The mobile phone industry is gearing up and preparing for the release of one of the biggest smartphones on the market for some time this summer. The phone in question is created by Nokia and will be called N8. On this page, I will review what this high-end, feature-rich mobile phone will have to offer buyers in the coming months.

The Nokia N8 is powered by the latest edition of the Symbian operating system, Symbian 3. Customize one of three home screens with interactive widgets, shortcuts and content, and navigate with a flick of the touch screen. Enhance your N8 with downloadable apps you can get from the Ovi Store and run multiple apps with ease thanks to the improved memory management built into this device.

The Nokia n8 smartphone comes with exceptional optics, superb styling and design, on-demand TV for channels like CNN and National Geo, and a host of features that put the Nokia N8 mobile phone squarely at the head of the pack. The 12-megapixel digital camera shoots 720p video and Carl Zeiss professional optics combine with a xenon flash, facial recognition and geo-tagging to bring you possibly the best camera and video package on the market. The multimedia story doesn’t end here though, with innovative inclusions of an HDMI interface for TV or projector connectivity and Dolby Digital Plus technology for compatibility with home theater systems – we think that’s a nice added bonus.

The Nokia N8 features a stunning 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen with multi-touch technology that supports pinch-to-zoom on maps and in the web browser. The N8’s touchscreen is fast and responsive, and it also supports automatic screen rotation thanks to a built-in accelerometer and proximity sensor that automatically puts the screen in standby mode if you’re on a phone call. Without a doubt, this will allow you to save on the battery life of your mobile phone.

The Nokia n8 can download applications from the Ovi store through the 3G HSDPA web browser. For music addicts, there’s an FM radio and Nokia’s music player. The Nokia N8 comes with 16 GB of internal memory in the phone. If this is not enough for you, it can be increased up to 48 GB. This will give you more space to store all your favorite music tracks. The battery life is also excellent, it will offer users around 50 hours on just one charge. This is far more than you’d get from other feature-packed, high-end mobile phones on the market, which often have very poor battery life.

Connectivity options are diverse with quad-band roaming, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Emails are handled by a unified email client, while instant messaging capability and SMS in a conversational view will seamlessly complete virtually any customer communication need. Nokia also offers free GPS navigation and Ovi Maps that provides turn-by-turn voice-guided directions on foot or by car. The Nokia N8 mobile phone is an excellent smartphone package with too many features to describe in one article, but we are trying our best.

So, this is a really stylish looking mobile that will make your friends very jealous. However, the thing does not end here, since the Nokia N8 is not just a mobile phone with good looks. It has substance to back up its outward appearance. The features are useful and usable, and the addition of a 12-megapixel camera, said to rival stand-alone cameras, is a very welcome addition and a big move from Nokia.
