The Nokia N8 mobile also doubles as a portable entertainment center. Check out HD quality video with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound and connect into a specialist Web TV app for access to news and entertainment on the road. It isn’t simply it’s 12 mega-pixel digital camera and HD video skills with HDMI support that sets the Nokia N8 aside from other units. Packing more memory than most, the Nokia N8 mobile phone has 16GB of built-in storage and is expandable as much as 48GB using a micro SD card.
Joining the social messaging fold with the likes of the latest Eseries and Cseries devices, the N8 enters the fray with live Twitter and Facebook updates direct to your homescreen. Comment, read and send messages, update your status and share your location and photos with one touch. Embracing location based services, the N8 is location-savvy and comes with free global Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation with support in more than 70 countries worldwide.
Powering the Nokia N8 mobile phone is the all-new Symbian 3 platform. This latest incarnation introduces major new advances including multi-touch and support for gestures such as pinch-to-zoom. Onboard there’s also three customisable homescreens that can be loaded with applications and widgets and flicked through by a swish of the finger. There’s also improved 2D and 3D graphics for a faster and more responsive UI, greater memory management and a visual task manager.
Obviously, the Nokia N8 includes access to the complete selection of Ovi services and it’s Nokia’s first smartphone to be integrated with Qt. Got and idea for an application? Qt is a software development environment that means it is a breeze to construct applications and release them throughout the Symbian and other software programs.
From the photographs, this looks a very smart looking phone and will be available in Black, Green, Blue, Silver and also Orange. Nokia have given it a Q3 2010 release window.
