oh yea and when u plug it 2 the computer it gets like discoverred kinda but doesnt show up as a phone , just pc beeps that new device has been plugged in
How did you remove the battery? It is not user removable and if you do remove it then your warranty might not be valid.

btw it seems that all n8ts are faulty ;( lookin at the nokia support forum

My friend... you are talking absolute rubbish!!!
Have you tried every N8? If you want people to take what you say seriously then you need to start talking sense.
Don't use this forum just to moan... get your phone replaced and stop talking complete rubbish.

The clue is in some of them revive it by putting in the freezer and later could turn it on. What happen was actually the lithium battery was over drain but at a lower storage temperature it can recover some of its residue electric charges and enough to boot up.
Most of the smartphones now use a form of lithium-poly battery which requires top-up charging. So a new battery must be conditioned to increase its holding capacity. Unfortunately, few users understand this and playing with a new 'toy' continuously will keep draining the battery to such a low point to recalibrate the battery to a lower holding capacity creating sort of a 'memory' effect a little like the NiMH (which is chemical effect but here is a circuitry effect).
A new battery must fully discharge-charge once to calibrate the battery and then keep recharging above 65% capacity for few days meaning one should plug in and charge with any opportunity if possible.
After doing this, one will find the battery holding capacity is at least 30% longer. Important if smartphone is to function well as a smartphone requires a higher voltage to run its circuit compared to a simple mobile phone.
Certanly not all N8s have this defect, but som obviously do. I do not think it's battery related. At least not in the sence that the battery is drained. My N8 would start again, if I put it away for half an hour or so, with the same battery level as before.

It froze and shut down. This happened during many different use scenarios, and sometimes even when I wasn't using it. Often when it shut down it would not start again (even though battery level was good). It would also not respond to charging (no battery indicator, no charging led). But after a while (sometimes 15 minutes sometimes several hours) it would start when I pressed the power button.
