See, i think its the opposite, i think the new Symbian UI and customisable homescreen with its widgets makes SPB look like it was made by a schoolboy.
Also, i think the homescreen is still better than the complete lack of a widget enhanced homescreen on the iPhone.

yes compared to having no widgets on the iPhone the stock symbian homescreen is better and more useful but compared to androids widgets it is far from great...
problems with it are that the widgets are fixed sizes so u r limited by where nokia want you to put them. plus hasnt nokia or the widget makers heard of rounded edges lol.
As i said IMO i prefer spb shell over stock symbian for the homescreen.

On Phone Arena there is a tutorial video about 6 mins long of how to remove the N8 battery. Now this guys says he had problems where his N8 froze & he could not turn it off
That does not bode well at all. A company fitting a non removable battery to a phone that freezes & you cannot take out the battery without opening the thing up. Not good

My son loves his N8, and from the little time he lets me play it does look good.
It feels quite light which also gives it a cheap feeling.
At the end of the day it work pretty much like his failed 5800 and thats what he likes.
As for non removable battery... it doesn't seem to have harmed sales of the iphones/ipads/ipods etc
He does have the occasional hang but so far, he says that the power button always responds to a long press to shut down the phone

@etaab, I wouldn't go as far as saying 99% of iphone apps are novelty and useless. If you look at the top 50 paid and free apps I would say none fit that category, and to be honest I am mostly driven by what is popular as that is a good measure in my opinion.
Mind you, I do go through my downloads once a month now from stuff I have picked outside of that popularity list and do have a cleanup.
My son says that he is more than happy with the ovi store offerings, but mind you, he's the only one in the family now that is not an iphone convert like myself, wife, daughter, mother, brother, sister in law, a couple of uncles and aunts etc etc

@ Bonovox - apparently if the phone freezes you simply hold down the power button for 8 seconds and then the phone restarts itself, according to the manual.
@ Masseur - top 50 out of how many thousands ? who knows the actual math and whether an app is worthwhile or not as its based mostly on opinions. But i reckon even the top 1000 apps dont count as that worthwhile 1%. Totally imo of course.
I have friends with iPhones, my sister has just taken delivery of her iPhone 4 aswel as her boyfriend a couple of weeks ago. Im yet to see any apps which i would actually purchase or need unless it was a good game.
Sadly the Ovi store is also now sinking down to the low level of Apple's, with many useless apps which are purely for novelty.

Is there anyway to turn of the auotomated background light setting- that makes the background light normal in ordinary dayligh but too weak in darker envoirments? I have checked settings but only find one that had a slidebar whare you can regulate the strenght of background light(and that one ONLY allwoes me to set light stronger when i´m in an dark envoriments. But when in more normal daylight i can slide tha bar in any direction an get the effect wanted. Do you also have this?)
