The Nokia N8 can take some getting used to, due to its brand new Symbian ^3 operating system. If you’ve just bought a Nokia N8, then join us after the break. We’ll be looking at how to copy phone numbers from your old telephone to your Nokia N8, and how to switch between the SIM card memory and the phone memory itself…

Before you take your SIM card out of your old phone, make sure you copy all of the phone numbers and contact details to it. This will allow you to copy over all the information – even if your old phone isn’t a Nokia – to your new Nokia N8.

Plug in your old SIM card, and turn on the Nokia N8. Click on the menu button, and then press Contacts. Then press SIM numbers – you’ll be offered a large drop down menu with various different features.

Tap Copy All To Phone, and click Yes when you’re asked if you want to copy all SIM numbers to the phone memory. Your contact details will then all be swapped across to your Nokia N8.

If you’re using a new SIM card, simply take the old one out, and switch them over. If you want to view numbers on the SIM card, or on the phone itself, click Options, Settings, and pick whichever option suits you best.

    I’ve had a play with the Nokia N8, the new HTC Desire HD and two different windows 7 phones today and of all of them the OS on the Nokia is by far the worst to use, it just feels dated. Windows 7 was very easy to use but for now Android still just about gets my vote.
