Nokia has truly stepped up to the mark with their new Nokia N8 touchscreen phone, coming with, amongst other things, an exciting and innovative design. Stepping away from the customary black box typically seen with touchscreen phones, Nokia designed the N8 with a bit of ergonomic flair to stand out next to its counterparts - in addition to voiding the black color option (though a dark gray version is available). More impressively, Nokia has finally delivered a phone with a 12 megapixel camera and coupled it with the all new Symbian^3 operating system.
When looking at the Nokia N8, you will first notice the OLED touchscreen display, featuring a 360×640 resolution that is 3.5″ in size. While you might not find the 800 pixel wide screens that some competitors use, it is a fantastic budget option for those who want an HTC Desire but cannot afford such an expensive phone for their needs. This will do all those other phones can do, but for a much smaller price.
With the 12 megapixel camera, you can find Carl Zeiss optics, a Xenon flash, and the ability to get 720p HD video recorded onto the phone. What’s more, the sensor on the N8 can beat many high end digital cameras, which is another fantastic feature - besides, the sensor and the optics far outweigh the megapixels when it comes to quality pictures.
You can even play various types of media on this phone. With the help of the Nokia N8, you can watch MPEG4 video, as well as Flash and Real video, and listen to WMA, AAC and MP3 music files, letting you have music on the go. The FM transmitter on the phone allows you to play your audio files through an FM radio completely wirelessly.
The N8 is one of a handful of phones that support the super fast 802.11n wifi protocol, along with the normal 802.11 b and g protocol. As a 3.5G device, every major UMTS is compatible with the phone. For HSDPA, the maximum achievable upload speed is 2.0 Mbps, with a maximum download speed of 10.2 Mbps. Nokia issues the N8 standard with an impressive 16 GB of memory. While most consumers will find the memory package plenty for their use, anyone wanting to use their N8 for extensive video capture will want to take advantage of the microSD slot that can add up to 32GB of memory to the device.
Naturally, there is a lot more to the N8 than the hardware; the Symbian^3 OS is introduced with this particular model, and it features multi touch support, pinch to zoom, 3D graphics acceleration, home screens, and kinetic scrolling to make this phone more intuitive than anything you have experienced before.
