Why did you not call NOKIA? Your comment sounds fishy to me. If you emailed/called Nokia or chatted with Nokia, what is the case number?

I got my brand new N8 last week. I have AT&T.
I’m afraid it has all the same problems that my previous phone had – N97 8GB.
Potentially great hardware, but plagued by problems.
Regular resets. Poorly designed UI. Headphones in the package didn’t even work.
Now it’s sitting in front of totally dead, as in doornail.
Barring surprises I’ll be returning mine for a refund.

[...] It’s possible that the N8 or a similar Symbian^3 device could wash up on U.S. shores with a ca…, bringing the price to $199 or less. Such a price point is in line with high-end handsets like Apple’s iPhone 4 or any one of the many Google Android offerings. The N8 is meant to compete with these devices, but even with an improved operating system and app store, U.S. consumers won’t abandon the iPhone or an Android device in droves for the N8. Here’s a rundown of likes, dislikes and other observations from using the device over the past two weeks. [...]

@ garygromet & JP

With Nokia N8 you probabyl don’t even need JaikuSpot, because the handset has teethering over bluetooth 3.0

No problem! Hopefully when you call T-Mo, they don’t try to shuffle the shoe shine on ya and say that you can’t do it.

I just added the service to my account via the online method and it worked.

Hopefully T-Mo will allow you to get the $10 internet plan with the N8 as it has with other unlocked Nokia Devices.

Let me know what they tell you with the N8, cause if I shell out the $$ for the N8, the cheap data is one of the big reasons for doing so.

Thanks again. I’ll call T-Mobile and verify the $10 plan will allow me unlimited web. I’ll use T-Mobile’s prepaid cell service for a telephone number. Then I’ll order the N8 install Joikuspot and use it instead of my home phone and its DSL which costs $40 per month.You gave me better customer service than NokiaUSA did. My wife and I are 65 and she needs her own phone so that we can find each other when we are shopping. Your suggestions would be appreciated. garygrometatgmail.comk
