This thread included a poll: Do you agree? (how could you not)

*there are no fixes, tricks or remedies here*

-not responsive, then sometimes almost too sensitive, inaccurate touch screen input (anna)

+micro usb & 2mm charge

+awesome photos and videos

+hdmi output is great, but no composite out (yellow rca)

+good apps, but can't find a fishing prediction app, I-bricks (Iphone) hav them

-i personally don't like "conversation" messaging, i keep as little as possible in my inbox

+having a usb input and fm transmitter are awesome features

-browser hard to control, does its own random scrolling (anna)

-hav had flash player icon appear instead of vid, only once though (anna?)

-browser not as fast as promised, using wi-fi to access my adsl2+ running approx 8Mbits/sec

-didn't allow me to enter fields on a nokia discussions page, kept pressing the field, but the keyboard didn't want yo appear (anna)

-can't go backwards through work predictions (okia (formally refered to as nokia))

-predictive text is unintuative, have to pick through obviouly invalid predictions, over and over, with no learning funtionality, i've seen erricsons predict whole words after 2 characters, and it takes into accout grammer (okia)

-phone still refering to ovi, even though it no longer is valid (okia)

-who came up with and what the hell is an �ovi" anyway? Only Vague Interface?

+the suites and store hav actually been quite good, but the name is confusing and lacks any relavence (okia)

-For some reason i don't get a portrait keyboard, have to keep flipping side to side (as on preview vidoes and other okia press announcementst (anna)

-software designers had consideration for previous nokia users, until anna

-Till the n8 was released, okia software has always been bad, but i still like okia hardware, best being n82 (tough, capable & reliable s/ware & h/ware (okia))

-quotation marks in different screen while texting (anna)

-�texting" & "thankyou" (so far) not in dictionary (anna)

-not intuative enough even to recognise capital i when gramatically neccessary (okia)

-non responsive touch screen vs n97 (had good responsive stylus compatible t-screen, okia decided not to stick with what worked)

-on first boot i entered ovi password incorrectly, so i went �back� and then from then on, the entry fields weren't visable, this was during an anna updade though, but it seemed ready, manual reboot resolved this glitch (anna)

-first ever boot b4 anna phone locked-up (okia)

-an access point has appeared as a bookmark? So wierd! (anna)

-can't view whole mobile formatted google web page, seriously! (anna)

-after n97 I was not going to buy another nokia (Ipoo, now I hav discovered android htc 3d)

-really bad usability, very inaccurate, want to downgrade operating system, not even interested in bella, which will only let us down even more! (anna)

-incorrectly formatted pages for web page log-ins (anna)

+maybee android will make this decent piece of hardware work, jail-break seems 2 b da way 2 go

-hav had countless misses on keyboard up 2 now, getting used to it though (previous to anna was much more accurate)

-try TYPING "to-do-note OR making a to-do-note! ", there are 2 date entries with no label, cofusious! (anna)

-ANd the capitals & mistakes in the last (plus coutless more I hav corrected) are examples of anna!

-everything is soooo much harder 2 type now (anna)

-nokia eats dog balls as appitisers

-I am hating this experience, everyone snould know (anna)

-nokia sucs bcause they have not even listened or bothered to remedy all the issues with my n97 (mega siezing/ crashing with no updates since way too long (bout a year or more (okia))

-went through all settings, no sign of screen calibration anymore, which maybe the problem, why was it there b4 anna? (anna)

-i am sick of having to select, options, now playing, cancel, then options, again, then now playing again, just to resume my music after a power off or okia crash (okia)

-I've only had okias and persevered with them. I've had a 3210?, 6220, n71, n73, n82, n97 disaster, was aware of the n96 disaster, n8 (happy till Anna came and f-ed everything up, just after i hav been bragging how good it WAS (anna)

-friend of mine has had lock ups & sim registration failures since she had the thing, and she only txts and makes phond calls! (b4 & after anna)

-by the way, my mate just showed me his htc playing a 3d movie, no glasses, really cool ((okia software not keeping up)

-apps appearing are only suitable for �I-crud" & android, prob put android on this n8 (okia)

-can't go back to the previous os, that i was really happy with (okia)

-anna was written sooo bad that it requires 2 further updates

-after anna was loaded i saw a signal booster icon, i clicked on it and it vanished, never to b seen again (anna)

-all these issues hav appeared since anna & all within a day

-i cannot stress how i hav struggled to type all this with anna, anna has destroyed my phone, i am sad i let okia do this to me AGAIN!

-OKIA prob not even aware of its demise, but i guarantee they will b gone in the near future, unhappy new year okia for the last time!

-summary, AVOID ANNA LIKE THE PLAGUE, i hav had enough of nokia letting evryone down. Shame on u Okia SHAME!

Sorry to se you have all these problems... my experience with Anna has been absolutely the opposite!!

Really looking forward to Belle....

N8 rules for me 😊

three other friends of mine are all happy N8 owners,

Better luck next time 😊
