If so happen Nokia N8 hangs or not responding, how to switch off Nokia N8 since it is not easy to remove its battery covered inside the chassis?
Well, unless it is necessary to replace a faulty battery, you don’t have to remove the battery if N8 freezes, as there is a “hotkey” to forcibly restart or turn off devices running Symbian^3 Platform.
The shortcut to hard reboot Nokia N8 or device running Symbian^3 Platform
According to official guide, one can hard reboot Nokia N8 by pressing power button for 8 seconds or longer until the screen black out and then vibrates 3 times, if so happen the device software hangs or stops responding to touchscreen tapping or menu key pressing.
I guess every N8 owner knows where the power button is. Anyway, it is next to HDMI port, located at top-right corner of phone (labeled as 3 in the screenshot above).

(Not sure what are the side effects if that is not the case.)
