Nokia N8 Grey details

With an industry-leading 12 megapixel camera and HD video recording, the Nokia N8 is a contender for the title of the best cameraphone around. It also packs in a richly colourful 3.5-inch touchscreen and a great media player and looks smart too.

Asking what the Nokia N8 does is an almost impossible question to answer. Like most phones in Nokia’s superlative Nseries, which are as close to pocket PCs as they are to smartphones, it’d probably be quicker to tell you what it doesn’t do.

Imaging capabilities that rival a dedicated digtal camera are just one of its selling points. Thanks to the 12 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens, Xenon flash you can expect to take great snaps every time. And the N8 is just as impressive when it comes video, recording your mini movies in rich high definition and Dolby Digital surround sound.

Need to be entertained by your smartphone? Then you’re also well catered for. Unlike some other smartphones, the N8 excels at running 3D games. Plus there’s a great web browser onboard too and a similarly brilliant media player.

To keep the handset running smoothly, Nokia has equipped the N8 with the latest iteration of its operating system Symbian 3. This combines with a powerful and ARM 11 680 MHz processor so that you’ll be able to run multiple applications simultaneously with minimum lag and open up apps in a matter of seconds.

Other features of the N8 include a customisable homescreen, built-in mapping software, a secondary camera for video calling, stereo FM radio, digital compass, push email with a document viewer for working on the go, social networking and an expansive 3.5-inch touchscreen with a multi-touch user interface.
