Nokia N8 review: Director of photography

12 October 2010
We’ve come to take Nokia for granted in the low end or the business class but it seems it has lost the knack for killer phones, run out of royal blood. It’s up to the Nseries to fix it all up. The Nokia N8 may just turn out to be the right cure. With that kind of hardware. Update, 08.02.2012: Symbian Belle update hands-on...

>Battery is not user-replaceable

I didn't know they posted something like this. Turns out you only need to loosen 1 screw on top and the top part opens. Just be careful with the ribbon.

    The Nokia N8 is a very awesome phone, with features like 16GB storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G networks, a camera with face detecting and geotagging, a GPS receiver with free life-time voice navigation, a Micro-HDMI port, a stereo FM radio, a built-in accelerometer and proximity sensor, and smart and voice dialing.
    As the reviewer said, the Finnish engineers loved to make a point about Symbian being the most resource-effective OS and they've seen it run reasonably fast indeed on even slower CPUs. And also, the N8 was never meant to compete with the iPhone 4 or the Galaxy S. At least, that’s what Nokia will gladly have you believe.

                              Simply awesome device, I have it for over 3 years now and it's great. This is a true Nokia of the past days, hopefully they will be able to make an impact like the N8 did when they are coming back to the industry.

                                Nokia should continue fighting using Symbian, targeting iOS and Android's failures. The minute they stop fighting, the minute they go to the ground. Find the flaws in iOS, Android. Turn them into Symbian advantages, improve social media and maybe get 4G LTE.

                                      Nokia n8 is the best phone ever. Even in Ghana it still hold price with some recent phones. Symbian OS does not drain battery unlike android. Nokia still maintains their name as the best smartphone manufacturer

                                        www, 01 Jul 2015bro, I know u from lumia 1020, PV 808 page. is it feasibl... moreIf you're a Nokia enthusiast it is worth buying an N8 if you still can. I love the N8's photo quality and for a 2010 phone it still beats most of the phones of today, and it's easy to make a good photo with the N8. In my opinion N8 makes more natural pics, but you can check this link for examples between bopth phones: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/18448_The_legendary_2010_N8_versus_t.php One other thing is that with the N8 you can store the photos on the SD card and easily transfer them with the SD card to the computer if you have many pics taken.
