The N series is Nokia's flagship series and it has recently got a new addition. This new phone, which has been named the Nokia N8, is expected to once again empower Nokia to the top of the smart phone sales. Nokia has always been known for build quality and the new Nokia N8 certainly does not disappoint. It is made from a single block of aluminium, which apart from looking great, has also enabled Nokia to add colours to the phone. Hence, we get a choice of five different colours and this would surely make your decision to choose the Nokia N8 even more complicated. But it is a complexity that we all love to enjoy. The Nokia N8 contract offers a compelling blend of features, performance and design.

The Nokia N8 has very minimal hardware buttons and most of the phone's functions are controlled by the capacitive 3.5 inch touch screen. Unlike previous touch screen phones from Nokia that had call ending and call accepting buttons to go along with the plenty of other keys, the Nokia N8 has one prominent menu key and it is just about it. ...
... The phone does not even come with a stylus, but it is quite clear why Nokia has omitted the stylus from this phone. Since the screen is capacitive, you don't require a stylus to operate. You can use multi-touch to zoom in and then press the required option.

Previous Nokia phones were blighted with software issues and memory related issues. Hence, more often than not, you will find your hanging. However, with the new Nokia N8, you do not get the option to remove the battery. This is because the company is so confident in their efforts that they have totally removed this option. Instead, you can just continue to press the power key in order to switch off your phone if you face any issues with the operating system. You are unlikely to have such troubles with the new Symbian 3 operating system. The Nokia N8 becomes the first phone to be running on the latest version of the operating system from Symbian. It is hoped that this will be the operating system that will finally help the company recapture the Android market.

The N8's ultimate feature though is the 12 megapixel camera, which is not only class leading in terms of megapixel count, but also in the quality that it delivers. No other phone can match this phone when it comes to the camera and in fact, most compact digital cameras will struggle too. It is not an overreaction to the megapixel count and you certainly have to experience the camera in order to understand the full potential of it. Night photography used to be a problem in mobile phone cameras, but the new Nokia N8 does not suffer from any such problems on its own because it has a Xenon flash. It is the same flash configuration that you see with other digital cameras. Despite all these features, the Nokia N8 does not cost much at all. In fact, you can find a lot of deals for this phone easily. Also it is recommended to have a closer look at mobile phone offers before making a decision.
