GOOD NEWS!
Nokia N8 has started SHIPPING!
Official press release:
Nokia N8 shipments have started
September 30, 2010
Espoo, Finland -Nokia's latest entertainment smartphone, the highly anticipated Nokia N8 with Ovi services, has started shipping. Customers who have placed a pre-order for the Nokia N8 in Nokia Online Shops and Nokia retail stores will be the first to receive their Nokia N8. Market availability will vary by country and by operator, with broad availability in the coming weeks.
"With the N8, and the new Symbian software, we are bringing a familiar, faster and more intuitive user experience to the world's most popular smartphone platform. The Nokia N8 has received the highest amount of consumer pre-orders in Nokia history and we are thrilled to start shipments of the N8, the first of Nokia's new Symbian smartphone range," says Jo Harlow, Senior Vice President, Smartphones, Nokia.
"To appeal to today's high-end buyers, smartphones have to be enjoyable, useful and beautiful. Ease of use, excellent multimedia performance and elegant design are all essential elements of the package," says John Delaney, Research Director, IDC.
The first of a series of smartphones based on the new Symbian, the Nokia N8 is fast and easy to use and supports true multitasking, allowing users to run multiple apps simultaneously and switch between them easily. Dubbed the world's best camera phone, the Nokia N8 lets you take the highest quality photos and shoot HD-quality videos in supreme clarity with the 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics. You can edit photos and videos on-screen and choose from multiple ways to share them; transfer large files to an external hard-drive with USB-on-the-go, or upload photos to social networks like Facebook, Twitter or RenRen straight from the homescreen. All this is delivered in a robust aluminum body in a range of vibrant colors with a real-glass 3.5" AMOLED display.
The Nokia N8 has a black belt in entertainment. Its WebTV apps from channels like E! Entertainment, National Geographic and CNN and the intuitive music player inject an element of fun into idle moments. Plug the device to the home entertainment center to watch HD-quality videos from the big screen with full Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound. The latest version of Ovi Store, available first on the Nokia N8, gives easy access to more apps - from social networking services like Foursquare to games like Need for Speed Shift or productivity apps like Tesco in the UK.
Like other Nokia smartphones, the Nokia N8 comes with free Ovi Maps walk & drive navigation in more than 70 countries worldwide, with no hidden costs. The latest beta release of Ovi Maps is also available for download from Nokia Beta Labs for the Nokia N8. It features visibility to public transport in 85 cities around the world, as well as real-time traffic, safety camera alerts, visibility to parking and petrol stations, and speed limit warnings.

Wow, while browsing the net for a new cell phone, this one popped out as the most popular on GSM Arena site (a very big and influential cell site). I was surprised to see the N8 has well over 100.000 votes! I was even more surprised to see the cell is not even out yet. If it is so popular even before its release, I imagine it will be THE cell to have when released. Has there been a cell phone as popular as this? For this reason alone,I have decided to get me one.

For all you sooks crying about the delays....get over it. I can just imagine how you would all react if they released it early and full of bugs,so instead of another N97 stuff-up,they hold it back to make sure its fine and...you have a big cry. I,for one,dont care about waiting. Im happy that nokia are taking thier time with this,because its going to be great!

Price definitely seems to be less. But does anyone out there knows the exact price?
in some sites its RS.22000, some 23 some even 28… so its very much certain its between 22 and 28k. I’d say its like 24-25k as the specs aint that impressive with just 680 mhz processor and 256 RAM whereas the whopping 1ghz snapdragons and hummmingbirds are romin around with price range of 16k’s. But the 12MP carl zeiss optics with 28mm wide angle lens and xenon flash will be something for which i am willing to pay 25k…. So lets keep our fingers crossed
