it work with my mouse, i can't say that it will work for a keyboard.
Hmm, it must be a hit & miss experience. Probably some hardware works and other not. Then I guess I'll just wait for the time when I'll have my N8 to test it on my own. Thanks anyway for sharing your experience on this.
You might be correct. If you'll notice, the mouse sampled on the video is a Microsoft branded mouse.
But i'm kinda uneasy cause i have this feeling that the video is not real. I mean the mouse used is a bluetooth mouse and they just inserted any USB device on the N8 , cause its never shown on the video how they(n8 and mouse) we're connected. What is shown is that the mouse is already working on the N8. Im not sure though
Who knows...If I'm not mistaken , there are several vids on internet showing N8 used with external keyboards and mouse, so even if that video was a fake, there is still hope for this to actually work on particular hardware...
I'll explore into this on the office. My keyboard and mouse there is usb based.
But im kinda skeptical that it would work since it should have a driver installed on the n8 for the phone to know what commands it is receiving.
i'll let you know
I have a 3rd question : did you try to play movie files larger than 2GB on N8 ?
GSMArena in their N8 review said that it "cannot play any file that is larger than 2GB", but Damian Dinning told me that the max file size limit is 4GB.
It would be a pity if the upper limit is just 2GB, because that means it will not play any decent encoded 720p full feature movie.
Bump !
Sorry mhan. Too busy at work, dont have a time to try that. Ill do that this weekend.
Ok lang, no hurry. Take your time with the answer. I just wanted to make sure you didn't miss my post somehow.
