Do you get any options on boot? What kind of thing are we talking about, should be described in the manual?

What computer are you selling? And why are you coming back to the N8, lol???
Originally posted by LikeASong:Is battery really better on the N8 than on the Lumia?? Wow. Mine is starting to seriously fail. I think dropping and hitting the phone a million times would have had an impact; everything is perfectly working, but battery is pretty much fucked up.
Yours seems like a good strategy anyway. Do you plan on getting a used N8 ora new one? They're cheap enough new.
