    Default Why not Nokia N8 ??

    I am curious, I notice that the Nokia N8 is not advertised on any of the three mobile provide sites. anyone have an idea as to why?

    Not so long ago, there were a plethora of Nokia phones available to the customers of the the three companies. now the offerings are so few, one has to wonder if the Nokia brand is being phased out.
    Simple is good.

    I Honestly think they only purchase phones by Frequency range .. to make sure their customers can't really run away to another company .. , and if my thoughts were in fact true then the Nokia N8 is their worse fear due to to its penta band and will work on any carrier your throw it to .. i should know , i played around with mine with multiple sim cards and they work perfectly fine

    I have a nokia n8 for about a week now. i love it

    All my friends love it too. The only thing I dont like about it is it easily slips out of your hand.

    in my opinion its because more ppl are gravitating towards BBs,Iphones and Android devices and not so much towards symbian....its a fairly simple strategy, dont buy what's not gonna sell

    As to nokia what do you call jail breaking? Is there unofficial symbian os floating around? I might not know.


    Mine is unlocked, not laggy at all. i would surely toss it if your statements were true.

    More than likely the telecom providers made some cost effective contracts with companies other than Nokia. Hey.. it's Nokia. That brand probably thrives in Europe anyway. Notice the unusual brands available nowadays? They offer other devices that darn near suck (sorry had to say) to push ppl towards BB . Neither do they want to compete with the countless ppl who sell unlocked devices. Not sure if symbian is very up to the time OS either in terms of features.

    So based on the comments thus far I can say that these reasons make sense

    1. cost effective ( I notice the Coral brand,,,, cheap phones made by Huawei)
    2. Contract with other manufacturers. (Blackberry comes to mind)
    3. Network accessibility. ( easy migration to another provider)

    However, I would have thought that the Nokia Goodwill could have been easily capitalized upon with those who are not "into" the techie gimmickry of "Smartphones", with mobile providers just selling the phone as a familiar, well balanced instrument that is on par or even better than the Blackberry.

    giving a n8 to a none techie is a bad idea. it is surely a techies device.
