Nokia has attempted to make a splash in the smartphone market with the Nokia N8. The Nokia N8 is priced up there with its Android and iPhone rivals, and therefore many reviewers spend a lot of energy focussing on the obvious comparison. Unfortunately, the Nokia N8 rarely comes out on top – but there are features of the Nokia N8’s hardware that have made heads turn.
The solid design of the Nokia N8 already sets the phone apart with its tapered ends, scratch-resistant glass and bright coloured aluminium casing. The phone has a range of external buttons and ports, the most notable being a mini HDMI port so that you can plug the device directly into a monitor or TV.
