SymTorrent is a cool BitTorrent client for Nokia N8. You can download multiple torrents with this software and you can pause or resume the downloads. Torrents can be started from the internet browser. Remember this is free and it's open source, so please support the developers on their website.

ps. It seems that this torrent software can be found only at the link above, because OVI Store has removed it from its database due to some music copyright infringement.

Just in case you missed it...

On my old N82 I used QReader, but that does not work so good on my N8. That's why I searched for an alternative.



Albite Reader is an open source software for your N8. It looks great, and as you can see in the video has plenty of ways to optimize and make it fit your needs.

If you are not pleased with the original Nokia N8 home screen, there are many apps that will change it for you. I love Voyager Home Screen because it allows me to customize my home screen with amazing clocks, start menus, weather and news, smart dialing, google, events and many more features. This N8 app also features multiple screens (just like Android) for me to change, and the transition is very smooth compared to the Nokia N8's original.

Voyager Home Screen (vHome) is the most powerful desktop UI on Nokia phones.Give you HTC Sense and iPhone style UI on S60 , and totally free! Powerful home screen features include: 1) Beautiful big retro clock or analog clock 2) News feeds and weathe 3) Put all your apps into neat pages to flick through ,like iPhone 4) one click on/off widgets: bluetooth, silent profile,phone lock. 5) send twits from home screen

You can use multiple free chat software when talking to your friends, but it seems that only a few are worth installing. So, here are the ones that got into my list:


1. NimBuzz - Free Calls, Chat, Messaging and more on your Nokia N8. Nimbuzz is the first in my list because it has a better interface and allows me to send pics more facile on Yahoo Messenger. Also features Facebook chat.



2. Fring - You can connect multiple chat clients. It's not that great when it comes to the interface, but it's the only software that let me make a video call. It uses it's one video call server.


3. Skype - You know what Skype is all about. What you don't know is that it does not have support for video calling on Symbian platform. That means you can only make audio calls on your Nokia N8. Maybe they will do something about this in the future, but for now, it's on the 3rd place in my list.

Nokia N8 is not the fastest smartphone on the market, but you can use some tips and tricks I'm using in order to boost it.

1. Don't use wallpapers on home screens.
2. When not using wifi, disable wifi search.
3. Disable/uninstall programs that autostart. You can do that using M-Guard
4. Disable programs that run in background. That will slow down your N8 and it will drain your battery.
5. Clear the browser cache memory
6. Update your firmware. Nokia always improve their OS from time to time.
7. For faster Homescreen response times, disable Themes Effects
Go to the MENU - SETTINGS - THEMES - GENERAL
Click below on OPTIONS - THEME EFFECTS and select OFF)
