Nokia has truly stepped up to the mark with their new Nokia N8 touchscreen phone, coming with, amongst other things, an exciting and innovative design. Stepping away from the customary black box typically seen with touchscreen phones, Nokia designed the N8 with a bit of ergonomic flair to stand out next to its counterparts - in addition to voiding the black color option (though a dark gray version is available). More impressively, Nokia has finally delivered a phone with a 12 megapixel camera and coupled it with the all new Symbian^3 operating system.

Nokia’s target market for the N8 will not be let down by the impressive 3.5″ 360 x 640 pixel OLED touchscreen display. While higher end touchscreen phones sport an 800 pixel screen, they also sport a higher price tag, like the HTC Desire. For consumers searching for a mid-line touchscreen phone, they will certainly get bang for their buck.

With the 12 megapixel camera, you can find Carl Zeiss optics, a Xenon flash, and the ability to get 720p HD video recorded onto the phone. What’s more, the sensor on the N8 can beat many high end digital cameras, which is another fantastic feature - besides, the sensor and the optics far outweigh the megapixels when it comes to quality pictures.

You can use the N8 to play music through the on board FM transmitter, so you can pick up music from it on your radio. The multimedia support is great the N8 is able to playback Mpeg4, H.264, Flash and Real video as well as more. You can also play music through the N8 in formats of MP3, WMA, AAC and AMR.

For on board memory the N8 has a great 16GB, which is more than adequate for the average user, however if you want to increase the size you can add a micoSD card of up to 32GB. This is ideal if you want to take advantage of the HD recording and make plenty of home movies, or perhaps you want to watch films when you are out on the go. The N8 is one of the few phones that supports 802.11n protocol. It also has WiFi and is 3.5G, supporting all major UMTS bands. You can get a maximum of 10.2 Mbps download speed and an upload speed of 2.0 Mbps on HSDPA.

When it comes to phones hardware is only 50% of the issue, the software also matters a large amount, and with the N8 you will have the new Symbian^3 OS. This is the first phone to have this OS which boasts multi touch touchscreen support, kinetic scrolling, 3D and 2D graphics acceleration, pinch-to-zoom, plenty of customization and multiple homescreens.
