The Nokia N8 continues showing its endurance in the cruel smartphone market. I mean there are many handsets packed with more powerful features, but the demand on it doesn’t reduce. However, different mobile operators and retailers require rather affordable prices for it. One of such retailers is Carphone Warehouse, which asks £199.95.

Our good old-fashioned Nokia N8 is still the only smartphone with a 12MP camera on board. I believe it’s the key feature of this handset, though no one will disagree with me if I say the design and many other specs of this handset are not less interesting or powerful. Yes there were some “faulty” features most of which are corrected at the moment (the rest will be corrected in the near future). I am talking about Symbian^3 platform, which was the Achilles’ heel of the Nokia N8. However, the phone is currently running Anna and will soon get Nokia Belle, thus we have no holes.

For detailed information visit Carphone Warehouse’s web site.

With the Nokia N8 you will always be on top, a cool QWERTY keyboard, a 12 megapixel camera on the rear and Symbian ^3 OS on the board. I bet this is a real dream of all Nokia geeks.  Fully armed the Nokia N8 is always ready to put to shame all its competitors.

It’s already known that Nokia’s new smartphone will be launched on September 30, but those who have ordered Nokia N8 directly from Nokia could buy it starting September 28.

Nokia N8 will be exclusive at Nokia Online for a week before it goes on general sale. In Finland you’ll have to pay 499€ to get this phone.

Nokia N8 is the first smartphone to run Symbian 3. The handset is equipped with a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and a large sensor – features, which make Nokia N8 more competitive than the iPhone and most Android devices.

In addition, Nokia N8 offers the opportunity to make HD videos and edit them with an intuitive built-in editing suite.  Doubling as a portable entertainment center, people can enjoy HD-quality video with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound by plugging into their home theatre system.

After the digital camera social networking is the second remarkable feature of  Nokia N8. Users can view live feeds from Facebook and Twitter in a single app directly on the home screen. The Nokia N8 comes with free global Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation, guiding people to places and points of interest in more than 70 countries worldwide.

The cell phone giant has been slow to introduce high-end smartphones that appeal to users, particularly those in the U.S. market. This is the general reason why people choose iPhone and Android devices in the U.S. and, that’s why I think, the new Symbian smartphone will be welcomed  by American users.

Nokia N8 is Nokia’s first phone to be equipped 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.

As Reuters  reported, Nokia will release another smartphone E7 at Nokia World in London on Sept. 14. This device comes with a large touch screen and full keyboard.

Nokia E7 also runs Symbian 3 and is equipped with a  4 inch screen with 640×360 pixels resolution.The device has an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash on its backside. The price of Nokia E7 is still unknown.

According to Nokia’s official blog last year it was the Nokia N900, X6, N97mini and Nokia Booklet on the hardware side and Nokia Money, the Ovi SDK and navigation API on the software side, that bring success to Nokia. I think these two smartphones will bring more success to the manufacturer.

Expect more news from Nokia, as the Nokia Developer Summit 2010 will be held at the same time as Nokia World in London.

Nokia N8 smartphone was officially presented a month ago. In the press release of Nokia it was reported that the novelty will go on sale in the third quarter of this year, it will cost 370 euros without taxes and subsidies.

The novelty will be available in July (evidenced by a special Nokia stand, which has a timer counting down the days before the start of registration) for pre-order in Nokia Store , but at present it is available for pre-ordering in Amazon Germany store, where its value is equal to 469,50 euros. As for the Russian market, the camera phone is expected to be available by fall.

Let’s remember the main advantages of Nokia N8. The main pecularity of the device is its 12 megapixel camera capable of shooting video in HD-quality. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS are also available. The smartphone runs  on Symbian3 operating system, it has support for multitouch, multi-page desk and many other features.
