        The Nokia N8 is a great phone. It has an amazing camera, Symbian isn't too bad, and it's powerful enough to do pretty much anything you'd like it too.

        If you get one that works.

        Nokia's quality control is awful. I work in a phone store and we order twice as many N8's as we think we need, as 90% invariably come back as ELF/DOA. It is the N97 all over again, but worse, as there's so much more hype.

        Our warehouse (which sends phones to every store in my state) had to open each N8 they had in stock and try to turn it on to make sure faulty ones weren't filtering through to us. Even with them doing this we still have so many faulty ones!

        They are a terrible phone, so if you get one be prepared to spend plenty of time at your local phone store getting it replaced!
