Nokia N8 Unlocked-Unbranded now available in Canada

I did the ASPM function yesterday, got an email saying it was good adn a ref number. Went in today, gave em my number and boom that was that :) Got it on order as we speak. They are hoping it makes it out here so i can pick up friday :)
 
Well, it's been charging for a couple of hours now with a USB wall charger.

From the .pdf manual that I got from Nokia's web site and printed out, there is a small LED next to the microUSB socket that is supposed to be on when charging via USB. But it has never come on for me, even after a couple of hours.

It's still as dead as it was when I got it this morning. Stone cold dead!:mad:

Anyway, I've got an RMA from Newegg so I'll keep trying and send it back on Monday if it won't turn on, boot, or show any signs of life.

Lucky!
Twice I tried the ASPM function and twice I got denied. Mind telling me which colour you did the ASPM with?
Dark Grey and Silver didn't do for me.
 
I got that also, but when I press the top power button (did this repeatedly till I got something), it goes into this charging bootup, just Nokia logo on the screen, and charging symbol in top right corner, and then that charging led light turns on. Well after a couple hours, I got the battery to 100 percent, and I can now boot into the device. Everything so far is working again. Cross my fingers.

I wonder if the battery can work loose, because of shipment? I tried hitting the top of the phone into my left hand a number of times, to see, if that had any effect of pushing the battery tighter into the connectors. I don't have the correct torx screw driver to open up and check.
 
Interesting, i assume you have friends or something on the other side you can ship to? has anyone used them and shipped across border?
 
I went with the dark grey :) price matched from the newegg page and yeah worked great. although i am kinda lucking seeing as i am in the store on a regular basis and so they all know me, so my buddy dealt with it yesterday but no no issues at all.
 
I'm in Qu?bec.

I went back to Newegg.CA today and ordered a Kingston 32GB Class 4 microSDHC for my N8 and a 15' HDMI cable to plug my N8 into my flatscreen from the couch (Know the term couch-potato :lol:?) .

This evening I got tracking numbers for all three; the N8, the HDMI cable, and the 32GB microSDHC. Guess I should get them by the middle of next week.

thanks for that page, there's some good reading on it. the wifi thing doesn't bug me so much anymore. BUT, does anyone have a problem with the charging light?

I ran my battery down yesterday 'til it turned off. then i plugged it into charge. the first time the battery meter was staying on, so i turned the phone on and off again and this seemed to help. there's a while light that turns on when i plug in the charger, right beside the USB port. and its bright as %&$#. is there a way to turn it off? it really isn't necessary.
 
I ran the battery down yesterday also, for the first time, and the led light by the USB port does light up, when charging, but it's not that bright. I kinda like it, as it lets me know it's charging.

I charge by the port on the bottom of the phone, and not by USB, which does not make any difference in light intensity on my phone.

I don't see anything in the settings that allow this light to be turned off.
 
You serious? Thats insane, yeah no i went to NCIX's dark grey page, clicked the link, went directly to the page on Newegg where it was copied that into the box waited a couple hours and b00m got my e-mail saying it was approved and that it was only valid for 48 hours with my ref number, went in today and ordered, used my number and it went through just fine. Really weird that yours didn't.
