History

The N8 became the product with the most customer pre-orders in Nokia's history up to the point of its release. Despite those high pre-order numbers sales for the N8 have been lagging. The device has never been marketed in key markets such as Japan, and in October 2011 sales will be halted in North-America, when Nokia will retire all of its high-priced Symbian models in exchange for a push of its first Windows Phone 7 models.

Power

Nokia N8 has dual charging options. It requires either a standard-pin Nokia charger or a 'flat pin' "micro"-USB charger. When connected to a computer or any other electronic device the aforementioned 'flat pin' "micro"-USB connection will also charge the device. Nokia recommends that users only use Nokia specific chargers though the device gets charged with any "micro"-USB chargers.

The Nokia N8's battery is not easily removable or replaceable, which may inconvenience the user in case the device "freezes" or "bricks". Although this procedure is not endorsed by Nokia, it is widely reported on the web that the battery actually is replaceable by removing two screws at the lower end of both sides of the phone. Alternatively, in case the phone freezes, users needing to temporarily cut power should keep the power button on the top side pressed for about 8 seconds, which will be followed by the phone vibrating 3 times and will power off and this will reboot the device. In case this still didn't work it means the device probably "bricked", necessitating the user to let the batteries run out before recharging the phone, or to manually remove the battery (not endorsed by Nokia) or to turn the device in at one of the Nokia Care Centres for repairs (as endorsed by Nokia).

The service is still offered in China, India and Indonesia with a 12-month subscription and in Brazil, Turkey and South Africa with a 6-month subscription. The reason for the closure in a majority of the markets where Ovi Music Unlimited was offered was due to a lack of popularity.
