I would keep the N8. It's still the best camera phone out there and is getting the crucial Belle update in 2 weeks time, making the UI experience 10x better. Neither are you getting much out of N8 selling it as it was hugely popular, more value to keep it to yourself.

Actually thinking myself to buy N8 as the Belle update is nearing closer.
Belle is only two weeks away? Not bad. When Nokia said 'early 2012', I was thinking May 31st.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Belle. It really is a significant leap over <= Anna. I prefer the UX to that of Harmattan. It feels more 'grown up'. If they just added the swipe to minimise/close applications, it would be perfect. They could also do away with some of the more byzantine settings arrangements, which haven't really changed since S60 5th Edition.

The N8 is a really nice phone. There is just something about it that makes it feel 'right', especially for one-handed use. Much better than those ridiculous fondleslabs.
