If you have ever thought that Nokia has gone into the shadows equipped with a host of smartphone talents then you are wrong, because Nokia unveils N8, one of the best Super phone in N-Series probably.
This is the first device to be powered by the brand new Symbian 3 platform, the Nokia N8 will launch with a new super breed of camera that promises to capture photos and video beyond your imagination.
The biggest plus in the Nokia N8 is its 12-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash.
It also features a substantially BIGGER sensor than any ever used in any other Nokia device – even bigger than many found in dedicated cameras.The N8 is also the first Nokia device to support HD Video recording And also allows you to edit them with a smart built-in editing suite on the device.
This super phone also supports Dolby Digital Plus surround sound and users can connect it to their home theatre system.There’s also a HDMI connector allowing you to hook the smartphone to your HD TV and share your media with friends and family with a very high level of clarity.
The Nokia N8 also doubles as a portable entertainment centre, allowing you to watch HD quality video with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound and hook into a dedicated Web TV application for access to news and entertainment on the move.Nokia N8 also exceeds your imagination in the space constraints as it has 16GB of built-in storage and is expandable up to 48GB with a micro SD card.
Joining the social messaging Bandwagon fold with the likes of the latest Eseries and Cseries devices, N8 enters the fray with LIVE Twitter and Facebook updates direct to your homescreen. Comment, read and send messages, update your status and share your location and photos with just a touch.Embracing the likes of location based services, the N8 is very location-savvy and comes with FREE global Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation with support in more than 70 countries worldwide for LIFETIME.
Nokia N8 is carved from a single piece of anodised aluminium and looks glorious decked in one of five eye-catching colours, The N8 will be available in SELECT markets during the third quarter of 2010 and in India by Diwali. It is estimated to be priced at around the EUR 360 (Rs. 22,000) excluding taxes or subsidies in Countries other than India. Also, it would be outright foolishness to expect this phone to be priced below the 25k mark in India, that’s something Nokia has learnt more from its brother companies like Apple

When the rest of the world gets it in time, why must India wait until November 2010, to get the Nokia N8 ?
rajiev May 11, 2010 at 6:36 am
sony ericsson satio and vivaz r best camera phone right now
shruti May 10, 2010 at 10:31 pm
nokia wants to grab the smartphone market from the apple iphone. it has now got the right product in N8. if it is priced at Rs.22000, it will be an enormous hit in india and it will rival the iphone. definitely, this would boost the volume of sales and hence maximise profit. nokia has been following this strategy for all its high-end phones in india and has been successful. so, why do u expect something else?
Sayantan May 1, 2010 at 1:28 pm
prices of nokia in india r less dan UK USA markets…..just go to the nokia on9 store of uk/usa/france….n97 mini costs as much as rs 5k more in usa,and 14k more in finland(which is nokia’s home)…..even in uk,n97mini costs 392 euro(=23128) where as its available for 19.7k in the mobile store and 20k in priority dealers….so we should be hopeful….n8 is 370 euro(as announced by nokia)….
Max April 29, 2010 at 3:45 pm
I guess this will be priced between 38-45k. because If its available in US for 22k then surely it ll be almost double in india. some years back i had read in business today tat phones tat r priced at 8k in US r sold for 15+k in India. when i had been to nokia priroty to purchase 5800 tat person told me tat tis phone is sold between 6-7k in Western countries,
You know the original cost to manufacture a DATA cable for whic we pay 1500? its 15rs only
rajiev April 29, 2010 at 2:47 pm
@mukul
vivaz ki price 22679 hai ,aur launched bhi
mukul April 29, 2010 at 2:02 pm
@rajiev
Rs. 22.5 k is just the converted price by multplying the dollar price with 45…when this phone lands finally, they will not price is less than 35 k. They will benchmark it with SE xperia X 10 (37 k) , Motorola Milestone (32 k) and HTC Desire (not yet launched here).
tarun April 29, 2010 at 9:54 am
Its foolishness to compare brands like NOKIA with local brands like Micromax or Intex……. The feel and form factor of branded phones is simply amazing….
If you really wanted to try….go to any shop…….. pick any two qwerty phone in your hand (one of NOKIa and one from some local brand)….. you will feel the difference then and there
Shinefire April 28, 2010 at 7:09 pm
An Indian brand with Dual sim, 3G and GPRS will walk away with number one spot if one is released now. Nokia will be going down in sales.
Arshdeep April 28, 2010 at 5:15 pm
@ABHISHEK
Yes thats what i am talking about, The price will be its major selling factor as i spent 37k for N97 which has only 434 Mhz ARM11 processor.
I will be surely buying this one.
ABHISHEK April 28, 2010 at 4:39 pm
@Arshdeep
N8 HAS NVIDIA TEGRA 680 MHZ PROCESSOR IS CAPABLE OF HD RECORDING AND PLAYBACK.YOU CAN CHECK OUT A SAMPLE VIDEO SHOT FROM NOKIA N8.
Prasath J April 28, 2010 at 3:59 pm
No SIR, Nokia is going to bring many DualSIM (G+G only and NO C+G) phones and that too one model within 2k Rs to Indian market in July2010.. All I can say is, it is worth the wait…
Arshdeep April 28, 2010 at 3:15 pm
@ajay
HUH!! The price is very much low as its a 2010 flagship device.
Dont you remember buying N97 for 37k on first day launch.
Rahul Barik April 28, 2010 at 2:13 pm
D phn vl b vry buggy as d software is new. And phn vl b slow as d processor is 680mhz arm 11. These are outdated processors. D phn was expected 2 cm with a 1ghz processor. And ths phn cant record at 720p @30fps. It records at 720p@25fps. So frame rate is quite slow. So dnt expect smooth recording. And touch screen will b jst superb as it is capacitive and d phn supports multi touch. D screen is also amoled. So dnt cmpare it with othr nokia touch sreens. Those ar resistive screens. D gud thing is it has 5 band 3g. Bt i doubt d battery backup wont b gr8 coz of d 1200 mAh bl-4d battery. And d phn has 256 ram and 512mb rom. D battery is nt lithium-ion. Its lithium- polymer. These ar far superior than d former.

Nokia is working on R&D of a phone which will be recharged from the energy in electronic waves [in Mhz & KHZ],, its also working on a phone with inbuit radar [you may watch its video on youtube]

The Nokia N8 is Nokia’s first device to be integrated 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. Nokia has also made the powerful and simple to use Nokia Qt SDK available, in its initial beta, to enable developers to start realizing the potential of Qt.

Will be nice to have so much choices in next few month windows7 then apple and now nokia. (Although it is true that people will get confused alot after that)
Adi April 28, 2010 at 8:47 am
Looks like a gift wrapped turd. When this “gem” comes out we’ll have Android 3.0 devices, drool worthyh Windows Phones and iPhone 4G.
Symbian needs to reboot.
rajiev April 28, 2010 at 8:30 am
GPRS – Class 32
EDGE – Class 32
3G – HSDPA, 10.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 2.0 Mbps
Class 32, That is way faster than any phone on the market, even the new Iphone 4G and SE Xperia X10, Samsung Galaxy, Nexus One and HTC Desire only has Class 10 to 12 and 7.2 mbps.
rajiev April 28, 2010 at 8:19 am
the price of this fone is usd 500.approxRs.22500
tracksis April 28, 2010 at 3:22 am
yup..its a nice phone with some high end features…will wait until it’s price goes down..but probably buy it
vinay April 28, 2010 at 12:20 am
@VKP
true. dual sim nahi to bakwas phones. even 3g is not there in the new model.
n yes. ind brands r creating much more waves than so called established brands.
Tanuj April 28, 2010 at 12:14 am
This kind of Handset at the given price is ok if it lauched today itself, as the market is changing hour by hour it’s too tuff for Nokia to maintain it’s position. Customer expect from Nokia that will come with innovation at reasnable price, here Nokia is launching 3rd Q of this year this kind of product. All the Best !
Neal Pradeep April 27, 2010 at 11:45 pm
@VKP
hope tht Nokia catches the pulse n brings out more customer centric mobile handsets!!
Neal Pradeep April 27, 2010 at 11:43 pm
lets hope tht with noki n8 it breaks its silence!!!
ajay April 27, 2010 at 11:42 pm
the price of such handset is high. And wait it will go down after launch which is case with all nokia handsets.

Nokia will do any thing except launching a dual sim hanset which is in high demand these days. Nokia ! may be now you want to compete for high end models of some of the brands but always keep this thing in your mind that You are a number one brand not because of high end models but because of your basic models. So start making dual-sim handset or face the tough justice of indian customers which will make you number 2 or 3 by opting Samsung or other brands at number position.
Sorry to say but I have no interest in this high end model. I want good featured dual sim(CDMA+GSM) from you
Wellwisher of NOKIA
Sunny April 27, 2010 at 11:12 pm
Nokia touchscreen is far behind than Iphone and HTC let see how this phone will perform touch wise
