Nokia has obviously put a lot of eggs in the N8 basket and is keen to convince us that it's a phone worth having. Nokia has just released the first of a trilogy of videos that demonstrate the new Symbian^3 user interface and the N8 speed and responsiveness.

The first video focuses on customizing the new homescreen, messaging, internet browsing and maps. As it turns out the Symbian^3 brings quite a lot of new stuff, despite what the early preview we saw claimed.

More eye-candy is added, the number of available widgets has been increased and the task manager has been completely redesigned. Threaded messaging is also there and the virtual QWERTY keyboard has been refreshed. There are also several other minor changes that we noticed but those should be the most crucial in terms of user experience.

We cannot say that the Nokia N8 is the fastest handset we have seen but it doesn't seem to be on the slow side either. And with a few months left before it hits the shelves things might improve even further. Here goes the video in question so you can see for yourselves.

I'd say it is really good indeed. Other than that ugly HW button on the bottom left, the design is actually useful to hold the phone tight.

True. It does look good. For me, it looked like a mixture of Symbian and Maemo. Ovi mail interface and qwerty looks super ugly though. Music player looks good and also the album art scroll is pretty fluid. And as usual, navigation at its best :)
 
i think finally we have a phone from Nokia to look out for after a long time...

N8 looks very impressive, Symbian 3 also looks promising, but again the Price factor will play huge role in this phones success.

lets wait and see
 
This is one phone that is definitely high on the features list, and if the rumours about the close to 23K pricing are true, it should be a winner - atleast in India. However Symbian being Symbian, it doesn't really bring a 'freshness' along, and so at best would be slotted into a feature rich device instead of a showoff.
 
Nokia N8's USB On-The-Go support will be a rocking feature of this Mobile... That means Unlimited storage till u have many usb drives to spare.....
