Maybe has something to do with overlapping 850 and 1900 frequencies? I read that upgrading the firmware to the latest kinda fixes it, but I don't think it's a guaranteed fix.

Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. Doesn't affect me, hopefully it doesn't affect the N8. =)

Can you sign into your google account in google maps and sync starred items? I remember being able to do this with s60 devices and I seem to remember being able to import starred items into Nokia Maps. Is this still possible? Thanks

Thanks the truth, it almost worked for me but I can't seem to be able to open up maps from my contact s

Does anyone know if texts are grouped as a conversation or is it still single msgs like with the E63?

Can someone post screen shots of the texting pages?

Default view is conversations. Single message view is still available.

I don't know about the N8, but in the N97 I could do that with Google maps

I am pretty sure I Remember being able to do that with the n86 and e75

It was a great feature, especially when switching phones

I loved that feature to, the funny thing is my favorites on ovi maps are starred items on google maps, but not the reverse, so google reads my favorites from ovi, but ovi dont read google.
