Thanks to a spec list which includes a 3.5 inch touchscreen, 16GB of onboard storage capacity,Nokia N8 - A Stunning Multimedia Phone  Articles Wi-Fi internet and a camera boasting no less than 12 megapixels, the Nokia N8 offers something for everyone, and poses a serious threat to the mainstream smartphone models.

 

The kick off, the Nokia N8 looks great. Its angular lines and sleek profile make it as aesthetically pleasing as any other phone currently available; however the Nokia N8 has a trick up its sleeve, with the availability of several bright colour variants. This is a smart move from the manufacturer as many people now see their mobile phone as a fashion statement. The front of the handset is dominated by a sizeable 3.5 inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. This boasts the ability to display up to 16 million pixels within its setup of 360x 640; the result being superb quality display of the onscreen imagery. Proximity and accelerometer sensors are provided as standard as well as multi-touch input support and Gorilla glass protecting it from damage, should the worst happen.

 

Users who like to take everything with them will love the N8. The standard storage capacity is a whopping 16GB. This is before you even take into consideration the integrated microSD slot which can accommodate a card of up to 32GB! Therefore users can store their music collection within their phone, along with videos (the built in media player supports numerous file formats of both music and video files) or MS Office documents. This level of storage is particularly those who wish to use the camera on a regular basis, as they can keep a substantial amount of photos and even HD video stored within the phone between trips to the computer where they can be transferred via microUSB.

 

The Nokia N8 boasts a 12 megapixel digital camera, and this is indeed its flagship feature. It currently makes the Nokia N8 arguably the most advanced cameraphone on the market. It comes with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and autofocus to name but a few of its features. The added bonus of HD video recording adds to its appeal, and this is in 720p quality. Therefore, users can enjoy full HD video on the big screen by connecting the handset to a compatible TV via the TV-out port.

 

The Symbian^3 OS works in conjunction with a 680MHz processor to provide a fast and versatile user experience. This platform allows additional apps to be downloaded from the Ovi Store, further increasing the phones functionality, meaning the sky is the limit in terms of customisation and expansion.

 

Whether you are looking for a powerful multimedia device, a highly competent digital camera or a powerful internet browsing device, the Nokia N8 deserves a place on your shortlist when choosing a new smartphone.
