The
N8—a bar-raising, iPhone-sized device the truly exceeds any of the handset
maker’s previous offerings.
For
one, the N8 is the first Nokia phone to run the Symbian 3 platform, which
brings with it gesture support for things like multitouch, flick scrolling and
pinch zooming. Second, there’s also a 12-megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss
lens, as well as the ability to capture and edit—on device—high-definition
video footage.
Thirdly,
Ovi Maps, for free walking and driving navigation, is included, and (benefit
No. 4) so are the types of social networking perks that top the feature lists
of most phones. Along with the N8, Nokia has introduced a new software
environment called Qt—which, in beta form, is now available to developers.
Social
networking is second nature to the Nokia N8. People can update their status,
share location and photos, and view live feeds from Facebook and Twitter in a
single app directly on the home screen. Calendar events from social networks
can also be transferred to the device calendar.
Last
week Nokia cut its profit outlook and said the sales start for phones with
Symbian 3 was delayed to the third quarter - sending its shares sharply lower.
Nokia lacks a top-range model to challenge Apple's iPhone three years after its
launch.
It
will go on sale in mid 2010 and retail for $493, excluding subsidies and taxes.
The Indian price for N8 will be around 23000 INR.
