I've recently purchased Nokia N8,

Surprised by the warning mentioned in page no.10 of its user guide!

Otherwise a good mobile with excellent cam,no doubt!

N8 looks more of 5800 than usual 3.5" display,snappy UI,absence of portrait KB is really felt!

....more to come...!

^^^^Thanks gagan007,

I think Nokia is wrong and panicking microSIM users without any reason,

I've tested BSNL microSIM from my iPhone4 and inserted it in N8 using adapter,

and ....it works well without any problem!

Only thing you need a good microsim adapter,usually available in eBay.
