Nokia N8 – It’s Out And It’s Good!
For a name that’s as synonymous with mobile phones as Nokia, it’s sometimes hard to understand why they have never really been able to crack the smartphone market, at least not in the same way Apple and HTC have, and some of the other manufacturers are starting to. All this could be about to change however, as the Finnish mobile giant tries to make up for lost time and opportunities, with the launch of the N8. But does Nokia even know what it takes to make a competitive smartphone anymore, and if so, is the Nokia N8 it?
When you first see the N8 it’s difficult not to like it, for the fact that it looks good, but more because Nokia have actually made a very attractive mobile at last. There is a feeling of quality about it which is partly due to the scratch-resistant anodized aluminum shell that comes in a range of colors. The N8 is slimmer and less bulky than many of Nokia’s other smartphone attempts and wouldn’t look out of place next to an iPhone or the Nexus One. The lines are helped by the fact there’s no detachable battery cover, pointing to a more stable operating system that doesn’t need to have the battery removed to reset it, which is more good news.
