URGENT: Is it possible to download & install Symbian^3 on N8?

2 replies · 8,306 views · Started 02 February 2011

Wife got me a great new phone - a Nokia N8! Got an incredible deal on it! 🙄
Sadly, deal was so incredible because it's not running Symbian but some cheap Chinese clone software. 😮:frown:

1) Is there any way to check if the phone is real - not a fake Nokia N8? (and by all appearances it seems to be a real Nokia N8)

2) If so, is there any way to download and install Symbian^3 on it?

:icon4: We may have a chance to return the phone soon if I can't get Symbian on it, but if there's a chance of restoring to spec I need to know soon.

Thank you!

its just a very good copy it isnt a n8 with a different o/s , nothing on it will be the same as the n8 just made to look like a n8 , it wont run symbian get your money back as soon as possible mate

all i can suggest is getting your money back asap
