The Nokia N8, the first in Nokia's new family of faster, more intuitive Symbian smartphones, is set to bring consumers in the region a true social computing experience that combines great usability with a personalizable and fast user interface.
"We expect big things from the Nokia N8. Powered by the all new Symbian platform, which brings significant enhancements in speed and ease of use, it is tightly integrated with enhanced Ovi services and apps, and reinforces Nokia's vision of a mobile industry that is increasingly being defined by socially connected, location-based devices and experiences,"
said Henri Mattila, Solution Marketing Manager.
Connect. Create. Entertain
The Nokia N8 introduces a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and a large sensor that rivals those found in compact digital cameras. Additionally, the Nokia N8 offers the ability to make HD-quality 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. The Nokia N8 enables access to Web TV services that deliver programs, news and entertainment from channels like CNN, E! Entertainment, Paramount and National Geographic. Additional local Web TV content is also available from the Ovi Store.
Social networking is second nature to the Nokia N8. People can update their status, share location and photos, and view live feeds from Facebook and Twitter in a single app directly on the home screen. Calendar events from social networks can also be transferred to the device calendar.
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.
Symbian^3 in action
Powering the Nokia N8 is Symbian ^ 3, the latest edition of the world's most used smartphone software, which introduces several major advances, including support for gestures such as multi touch, flick scrolling and pinch-zoom. The Nokia N8 also offers multiple, personalizeable homescreens which can be loaded with apps and widgets. The new 2D and 3D graphics architecture in the platform takes full advantage of the Nokia N8's hardware acceletration to deliver a faster and more responsive user interface. Symbian ^ 3 also raises the bar in performance by delivering greater memory management allowing more applications to run parallel for a faster multi-tasking experience.
Craftmanship and materials
Special attention has been paid to the craftsmanship and materials of Nokia N8, bringining a new iconic footprint for the Nokia Nseries - integrity of design, softer edges as well as the vibrant new colors.
"The starting point for the design of the Nokia N8 was high quality of materials and the feel of the surfaces in your hand," says Mikko Aarras, the lead designer for the Nokia N8. "We wanted it to show the craftmanship that has gone into designing the device. For example, we wanted to have rounded edges and emphasize the details by diamond cutting. These are simple ways to bring out the qualities of the material."
