W8 4 N8 !!

Most of us prefer to use Nokia products rather than other possible products for many reasons maybe one of which is that they have spread widely so you can easily find accessories for your phone and get it repaired when it needs to,but that causes Nokia fans to be a little sad or unsatisfied when they find other manufacturers presenting new products, services and capabilities with the newest technology; just like us here in Egypt when the loyal Vodafonians or Mobinilers find that Etisalat gives its customers the best offers and services while they can’t benefit from them because they are loyal.

But finally Nokia managed to draw the smile on the face of its customers by releasing the new era of phones; Nokia N8.

The new Nokia N8 touch screen phone combines two major firsts for Nokia;  it’s the world’s first device with Symbian 3 operating system and it’s the first mobile of Nokia supported by a 12 MP camera.

The first thing you would notice about the N8 is the smooth shape with curves at the corners unlike the previous design of the 5800 device that seemed a little dull for the users. You would love the wide 3.5” 360 x 640 pixel capacitive OLED touchscreen display that makes your life more interesting. Maybe the N8 doesn’t have many keys but it’s all inside, finger touch is supported as well as hand writing recognition of English and even Chinese. I know it doesn’t count much for us but, think about how awesome that is.

If you are an addicted facebooker then you would find the N8 amazing as it provides the ability to upload your photos straight to facebook and add facebook events to your calendar. Also, surf the net as you do from your PC, the real web pages.Forget about the WAP, it’s all on your mobile now. Feel like watching TV?? Not a problem at all as the N8 provides web TV service that allows you to get the latest news and catch up with the entertainment with several TV channels such as CNN and National Geographic.

One of the best advantages of the N8; it is not an isolated island as you have a lot of connectivity methods with the world, Bluetooth 3.0,High-Speed USB 2.0 (micro USB connector), FM radio, FM transmitter (allows you to transmit whatever you want on a wave at a circle of 3m diameter) and finally the HDMI interface for HD TVs, in addition to the 3.5mm AV connector that can be used with "normal" TV sets and audio accessories.

I AM LOST!! Now you can forget about this word, with the great features of the N8: GPS, Ovi maps, Wi-Fi positioning and ompass and accelerometer for correct orientation of display.

I know most of you are waiting for the media part. Here comes my favorite, where you will be fascinated by the 12 MP camera from carl zeiss optics and Xenon flash that can capture HD 720p video.If this is not enough for you then Nokia won’t let you down as the N8 comes with a large sensor that competes those in digital cameras, and this is a real good advantage for the N8 as the large megapixels are sometimes not enough for a good quality image.

With a battery supporting up to 6 hours talk time on 3G, 16 days standby, 7 hours of video playback and 50 hours of music, you will need to recharge it every now and then.

BUT, to store all these videos or images or even full movies, Nokia gave you a virtual world on your N8 of 16 GB internal memory and microSD external memory up to 32 GBs .Who needs PC’s anymore ?????

Despite the huge capabilities provided by the N8, it doesn’t come alone.You will find many things in the box: Nokia N8 (of course), the battery, connectivity cable, charger, stereo headset, compact travel charger, adapter cable for HDMI, adapter cable for USB, nokia stylus and finally the quick guide.

The N8 comes in a variety of colours: Silver white, Dark grey, Orange, Blue and Green for the taste of everybody. Forget about the one-colour mobiles, now you can choose you mobile convenient with your eye colour if you want. All these magnificent features and specifications comes to you with a relatively low price as I see it…because when I see tomorrow in one mobile then I would die to have it. So, 550$ isn’t too much for the N8.

So, at the end of the N8 discovering journey, you have a mobile from Nokia with 3.5” touchscreen to watch on it the HD 720p videos you have recorded with your 12 MP camera or the photos you have shot with the Xenon flash . Moreover they are ready to be uploaded straight to Facebook which you will log into using the Wi-Fi while you are setting in your car and using Ovi maps and the GPS to get to your home. Summing up, I would like to use the Nokia expression about the N8 "what will you do with it??"
