Most people who have a mobile phone will more than likely have had a Nokia at some point in their life, which is an indication of just how big a part of the mobile market the Finnish company are. However, you'd be hard pushed to find many people who would say they have ever had a true smartphone from Nokia. There have been feature-packed mobiles but nothing that was ever really going to worry HTC and Apple - until now. With the launch of the Nokia N8, Nokia is looking to show its smartphone credentials.
There's no denying the Nokia N8 is a good looking phone, which is nothing new in today's smartphone market, but is quite an achievement for Nokia. With attractive lines and good proportions it looks like Nokia has been taking design lessons. The shape and size are enhanced by the quality of the aluminum casing, which all works together to give the N8 the quality look and feel that offers a serious challenge to the current market leaders. The fact that there's no way to remove the battery doesn't just help make the phone look good, but also sends the message that Nokia have got the operating system right as well, and you won't be fiddling around with the battery to try and reset your phone.
The 3.5 inch touchscreen display is a decent size without being anything outstanding, and is capable of providing clear and bright images on the N8. What is outstanding however, is the amazing 12 megapixel camera that Nokia has shoehorned into the N8. With claims that it is the best phone camera available anywhere, Nokia is obviously keen to demonstrate that it still has the ability to compete in the smartphone market. As well as the incredible still shots you would expect from such a hi-spec camera, you also get the ability to record video in 720p high definition. Plus, if the 3.5 inch screen on the N8 isn't quite enough for you, the mini HDMI output that's neatly tucked away, will let you hook it up to your HDTV and watch your videos in all their glory.
Nokia was keen to make sure the N8 wasn't just a one trick pony, and the amazing camera is only part of the N8's story. It also gets a new operating system, being the first phone to offer the Symbian 3 platform. A powerful processor makes sure everything zips along nicely, and with 16GB of storage for your music files, and an attractive player to make the most of them, the N8 certainly has a few more tricks up its sleeve.
It's not often that you find yourself getting excited about the launch of a Nokia smartphone, but this time it looks like the Nokia N8 could actually be a serious contender. As long as the headline grabbing improvements that Nokia has included all work together, the N8 could at last give Nokia a seat at the smartphone top table.
