Nokia have just released a much needed update for the Nokia N8 and this update is not yet available for Australian customers yet. Meantime, the integrated GPS hasn't been working on my N8 for months and months so I returned it to Nokia Care. They very promptly replaced my phone with a brand newy last week so I was keen to try the new Firmware.
Using Phoenix Slayer it's a piece of cake to reflash it to the new version. See this previous post for the procedure for this.
19/2/2011 Update: a couple of warnings about using the Syrian pack. It seems to disable the integrated GPS and the Social Network app is not present. I installed the APAC version and replaced the two rops2 and 3 files with the Syrian ones and got the GPS back with the Arabic. Still without the Social Networking app though. I'll do some more testing.
I used MEA6_DG_SYRIA (0599393)
