The Nokia N8, the Finnish company’s next roll of the smartphone dice, has had its Vodafone UK pricing unveiled, coming in slightly cheaper than expected.
Surprisingly affordable
Vodafone’s pre-release page pegs the Nokia N8 at just £320 SIM free. For that price you’re getting what is arguably Nokia’s most heavily specced phone of all time.
Look what it can do!
This latest Nokia smartphone comes with a 12MP(!) camera that can also do HD video recording. Being a legitimate HD device, it also packs an HDMI out slot for viewing your video content on high definition televisions. Internal memory is a very generous (though increasingly standardised) 16GB.
The really big deal for this touch-based phone loving generation is the display on this smartphone. The Nokia N8 has a gorgeous, large (though actual dimensions are still uncomfirmed) and bright OLED, capacitive touch display.
Hail Mary number 3!
With every new Nokia smartphone, we’ve developed a bit of a tradition of referring to them as Hail Maries. You see, with the N97 before this and the N900, somewhat, it always seems as if Nokia will finally get the formula of developing a compelling, game-changing, smartphone right. But they keep missing. The N97 was very disappointing, Nokia admit themselves, and the N900, as phenomenal a handset as it is, had one too many software bugs to go on our ‘no-brainer’ purchase list.
This time, the Nokia N8 comes packed with the new Symbian^3 OS, Nokia’s latest attempt at building an operating system on par a pr with (or superior to) iPhone OS and Android and, who knows, maybe the Finnish mobile giants will get it right this time
Release scheduled
This Nokia smartphone is said to be releasing in Q3, though evidence indicates otherwise. It appears the folks at Vodafone UK think it may come up for air a little early, sometime in July or so. Which is both good news and bad news. It’s good news in the sense that we get to play with it sooner. And it is potentially bad news, in the sense that that will be around the expected release window for the iPhone 3GS successor, which may not be all so healthy, all things considered.
