Nokia has officially opened their newest mobile phone: the Nokia N8. The Nokia N8 runs on the latest OS from Nokia, Symbian 3. So is the Symbian 3 enough to compete with the iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7?
Design
The Nokia N8 has a 3.5 inch capacitive AMOLED touchscreen display with multi-touch input. Multitouch is a first for Nokia as the previous version of Symbian does not support multitouch. The N8 will initially be available in five colors: dark gray, green, blue, silvery white and orange. There is not much information in terms of what materials the N8 will be built, but Mobile-Review indicates that the build quality is really good.
Features
I was excited about Symbian 3. I thought that Nokia would finally achieve something great. However, looking at the pictures of Mobile-Review site, I was really disappointed. The user interface is the same, the home screen looks the same as the Nokia N97. Too bad there is no video to see how responsive the screen is or how they are implemented multitouch. Although the user interface is a disappointment, the Nokia N8 offers many possibilities.
The first is the 12-megapixel camera, but Nokia is not the phone company first time a press release of 12 megapixels, they are still one of the best manufacturers of mobile phones with cameras. The Nokia N8 also has 720p video recording, again, this is not the first for a mobile phone, but we have samples first video of the N8 to view the video to see how it fairs against the Vivaz or Samsung i8910 HD. What is the first is just the latest Nokia mobile phone with mini-HDMI port. Hopefully Nokia will also take the cable in the package instead of the buyers to purchase separately, but again, we do not expect this will be realized. Another feature that can boast the Nokia N8 is about 16 GB of internal memory expandable to 32GB with a microSD card, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. And do not forget that Symbian 3 shows the cross-platform applications so that all applications developed for Symbian and Meego will be compatible with Symbian 3.
Look
Many technophiles people may be disappointed by Symbian 3 on the Nokia N8, but do not let that die-hard fans of Nokia because of the simplicity of Symbian interface is forgotten. It does not matter how many times you go to Nokia phones, the learning curve is practically zero, because the interface is the same. So maybe Nokia is shown how Symbian 3 and decided not to change that much. After all, they are still number one in the world.
