NOKIA N8 REVIEW
Followers of Nokia will know well enough that the Finnish manufacturer hasn't come out with any ground-breaking smartphones for sometime.

Overall we have been surprised. We expected a reworked on N97 and it is not the case. The N8 promises real and not just for its specifications. In use, we really felt that Nokia is making efforts, especially in terms of responsiveness, and that's great.

Final Review of the Nokia N8: Detailed Debriefing
The model sports one speaker, but it is loud and clear and can be heard from any pocket or bag. I like the gentle and fast tremolo of the vibro, but the majority of users may find it feeble. There are no complaints about the communication quality. Everything works well.

Nokia N8 Review
The Symbian 3 operating system is a stepping stone in addressing those issues, and the Nokia N8 is the first smartphone to ship running the revamped OS. It certainly brings some much-needed improvements, such as a simplified touch interface and enhanced multimedia capabilities.
Cons:
- Great camera
- Superb battery life
- Clear and crisp screen
- Decent audio output
- Stylish aluminium casing
- HDMI-out port
- Average virtual keyboards
- Unintuitive UI
- Unimpressive internet experience
- Confusing connection management
- Poor social network integration

Nokia N8 Review
It feels like we've been talking about the Nokia N8 for a long time. February 2010 saw the first murmurings, followed by a string of leaks, rumors, semi-accurate previews and finally, around seven months later, a commercial release.

The Nokia N8 is the best Nokia has to offer. A few years back thousands of people would take this to mean the best on the market. Things are not that simple today and Nokia has been learning it the hard way. But the company has been learning.

Nokia N8 Review
The long anticipated Nokia N8 has finally made its way on the shelves and is trying to bring the Nseries to where it belongs, among the best devices in the world. Even though it might sound subjective, it seems that Nokia's Symbian^3 is still far from its Android and iOS competitors.
Pros:
- The first thing to notice is the phone's compact build and the stylish look
- I think Nokia took the path of simplicity and minimalistic look and that's a good thing in this case
- Of course the main attraction of the phone is the 12-megapixel camera, which is the best on the mobile phone market.
Cons:
- I think the main thing that drags the phone down is the same thing that should've boosted its sale, namely the Symbian^3 OS
- Other things that I consider downsides of the smartphone would be the lack of a free office document editor (the one included requires payment), video player has some issues,...

Why We're Not Reviewing The Nokia N8
As much as we'd love to see a great new phone from Nokia, we're not reviewing the N8. The phone was, unfortunately, irrelevant before it launched. Like a top-of-the-line horse-drawn carriage released shortly after Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon.

Nokia N8 Review
Could this be the phone to restore Nokia's reputation as a serious player in the smartphone market? We look at the first phone to showcase the new Symbian OS… Nokia has a lot to prove with the N8.

Nokia N8
While the likes of Apple, BlackBerry and HTC have been tearing ahead with updated technology and impressive platforms such as Android and iOS, Nokia has remained virtually static - determined to squeeze every last drop out of its proprietary, yet antiquated Symbian S60 platform.
Pros:
- Fantastic features
- great image capture options
Cons:
- Symbian S3 is still behind the times
