Nokia N8 Official, With 12MP
Camera and 720p Video Recording
From
Gizmodo.com
Well now, this is awkward. Only yesterday
Mobile-Review was calling the N8 an
unpolished turd, and now Nokia's gone and
announced it to the world. As leaks
foretold, it's got a 12MP camera with Xenon
flash, and runs Symbian^3.

It's Nokia's first Symbian^3 phone, and
while initial videos and photos made it look
pretty special indeed, Mobile-Review's early
look at it warranted a big, fat "do not
like." As I said yesterday, that could be
because it was an early prototype—time will
tell, in any case.
Onto the specs, and that camera has Carl
Zeiss optics and the Xenon flash most Nokias
are blessed with. It can record video in
720p and thanks to the HDMI output, can play
footage on HDTVs.
The screen is a 3.5-inch capacitive
touchscreen, and there's 16GB of inbuilt
storage, expandable up to 48GB if you've got
the requisite microSD memory card. As with
all the next-gen Nokia handsets, free Ovi
Maps is included.
The US pricing and availability hasn't been
confirmed by Nokia yet, but for now we've
been told the pre-taxes European cost will
be €370, but it'll of course be available
for free on contract. Out in the third
quarter, so we're looking at another few
months at the very least.
