it's no secret that the N8 software sucks! I know of one person who's N8 froze up and had to wait for his phone's battery to die so he could reset it! lol

Nokia N8 doesn't have a removable battery. That might be a reason ;-)

Torx screwdriver will open up the battery hatch or try the 8 second power button hold.

The N8 has an interrupt key (can't remember what it is right now), but even that didn't work. And yes, you need a screwdriver to remove the battery. You'll probably void your warranty in the process though.

Well, that means it was too stupid to use the phone ... he probably should get an iPhone, that one is easy even for my grandma. He just had to hold the on/off button for a few seconds .... ta daaaa ... magic!

This is normal with nokia. Nothing extraordinary. Especially, when Nokia wants to introduce new devices, the do the price slashing of their old devices.

At this point I don't think this will give them a big boost in sales

Agreed, only diehard Nokia fans will buy into the bargain bin, IMO.

As a former diehard Nokia fan, I can attest that I will not descend to buying a handset that is already obselete before it even comes off of the assembly line... no more Nokia for me.

nokia should change its tagline to "we do whats obvious"
Sometimes i wonder if the biggest book nokia management has read is red riding hood !

And a week ago the n8 was only $249 after rebate until they shut down their web store. Nokia is totally f**ked up anymore

"Hmmm... we've been running out of inventory, and closing down all our online stores and some physical retail stores. We've been manufacturing less phones than ever, introducing less new models than ever, and making less money than ever. We are pulling out of the Japanese market entirely, and US network operators are not selling our products a whole lot any more. What do you think we should do, Emporer... I mean, Mr. Elop?"
"Slash the prices... ALL of them."

What's the point when everyone around the world saw you NOKIA SOLD YOURSELF TO M$. Instead of joining Android OS where you can make some real money
