Nokia introduces the Nokia N8, our latest smartphone that intuitively connects to the people, places and services that matter most. The Nokia N8 enables people to create compelling content, connect to their favourite social networks and enjoy the latest on-demand Web TV programs and Ovi Store apps.

The Nokia N8 introduces a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and a large sensor that rivals those found in compact digital cameras. People can also make HD-quality videos and edit them with an intuitive built-in editing suite.

The Nokia N8 offers a true home theater experience with HD quality film and Dolby Digital Plus surround sound. You can plug the device to your home theatre system with an HDMI cable.

The Nokia N8 enables access to local and global Web TV services that deliver TV programs, news and entertainment from channels such as CNN, National Geographic, E! Entertainment and Paramount directly on the homescreen.

People can update their status, share location and photos, and view live feeds from Facebook and Twitter in a single app directly on the home screen. Calendar events from social networks can also be transferred to the device calendar.

The Nokia N8 comes with free global Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation, taking you where you want to be and showing you what want to see in over 70 countries worldwide.

The Nokia N8 has 16GB of in-built storage space, expandable up to 48GB with a Micro SD card. Large files can be easily transferred to a memory stick with the USB On-the-Go.

With this announcement, Nokia is offering developers a new platform to innovate on. The Nokia N8 comes integrated with Qt, a software development environment that simplifies the development and makes it possible to build applications once and deploy across Symbian and other software platforms. Nokia has also made the simple to use Nokia Qt SDK available, in its initial beta, to enable developers to start realizing the potential of Qt.

The Nokia N8 will be available in select markets during the third quarter of 2010.

The Nokia N8 marks the global device debut of the new Symbian^3 software, featuring several major advancements:

Usability enhancements across the user interface, including single tap, multi-touch and support for gestures such as “pinch-to-zoom.”
Three personalizable homescreens on the Nokia N8, easily maneuvered through by a simple flick.
Faster and more responsive user interface with new 2D and 3D graphics architecture that takes full advantage of hardware acceleration.
More efficient memory management allows more applications to run in parallel for a faster, more complete and efficient multi-tasking experience.

My desktop has a 3.2ghz processor with 4gb ram and runs windows xp professional. My laptop has a 2.2ghz processor with 3gb ram. It takes my desktop twice as long as my laptopto start up microsoft encarta . It takes an imbecile to assume higher processor work rates mean faster speeds. I'm sick of dumb posts like that. 1ghz my ass.

A 2ghz intel dual core processor processes data faster than a 2.2ghz amd turrion. THE ONLY THINGS YOU CAN KNOW FOR SURE BY THE WORK RATE OF A PROCESSOR ARE HOW MUCH POWER IT CONSUMES AND HOW MUCH HEAT IT PRODUCES. Higher work rates don't necessarily mean faster processors talk less how fast the device it powers runs. Be rational.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

You whose complaining about the battery. My nokia n95 8gb user a 1200mah battery. My pals n900, a 1500mah. He charges his phone every night. I, every other day.

You're being too narrow minded. Looking at a battery specification and assuming the rest. Very much irrational.

we don't want the n97 embarrassing performance when compared to iphone.

i think people here ,should ask nokia to increase the processor speed and the ram size of the phone ,and not just spreading the lies about how the phone is not suffering from any issues,also they should stop posting long meaningless opinions.
some one yesterday gave a link on the youtube for a rally game on the n8,the graphics are very nice but the gamers will notice that far objects (like the trees)in the game appears suddenly when the car approaches,and this effect is due to low ram which can not accommodate many details on the screen in the same time.

[deleted post]I am a nokia fan from india. Waited for n900 but when i saw n8 i liked but can't wait too long. If it comes to market before august i will buy it or else i switch to other brand. And one thing i like n8 only because of 12mp camera and otg. But i doubt its speed because of its processor and ram. Because it is not up to date. So my suggestion before release let them make 1gig processor and 512mb ram
