Nokia N8 / Sim Free / Unlocked / 12 Megapixel / Touch Screen Mobile Phone / Dark Grey

Finally it has arrived! On top of the headline grabbing 12mpxl HD 720p camera with proper flash (which is so far excellent) I could spend ages listing all the features not mentioned above, but I'll pick a few of the obscure but useful: FM transmitter to play through your car radio, full iPlayer support with radio streaming and TV streaming/downloads over 3g or wifi, facebook and twitter widgets that show info from the icon without going in to the app, mutliple mailboxes with headers of the most recent 2 messages in the widget icon... and of course FLASH support so you can actually browse all of the internet.

I like the way you can assign priorities to multiple wifi or 3g data connections, so it will try your home wifi when going online then if thats not available will revert to 3g seamlessly

Everyone is obsessed with the 'apps', the itunes store is 99% full of badly written and pointless junk. With the N8 you get the 1% of good stuff either included already or available free to download from ovi store (eg, the panorama picture app). Plus ovi allows online backup and management of contacts etc

Standard size headphone / headset socket on the top next to the HDMI port. The included charger is a mini-USB style and plugs in the side, but as far as I can tell there is also the old-style round nokia charger socket on the bottom - so that'll be handy!

Of course, seeing as its a Nokia it makes and receives calls with no signal issues!

An excellent phone. Well made and stylish looking. Features are good including video editing and 12mp camera. HDMI to upload to tv is good quality too.

I really like the metal feel and bright screen. Its a little weighty but you know its well made. Slim too. Nice silver edging to buttons and good sound.
Speedy navigation and smooth screen movements.

Overall a very, very good phone by nokia.

had the n8 since launch and even sold an iphone4 to buy one

been a nokia lover for ages but after they dryed up a bit i went for an iphone4

as soon as the n8 hit the stores i had to try one out and boy i wasnt dissapointed

it was no hassle to sell the iphone4 and stick with the n8 , the n8 is just the perfect convergance device , with the xenon flash you can take pics night and day ina wesome quality

seriously the photo quality is immense , after you have taken a pic zoom into it and check the captured detail you wont believe its from a camera phone , the detail captured was better then that from my samsung wb600 12mp digital camera its that good and iam now selling the wb600 as apartfrom optical zoom the n8 out performs it in almost every type of shot

wether your using the n8 as a camera , music player , social networking hub ,email device , gps device , web browser , gaming machine or for everything like me it wont dissapoint you pr1.0 firmware is very stable and there is a massive update coming soon adding 50+ ui tweaks and extras

symbian3 shouldnt be compared to other versions of symbian its much much beter and refined and will be recieving alot of updates

i could go on about the n8 all day but its so much to cover

to sum it up it does eevrything really well , is made well , built out of high grade materials and is fun to use and own , the gps is superb and the music player is excellent as is the video player that plays avi and divix out of the box

the box contents are also very good with all the cables you need for hdmi and usb2go etc making it even more of a bargain

another quick thing the iphone4 and the n8 cost the same to make yet the n8 can be bought for 300 from shops and the iphone4 around 550

its a really good phone that i wouldnt hesitate to recomend infact i wanna buy another as a backup i love it that much lol :-)

I was inspired by all the reviews on here about this phone, and am glad i made the right choice. This really is the Phone to have..I planed to get it for a while, and for my first smart phone, I know i made the correct decision. I love the way you can just make it whatever you want...its no iphone, not made to be an iphone, MADE TO BE BETTER, AND IT IS!

replaced this for my nokia n86, took the plunge and opted for a touchphone due to being used to the operating software on nokia's, the camera is fantastic and it takes you next to no time to get used to the touchscreen operations, very innutative. You have to buy a separate hdmi lead to attach to your tv but if you do the quality is out of this world. Overall a fantastic piece of kit that in my opnion has alot for going for it then the iphone4, more benefits and less limitations, only down side is that the battery is built in so be warned that if you spend alot of time on line or using the sat nav the battery lasts about 5 hours max...buy a car charger to not get caught out
