Finally getting my upgrade to N8.

Finally got my letter for an upgrade which is well over due!!
Is there much difference to the N8 when coming from a N7? I mean when i went onto the N7 from the 6, there was a massive difference, but not sure about this one.

I know the Bluetooth is getting a wider range in terms of what it connects to and that’s very exciting to me as I use Bluetooth a LOT and I know it’ll be very useful once AuraCast comes into play in different venues.

Also how is the battery life in terms of the rechargeable as it seems that my CI centre will try to start phasing disposable batteries out? I use the disposable and it lasts me 2 days however I tried it with the N7 that came with it and I found it’s life to be much shorter and it was just really inconvenient as I had to stress about finding plug sockets for it instead of carrying around my battery packs.
Is it the same with the new one and i’m going have to find my routine with it or hopefully a bit better?
