  • Solid build, ace camera
  • Symbian still isn't competitive
  • The Nokia N8 is a wonderfully built, functional smartphone with a killer camera, and Nokia loyalists will lap up its extra features and sheer durability. We would advise you check out what apps are on offer over at the Ovi Store website before slapping...

  • 12-megapixel camera, music player, HD video capture, HDMI port, relatively cheap
  • Uninspiring design, clunky web browsing, unreliable touch UI, revamped OS feels dated
  • Despite an impressive camera and mutimedia performance, the N8 falls down on its awkward operation and web browsing. It's still cheaper than other smarphones, thoughKey specs12 megapixels, 3.5mm jack, 3G, AMOLED, Bluetooth, FM radio, FM transmitter, GP...

  • The N8 is the proverbial curate's egg. It offers very capable hardware with real benefits, particularly for imaging, and wraps it in a rough UI. Indeed, it retains much of the cruftiness of the Symbian S60 5th Edition interface, which feels clumsy and...

  • Abstract:  Nokia has had it rough lately. But with the feature-packed N8, the Finnish handset maker has finally earned a spot at the cool kids table, just not at the head of said table.The N8 delivers most of what we’ve come to expect from a flagship smartphone. ...

  • Like or loath the Nokia N8's styling, there's no debating the quality on offer here. It's constructed almost entirely from anodised aluminium, and is incredibly tough. A glass screen adds to the quality, and it's a smartphone that can easily withstand daily knocks and drops. It's the 12-Megapixel camera that really stands out on the Nokia N8, however. It's quite simply the best camera we've seen
  • The Nokia N8 may have an all new operating system, but like older touchscreen Nokias it's still clunky compared to offerings from Apple and Android. That said, it's a lot faster than older handsets, and there are lots of new apps on offer from the Ovi Store.
  • If software is important to you, the Nokia N8 may fall behind the Apple iPhone 4, but otherwise it's worth adding to your list. It offers an outstanding specification, is particularly well made and offers excellent value for money. Best offers for the ...

  • Responsive touchscreen. Ovi Maps. 12MP camera
  • Interface still retro in aesthetics. Web browsing lacks panache
  • Nokia’s latest serves up a fresh spin on an ageing formula, but ultimately fails to ace the new smartphone competition ...

  • Great camera; decent battery life; impressive multimedia option
  • Disappointing Symbian^3 OS update; poor touch screen keyboard; frustrating internet experience; cluttered interface
  • The N8 is a valiant effort from Nokia and definitely its best high-end smartphone to date. However, Symbian^3 is a big letdown and, while the N8 will satisfy multimedia and Nokia fans, it could struggle to attract business users against competition fr...

  • The Nokia N8 is a seriously powerful smartphone with some great features such as the 12-megapixel camera and the HDMI-out capabilities. However we feel there’s much room for improvement on the user interface side of things and the web browser could do ...

  • User interface still trails the competition in ease of use, The N8 can be sluggish, QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode only, Battery is not userreplaceable
  • The Nokia N8 excels as a camera phone, and the improvements of Symbian^3 make it one of the company's best smartphones to date. However, it still has its shortcomings, as well as an expensive price tag.…
