Nokia N8 taking Symbian to the next level

The newly announced Nokia N8 is set to improve Nokia’s offering in the smartphone marketplace. Sporting a large screen and bags of features, can it compete with the already hugely successful iPhone, and HTC Desire?
The Nokia N8 will come complete with a 12 megapixel camera sporting the usual Carl Zeiss lens and Xenon flash. The camera will be capable of capturing HD footage and even better you can relay this footage on any HD ready TV via its HDMI output. For a more detailed explanation of the camera specs check out this Nokia N8 review. There are a couple of other nice features as well. We particularly like the 16GB of internal storage as standard. This is very similar to the Nokia X6 16GB and of course you can expand this to 32GB via its Micro-SD slot.
Perhaps the most notable feature of the Nokia N8 is the fact that it will be the first handset to make use of the new Symbian 3 Operating system. This promises to allow the use to use multiple Apps at once, as well as offering pinch and grab functionality. We may sound a little cynical, but you can probably expect an Apple lawsuit to follow, if the pat years antics are anything to go by.
We are really excited about the Nokia N8 and cannot wait to get our hands on it to have a play with the new OS, as soon as we know more we will be sure to let you know here.
