The much hyped release of the new Nokia N8 smartphone is almost here. The main reason for the hype is the incorporation of the brand’s new Symbian ^3 platform into the handset coupled with a huge variety of features and capabilities that will easily rival the likes of the iPhone and Blackberry. At the top of the list of features comes HDMI support for videos and a 12 mega pixel camera with a Carl Zeiss optimized lens. Although the HDMI connectivity will be non-standard, it does support Dolby Surround sound so movie playback on a large screen in your sitting room will be better than ever. With the ability to record high definition video comes a software package built into the phone enabling you to edit your home movies on the fly. The 3.5″ liquid crystal touch screen display of the Nokia N8 will hold a resolution of 640 x 360 and contain up to 16.7 million colors. There are also a number of sensors incorporated into the design which should makes things much more interesting, such as an accelerometer, a digital compass, an ambient light detector and a proximity sensor. Nokia’s new addition to their product line up is a clear attempt at competing directly with the Apple iPhone. There is, or will be, a mass of downloadable content available through the Ovi store including access to Web TV with media from companies like National Geographic, CNN, E! Entertainment and Paramount. Social Networking is another feature that the Nokia N8 flourishes in. Updating your Twitter or Facebook status is as easy as downloading an application to do everything for you. To summarize, the Nokia N8 promises to deliver the customer a very convincing rival of either the popular iPhone or Blackberry, containing features that bring it right to the forefront of modern mobile phone technology. Once it is released, there will be nothing to stop it helping Nokia maintain their status as the biggest mobile phone manufacturer on the planet.
