good... not PERFECT but good... there's the EVER-SO-SLIGHTEST "jiggle" which can be felt if you put your thumb on the cover and move left to right.... and when I say it's slight... I mean it is a really, really small amount of play. Just to make sure I wasn't imagining it, I even put my white one back on and if fits PERFECT with ZERO movement. My wife thinks I'm crazy because she couldn't even tell what I was talking about but then again she doesn't ever use my phone, so I guess I'm just being supercritical.

Same with my black one.. but like you say, its no big deal. I am still waiting for mine in the mail.. should be here today
It looks great and its always nice to change things up a bit. People with iphones do the same with protective cases.

I've been trying to type this up for a while, but I just never have the time to put it together
I've been trying to optimize my 808 so I can get the maximum out of the platform, so I just wanted to share my current 808 set up in terms of software with fellow 808 owners here on esato, I know we are not that many, but either way..it might be helpful.
We all know that Symbian has its limitations, just like any other platform, but it has served me very well for a long time, and to this day I still think that its a very powerful and efficient platform. A true mobile OS.. not a desktop one adopted for mobile.
I am currently using this CFW
http://forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=95682.0
you can find installation instruction, etc. on their blog here:
http://n8delight.blogspot.de/
They've done a great job overall. The phone is very stable, the OS is fast, and it looks good.
I am using this theme with it:
http://store.ovi.com/content/341933
Nice & Dark, good looking icon pack.
One of the main reasons to use this CFW, especially in the USofA, is the fact that 2 very important apps work fine on it, and not on the original firmware.
Joikuspot & google maps. Without those two I would have to switch..
Google maps is very important since Nokia Maps kind of sucks here. Their indexing is not as good as google's.. at least for now.
joikuspot is awesome, especially if you are on AT&T's unlimited data plan. I find this essential, especially if you need an internet connection on the go for your laptop.
I never really liked the multitasking view on belle, i find it inefficient, so i use this:
http://store.ovi.com/content/366936
Its much better.. since I am right handed, i put all the running apps icons on the right side, which makes it really easy for one handed use.
Another thing that i think should be part of the firmware, is lock screen controls for the music player.
I use this app:
http://store.ovi.com/content/343464
And it works great
In terms of social networks I use Gravity, for voip I use Skype.

Awesome list cu015170! I have tried Delight myself but found it a bit sluggish and not stable (sometimes it froze idle while showing the sleeping screen) So I went back to the stock fw.
Some of the apps I use:
*For exercise tracking:
Sports Tracker
*For Twitter / Facebook / Foursquare / Sina Weibo:
Gravity
*For Maps:
Nokia Maps is epic here in the UK.
*For VoIP:
I use both Skype & also Google Voice through the native SIP VoIP client (in settings / admin settings / connectivity).
*For RSS and News:
gNewsReader
*For Browsing:
Opera Mini
I am looking for a fast & lightweight photo app to add effects to my pictures. I usually transfer them to my Blackberry Q10 and edit them on Pixlr-o-Matic or in Aviary as they are quicker (even for those 2mb-5mb sized photos).
Any suggestions?

As much as I love reading about your 808 experiences still using Symbian with my rose tinted nostalgic glasses, I don't think I could go back now. Ive just gotten used to the speed of Android now on my S3 for the important parts Symbian always struggled with - web browsing and social media such as Facebook. I used to use Fmobi as my Facebook client, but it was limited. Nokia's own Social app is a joke by 2013 standards.
If only the 808 came out here in the UK to the masses in 2009.

fbloise thanks for the input
Do you have to run GPSinfo or any other gps software to keep it locked when you are using Sports Tracker ? It looses gps signal on mine if I don't run GPSinfo alongside it.. they never updated the app after FP2 came out
Have you tried the built in image editor ? Also.. I think there was a way to install the old one from the N8 which was very good.. I will look into it

Yes, that makes perfect sense...
And really, its all about your perspective and expectations from the device. The gs3 is much more powerful in terms of hardware, and the software was made with the WEB in mind.. so its pretty much no contest when it comes to speed.
For me personally, I have no major issues with how Symbian performs on the 808.. at least no big enough to where I will have to switch. If you turn off java script and flash, the browsers is in fact usable.. there is also opera mobile. For facebook.. I use the mobile version of their website, and the built in post to fb from the gallery if I want to post a picture straight from the phone to fb. You can check in from fmobi..
Twitter is nicely covered by Gravity.
Still.. there are a lot of apps missing, its just that in my case they happened to be non-essential.
I just hate it when blogger start telling me that Symbian is unusable in 2013, and so on... its simply not true.
In your case.. an 808 as a 2nd device is probably your best, but then you are spending more money on toys..
