Nokia N8 Battery is Removable

Kim Poh Liaw — Mon, 03 May 2010 04:53:51 +0000

Although Nokia N8 battery can not be removed easily, but it will be just 2 screws away according to a prototype on ArabNokia forum. Once you take out the 2 screws at the 2 sides of the phone body, the bottom cover can be removed to access the battery slot. The battery can then be taken out. It is still troublesome though for those who carry a second battery and need to swap the battery outside, but the option is there. [via thenokiablog]
