It's official - Nokia unveiled their new flagship, the Nokia N8. With 12MP camera and 720p video recording, the latest handset from the Finnish company is on track to becoming the new imaging champ in the mobile phone world.

The camera on the Nokia N8 is equipped with Carl Zeiss optics and a xenon flash. Nokia says that the image sensor "rivals those found in compact digital cameras". The camera can also capture 720p HD video at 25 frames per second and offers built-in video editing tools.

The Nokia N8 also features two different TV-out interfaces - the standard 3.5mm audio jack and a mini-HDMI port (a first for the GSM world). The Nokia N8 also features Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound over the HDMI link.

The Nokia N8 offers up to 3 hours and 20 minutes of video capture or 7 hours of video playback (6 over HDMI) thanks to the 1200mAh battery. The talk time is impressive too - 12 hours, and the battery will last for 50 hours of music playback.

There's plenty of memory to keep the videos on too - the Nokia N8 has 16GB of built-in memory and supports microSD cards up to 32GB. As for viewing things on the phones itself, the N8 comes with a 3.5" capacitive touchscreen with 16:9 aspect ratio with nHD resolution (360 x 640).

The Nokia N8 is connectivity champ - it is a true globetrotter with quad-band GSM/EDGE and five-band 3G. Yep, five bands - 850/900/1700/1900/2100. It has Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS with A-GPS (plus other positioning methods), microUSB with USB On-the-go and a built-in FM transmitter. Having mentioned GPS, the N8 will of course come with Ovi Maps for free voice-guided navigation.

The N8 is the first device that runs Symbian^3 and it also has support for the Qt cross-platform apps and UI framework that should allow development of apps that run on Symbian and MeeGo. It has multiple homescreens and is proficient in social networking. It also offers improved application and graphics performance.

I guess Nokia haven't heard of 800MHz and 1GHz processors yet :P They still have lots of old stocks to clear i guess(like the 369MHz, 434MHz processor etc...)
 
The super camera on the phone is one thing but putting up with Symbian^3 is another. Nokia is banking heavily upon their new Symbian remixes to save them, or at least give them a chance against other popular mobile phone OS.
 
I doubt the processor speed matters that much, after all the iphone/omnia hd and milestone also have 600 mhz processors. The bigger question I have is whether it is an A8 processor or the older ARM design?
 
Why do you need so much processor power for a symbian device.It's not like it's got any apps to utilize the extra processor power!
 
Its almost idiotic to see ppl talkin abt processor speeds, as if thats the only thing that matters.. Wat ever happened to proper and optimised coding..?

Really, if the Os can function very well at even 100mhz, why should ppl crib? If the device doesnt work well then its another thing or if its an Os like android where there are generally no device specific optimization in the code..but nokia optimizes the Os for each device and the are different firmwares..
 
Its not the only thing but Proccy speed and architecture too matters IMHO. Hopefully they tweak the OS well so that the Gallery is fast atleast in this phone :P
