Issues with Running Viber on Nokia N8 Phone
We asked a few of our readers who own Nokia N8 to download it using our tutorial and to report how did they like it. Well, they do not appreciate the fact that you cannot make audio phone calls. The only thing you could do is text messaging which is also available for so many other apps. However, if your friends are on Viber, well they have over 100M users now, then you might find Viber app useful. Viber team must also be busy working day in and out to get us the Viber for Symbian app as soon as possible. If Viber team is reading this post, Viber for Nokia with the phone calling feature will make a great christmas gift for all of your Nokia users.
The second complain we heard was that many of the readers were not able to install Viber on their Nokia N8 devices. However, this was the case when they had an operating system prior to Anna. If you are running an old operating system, it is time you upgraded your mobile phone. It is not that difficult after all and Anna as well as Belle adds so many security features to your already amazing smartphone. Nokia N8 is best used with Belle (Symbian) operating system and then you can also enjoy Viber on your precious possession.
