The Nokia N8 operates on the all new Symbian 3 operating system, made to match the ability and functionality of the Apple iPhone and Android. As an example, it will incorporate support for gestures such as multi-touch, flick scrolling and pinch-to-zoom. The only probelm we can see, is that customers in the UK, will have to wait so long for this mobile phone hit the shops.

That aside, the looks and the style of the Nokia N8 are really great and it contains the capabilities to match with on-demand world wide web TV and all the apps it is easy to download through the Ovi Store. That will include the fantastic Ovi Maps that this week introduced a plan to permit owners to use their own voice to give them directions. Simply just download the software and record your own tones to complement the prompts it delivers.

Once again, just like its current competition - like the HTC Desire and the soon to be released iPhone HD, you will find various homescreens for various events that could be full of apps and widgets in addition to multi tasking and all your social network wants. Facebook and Twitter updates will also be bundled into one single handy application and you may put events from your FB calendar in the phone's very own diary.

One of the features that right away grabs you about the N8 is its extremely excellent digital camera function. This smartphone has an 12 mega-pixel version with ace Carl Zeiss lens, highly effective Xenon flash and a sensor that Nokia says will rival traditional digital cameras. You may furthermore have the ability to record hd video and edit the movies, and your pics, on the fly using the handset's built-in tools.

It won't be cheap that is one thing I can gaurantee, if you would like it off contract but the networks will almost certainly offer this at no cost on a high priced monthly deal or maybe offer it for about £100 on the more basic contracts, which will be low on inclusive minutes and text messages. The issue is the new iPhone HD could well be here by the time this finally does release, and 12 Megapixel camera or not, it's going to be tough to steal the head lines when the rest of the functions are so similar.
