With Symbian v3 OS, the capability of the phone has been enhanced remarkably. This is the capability which makes Nokia N8 powerful.

Most people who have a mobile phone will more than likely have had a Nokia at some point in their life, which is an indication of just how big a part of the mobile market the Finnish company are. However, you’d be hard pushed to find many people who would say they have ever had a true smartphone from Nokia. There have been feature-packed mobiles but nothing that was ever really going to worry HTC and Apple – until now. With the launch of the Nokia N8, Nokia is looking to show its smartphone credentials.

Out of the box, the N8 looks pretty impressive. There’s none of the bulk and clumsy looking design that has been the downfall of so many Nokia phones. Instead, the N8 is quite sleek and slender, maybe not as thin as some of the other smartphones, but certainly not fat. And the neat design works with the colored aluminum case to give you the impression of a high quality, modern smartphone. Interestingly for a Nokia, there is no way of removing the battery, which helps with the appearance, and shows Nokia’s confidence in their new operating system that none of the forced resets, that earlier smartphones were prone to, will be needed.

The N8 has the required touchscreen display of any serious smartphone contender, and at 3.5 inches it’s more than adequate, for users and to keep up with the competition. What will grab your attention however, is the incredible 12 megapixel camera with xenon flash that is very neatly housed in the N8’s slimline body, capable of amazing photographs, as well as 720p HD video recording, with an mini HDMI output for playback on larger screens. Nokia may be trying to make a bit of a point with what it says is the best phone camera in the world, and it has succeeded. Better than any other available smartphone, it makes the N8 stand out from the crowd for the right reasons, and will make sure it gets some serious consideration alongside the top smartphones.

Nokia was keen to make sure the N8 wasn’t just a one trick pony, and the amazing camera is only part of the N8’s story. It also gets a new operating system, being the first phone to offer the Symbian 3 platform. A powerful processor makes sure everything zips along nicely, and with 16GB of storage for your music files, and an attractive player to make the most of them, the N8 certainly has a few more tricks up its sleeve.

It’s not often that you find yourself getting excited about the launch of a Nokia smartphone, but this time it looks like the Nokia N8 could actually be a serious contender. As long as the headline grabbing improvements that Nokia has included all work together, the N8 could at last give Nokia a seat at the smartphone top table.

You may feel that you have seen the interface before but that is only because it has been made by combining the interfaces of iPhone and Google. On the interface there are circles that indicate the current screen. Menu navigation is much better than the previous versions of Nokia. Grid based navigation system is definitely easier to navigate through compared to all other navigation systems.

Menu navigation has also been improved from the previous versions. They are much easier to use in the form of grid system. This has made the transitional effects much smoother if you compare it to the previous versions of the same phone.

The look of Nokia N6 is sleek and impressive, making it to be a choice for belonging to different categories. It has been admired by college goers as much as the professionals working in established firms. It is quite a family cell phone as the striking feature of the cell phone is its 1.3 Mega pixels.

It is a great option for people interested in quick access to music and songs, as it is well equipped with mp3 and mp4 players. With stereo speakers, the sound quality takes the music to another level, without sounding too hurtful to the ears.

With 3 to 5 hrs of talking time and 240 to 360 hrs of standby time, the user will have adequate time to make long calls and retain the option of using the cell phone for a long time. Inclusion of FM radio in the cell phone allows the user to be informed of the current trends in music.

Cell phones evolve at a rate matched only by the personal computer. Because of this, manufacturers must remain at the forefront of the industry or be trampled underfoot. With the new Nokia N8, Nokia has not only chosen to stay near the front, they have become one of the industry leaders. The device easily handles a large number of media, equally adept at entertainment and functional tasks.

Cell phones are no longer used simply to call grandma, especially smartphones. They now perform the tasks of computers, televisions, and daily organizers. These duties require a screen that ensures that the results of the task are seen clearly and capably. The Nokia N8 has this under control with a 3.5-inch OLED touch screen display. A beautiful image is created because it supports over 16 million colors. There is nary another phone available that presents photos, wallpapers, and videos so brilliantly. A 12-megapixel camera takes photos worthy of the display in quality that mirrors that of high-end point-and-click cameras. 16 GB of installed storage provides plenty of room to store photos. This can be enlarged to 48 GB with a micro SD card. There are no worries about being stuck without enough room for just one more picture.

Videos are sharp and clear on the Nokia N8 with the help of 720p, HD recording. An expansive editing suite is included so that the user can do whatever he needs to add a professional touch to his movies. Effective playback controls are a necessary aspect of any recording equipment. On the large touch screen, the N8’s controls handle playback more capably than most.

Huge numbers of applications now go hand in hand with smartphones. This is of course the case with the N8 and it offers a dedicated WebTV app that allows for the viewing of any kind of news and entertainment gossip one could possibly want. These programs are also presented in Dolby Digital Plus surround sound. If you are looking for even more punch, the N8 may be hooked up to a home theater system in order to really blow the doors off.

Entertainment is all well and good, but it should be noted that the Nokia N8 performs practical jobs better than many other smartphones as well. The N8 operates on the Symbian^3 platform which brings to the table such functions as multi-touch that can be used for pinch-to-zoom. Also available is walk and talk navigation to aid in the use of OVI Maps that are free to download. Better yet, they are free for life and are supported in over 70 countries. The chances of getting lost while using the N8 are slim.

The Nokia N8 has made quite an impression on the smartphone field. The phone has set the bar quite high for other manufacturers and models. The N8 is a success story with which more and more consumers are becoming familiar.

While the big powerhouses of smart phones battle it out for a majority market share, one of the world’s largest mobile manufacturers, Nokia, seem to have allowed themselves to fall behind their competitors and the cracks are starting to appear.

Despite having large loyal following and an impressive line up of mobile phones, it has been widely reported that profits for Nokia in Q2 have fallen by 64% while Apple’s profits soar from the launch of iPhone 4. Despite a PR nightmare that has arisen form antenna issues, Apple have recorded a YoY profit increase of 77% which further begs the question, Why is Nokia not competing heavily in this market?

It seems that this question is also being asked internally as Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Nokia’s CEO, has been forced to defend his place within the Finnish company;

“I’m not in a position here and now to really shed any more light on the topic,” he said. “There has been a lot of speculation on my position, on myself, during the last couple of weeks and that is not good for Nokia and must be brought to an end one way or another,”

In light of criticism about his position within the company he has taken the steps to assure shareholders that he is steering the company in the right direction;

“I am confident Nokia will make a come-back in the high end of the smart phone market. The N8 will have a user experience superior to that of any smart phone Nokia has produced.”

The N8 will be powered by the new version of Nokia’s Symbian OS, S^3. This release features a wide range of enhancements including more advanced usability, faster networking and graphics acceleration in 2D and 3D for games and apps.

The future success of Nokia in the growing smart phone market largely depends on the reception of the N8 which will demonstrate whether or not their Symbian OS can offer a superior user experience when compared against the iPhone, Blackberry and Android.

From the outside looking in, Nokia’s problems are perhaps more serious than they would lead people to believe. The market dominance enjoyed by the iPhone and the Android OS demonstrates that Nokia gravely underestimated their potential and the universal acclaim that they would receive when compared to their own offering. If seems quite clear that if Nokia are to reclaim the market dominance they have enjoyed for almost 30yrs they need to make a serious shift away from their traditional mobile offering and focus on the growing smart phone market.

There are lots of different questions that people have when they first look into selling their mobile phone for cash. This paper will hopefully answer a couple of the most common questions for you.

My phone is damaged, can I still sell it for cash?

Most phone recycling companies will accept damaged phones, but you must be prepared that you will get a vastly decreased price. In a number of cases if your phone isn’t working you’ll only get 10% of the quoted price which may mean that it’s not worth your time to sell it and you are better off just recycling it for free .

How is a damaged phone defined?

When you try to get cash for mobiles different firms will have different definitions of what a damaged phone really is. If your phone has a lot of water damage or is physically damaged in 2 then you probably will not be in a position to get any money for it. On the other hand, if you have a phone that’s in good physical condition yet will not boot up to the start screen you will continue to be able to sell it for a decreased cost.

How much do i get when I sell my mobile?

This is dependent upon a lot of different factors like the type phone that you are endeavoring to sell as well as what condition it was in. When you sell your mobile remember that there is a range of costs so it is often a good idea to search around for the best deals.

Can I sell new phones?

Most companies won’t give you a bigger price for a new phone making it not worth your while to sell it. However , you’ll find certain corporations which will give you a better price if you are selling a new phone that’s still in perfect condition. If this is the case though then you probably should not sell it to phone recycling company but instead somewhere like eBay.

How long does it take?

Again, this depends on the company that you select although the amount of time it sometimes takes for a phone to be inspected by a company and then either returned to you or accepted is about a week. You should then have the cash with you shortly after that. Most firms will provide a guideline of how long they customarily take to get the money to you on their internet site.

You can find plenty of new innovations with the new Nokia N8 touchscreen phone. For starters, the Symbian^3 OS is introduced to the Nokia line of phones with this release, as well as a 12 megapixel camera, which is the best quality camera Nokia have ever put on one of their phones. With Nokia making these improvements, and many more besides, it is no surprise that they come up with a cool new design too, making the N8 phone look very much unlike any phone you have seen before.

When looking at the Nokia N8, you will first notice the OLED touchscreen display, featuring a 360×640 resolution that is 3.5″ in size. While you might not find the 800 pixel wide screens that some competitors use, it is a fantastic budget option for those who want an HTC Desire but cannot afford such an expensive phone for their needs. This will do all those other phones can do, but for a much smaller price.

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 even play various types of media on this phone. With the help of the Nokia N8, you can watch MPEG4 video, as well as Flash and Real video, and listen to WMA, AAC and MP3 music files, letting you have music on the go. The FM transmitter on the phone allows you to play your audio files through an FM radio completely wirelessly.

The N8 is one of a handful of phones that support the super fast 802.11n wifi protocol, along with the normal 802.11 b and g protocol. As a 3.5G device, every major UMTS is compatible with the phone. For HSDPA, the maximum achievable upload speed is 2.0 Mbps, with a maximum download speed of 10.2 Mbps. Nokia issues the N8 standard with an impressive 16 GB of memory. While most consumers will find the memory package plenty for their use, anyone wanting to use their N8 for extensive video capture will want to take advantage of the microSD slot that can add up to 32GB of memory to the device.

Naturally, there is a lot more to the N8 than the hardware; the Symbian^3 OS is introduced with this particular model, and it features multi touch support, pinch to zoom, 3D graphics acceleration, home screens, and kinetic scrolling to make this phone more intuitive than anything you have experienced before.

It also features 16 standby days and it can also do up to 7 hours of media playback or 50 hours of digital music playback. You can get the Nokia N8 in a variety of colors including: green, blue, orange, silver white and dark gray. More than likely, Nokia will come out with limited editions colors at some point in the future.

The operating system powering the N8 is the new Symbian^3. Most smartphones already use the Symbian OS, but the Symbian^3 is the newest in the line. The N8 is the first phone to run it. A couple of other great features are the touchscreen, which supports flick scrolling and pinch-to-zoom, and the customizable homescreens, which allow convenient access to your favorite apps and widgets.

You can expect to have great quality graphics that will be delivered at amazing speeds thanks to the advances Nokia has made in their software. The 2D and 3D graphics will astound you with their clarity and performance.
