The fabulous five! 5 must have apps for your Nokia N8

So now you’ve got hold of your brand new shiny Nokia N8, you’re probably wondering which of the many great apps you should download. The Ovi Store has an ever-increasing range of options to choose from, but what about the essentials? It’s virtually impossible to come up with a definitive list, but after much debate, here are 5 apps we think every proud Nokia N8 user should get their hands on.

Spotify

Spotify has had us in musical raptures for some time now. This ‘universal jukebox’ gives you access to a huge library of music, which will have you foot tapping every second of the day. Spotify streams over both Wi-Fi and 3G, giving you access to practically any song ever made, no matter where you are. Even better is its ability to store your playlists so you can listen to them while completely offline. Now that really is music to our ears.

Gravity

Okay, we admit it. We’re addicted to Twitter. If you love the idea of keeping up to date with all your buddies, too, you need Gravity. Recently voted by Ovi Users as their favourite app, Gravity is a fully-featured Twitter client with a fantastic user interface. It supports multiple Twitter accounts, integrates with Foursquare and Facebook and has a Google Reader included. This is one app that really does put the social into your life.

Nokia Panorama

Boasting isn’t our style, but what the heck, we’re going to say it anyway. The Nokia N8 is the world’s best cameraphone and Nokia Panorama transforms it into the world’s best panoramic cameraphone. This cool app tells you how to align your pics when you’re scanning the horizon and automatically takes the photos for you once they’re perfectly aligned with the previous ones. Capturing glorious landscapes has never been easier.

Opera Mobile

To get the very best out of mobile Web 2.0, you really should give Opera Mobile a go. With more than 70 million users worldwide, and 500 million page views per day, it’s easy to see why Opera Mobile is so popular. Simple-to-use, it comes with a range of cool time-saving features such as tabbed browsing, speed dial, and a password manager. And thanks to its famed server-side compression technology, you’ll be surfing at blistering speed.

Angry Birds

There are more and more fantastic games for the Nokia N8 coming out all the time. One that we love and think you will too is Angry Birds. What makes this game so outrageously addictive? Cute graphics, super easy controls, and the ‘one-more-go’ feeling. With hours of gameplay, challenging physics-based castle demolition, and lots of replay value, it’s no wonder that millions of people worldwide have flocked to this game. Who said revenge couldn’t be fun.

There you have it. Five fabulous apps that help you enjoy music, networking, surfing, photography and gaming. Can you think of any others that should be challenging for a place? If so, let us know what else makes you appy happy.

Nokia N8 Torture Test!

When you’re made of anodized aluminium as the Nokia N8 is, you would fancy yourself against the outdoor elements. However the question is, can it prepare you for the place all Nokia devices fear – The Testing Lab (insert evil cackle). We found out as we carry on with tradition, pitting our devices against the most rigorous of tests. Check out how we got on…

In addition to the drop test there are more than 200 (!!!) other endurance tests that we put new models through to make sure they live up to their billing. Here are just a few of our favourites…

• Extreme weather: We use special machines to expose them to extreme temperatures from around -40°C to +85°C, helping them to withstand conditions from the cold of the Arctic Circle to the heat of the Sahara desert.
• Humidity: We also test for use in tropical and humid parts of the world by placing devices in a special chamber for several weeks where they will experience humidity levels as high as 95%.
• Clothing: When we carry devices in our back pockets they may bend when we sit down or rub on trouser fibres. We simulate these effects with special machines that bend and twist the device, and one that uses a real pair of jeans to test friction and wear and tear.
• Pockets: Devices are often in bags or pockets with other items like keys or coins, so we place devices in a special “shaker” machine with hard particles to see how resistant they are.
• Buttons: People press the main keys on their device an average of 200-300 times every day. To ensure the keypads can respond to this level of use, we press the keys up to one million times in the lab.

Nokia N8 vs iPhone 4 -video comparison

got his hands on a 720p HD video sample comparing the Nokia N8 with the iPhone 4:

Nokia N8 usage: TV out in two ways

One function of the Nokia N8 that is only found in a few other smartphones, like the HTC EVO 4G I have, is the ability to connect to an HDMI cable for TV out functionality. Did you also know that the traditional method of using the 3.5mm headset jack and the Nokia three color A/V cable works just fine as well?

HDMI

While I had to buy a special micro HDMI cable to connect my EVO 4G, Nokia makes this drop dead easy by including a 6 inch adapter cable that connects to your N8 HDMI port with a standard HDMI female port on the other end. In addition to providing the adapter you need, the Nokia N8 supports sending everything on the display out through the HDMI port while Android is specific to certain applications. I also found that playing video, such as the National Geographic channel, gives you media controls right on the display so you can control the video that is playing out on your TV.

3.5mm A/V cable

I have a few Nokia 3.5mm to A/V cables lying around so I grabbed one and plugged it into the N8 headset jack and my TV. It worked just fine so if you do not have an HDMI port on your TV you can still connect your Nokia N8 to your TV for TV out functionality.

Some may wonder why you would practically ever use this functionality, but I know with the awesome camera and video capture capabilities that I will be using it to show photos and videos to family and friends this holiday season with everything controlled right from my N8. The photos I took today looked fantastic out on my HD TV with the HDMI port and this ability will actually encourage me to take more photos to share with the Nokia N8.

You can also use your N8 as the computer brains behind a setup where you have TV out and a Bluetooth or USB keyboard connected for a mobile office on the go.

In most of the features like HSUPA speeds, fps in video recording, screen resolution etc the iPhone 4 beats the Nokia N8 easily. We can also be certain that the Apple A4 CPU/GPU with the new gyro axis will deliver better gaming experience and the App Store love still remains with Apple. However the openness (bluetooth file trf, mass storage, memory card addon), FM Radio and multiple carrier choices still gives the N8 an edge.

10 Million Reasons the Nokia N8 is Destined for AT&T

Nokia today announced it is partnering with AT&T in, a developer contest targeted at the North America region, and plans to award $10 million to the winners that create the top mobile applications. Developers have until the end of January to submit their apps for Nokia’s new Symbian^3 platform which supports development from Nokia’s Qt framework, Web Run-Time plug-in or Java. The prize pool will be split among 51 winners in 3 categories and the bulk of the two grand prizes are in the form of Nokia marketing dollars to help promote the top apps in the Nokia’s Ovi store. The contest details may have tipped Nokia’s hand: it looks like the new Nokia N8 could be offered by AT&T.

Nokia C7 Vs Nokia N8

We’ve been waiting for the Nokia N8 for quite a while now, but in the meantime the suave new Nokia C7 has made an appearance. The specs aren’t a world apart, so which would you opt for? Join us after the cut to find out more… The Nokia C7 looks set to be released in the near future – following hot on the heels of the Nokia N8. Which handset is the better choice? Read on to find out. Build quality
Choosing between the two handsets when it comes to quality is tricky, as both are incredibly tough. We think that the Nokia N8 just about shades it, however, with a one-piece anodised aluminium casing. That’s not to say the Nokia C7 is lacking, as it’s also constructed from stainless steel and glass. Check out our Nokia C7 hands-on preview Cameras
The Nokia N8 still retains the best camera we’ve ever seen on a smartphone, with a 12-Megapixel sensor. The Nokia C7 counters with an 8-Megapixel camera – it may not be as impressive but it’s still capable of amazing photographs. Both can record video content in high-definition. Storage
The Nokia C7 boasts 8GB of integrated storage space. This can upgraded via microSD cards, with cards of up to 32GB supported. The Nokia N8 offers more memory, at 16GB, and also offers microSD cards of up to 32GB. Screen
The Nokia N8 offers a large 3.5-inch touchscreen that’s perfect for web use and movies. It’s a capacitive panel, and is responsive, bright and colourful. There’s nothing to separate the two phones here, as the Nokia C7 also boasts an identical screen. Operating system
Both the Nokia N8 and Nokia C7 feature the latest cutting edge Symbian ^3 operating system. With multiple home screens on both phones, usability promises to be excellent.

World’s Smallest Stop Motion Video Created With Nokia N8

Nokia at Sixes and Sevens Over N8

Nokia is at sixes and sevens over its new flagship smartphone, the N8.Having categorically told the media earlier this week “we have decided to hold the shipments for a few weeks to do some final amends”–read our overage here–the Finnish mobile phone giant is desperately rowing back after a deluge of negative press.“There have been [some stories] about the N8 availability which we feel need clarification,” says a terse post on the company’s official blog.It adds that “we still expect to start the shipments by the end of the third quarter” and continues:“As it can take time from the beginning of shipment to arriving at their doorstep, in full transparency, we have advised our pre-order customers that they should expect their new Nokia N8 in October.”Despite the post, no one seems any the wiser.A stream of replies from Nokia’s most ardent fans makes for grim reading, painting a picture of confusion and anger.“C’mon Nokia, be honest with customers!!” writes ‘Salem874’. “Where do we stand? Confusion and things like this only worsens your (already damaged) reputation. I’m sure customers will be satisfied with being told exactly what’s going on and what to expect from their pre-orders (this coming from a long-time Nokia custome

Nokia's N8 Sports Fantastic Hardware, Tired OS

After a year of lackluster handset launches, Nokia may have a winner on its hands with the N8 smartphone. We spent some time with the new device at Nokia World 2010 in London, and while it wasn’t enough time to draw up a full review, we were able to get some hands-on first impressions.

First off, the hardware is fantastic. Wrapped in a beautiful anodized aluminum body with a 3.5-inch OLED display, the N8 will ship in green, blue, orange, silver, and graphite colors. While the display size is a bit smaller than the 4+ inch options on the market, it strikes a nice balance between “too small” and “way too big.” At 4.76 ounces, the phone is lightweight, feels good in the hand, and can easily be slipped into a tight pocket or purse.

The unit ships with Symbian^3, the newest version of the Symbian platform. Among the improvements, the user is greeted with three homescreens and the ability to add up to 24 shortcuts to each. Simply press and hold the screen for a few seconds to add or remove widgets and applications. It’s a nice revision to Symbian versions of the past and does a decent job of bringing the platform into the 21st century. Despite the updates, the OS still seems a bit tired at this point.

The phone is powered by a 680 MHz ARM 11 processor, which falls below the typical 1 GHz benchmark in today’s high-end smartphones. In our hands-on time with it, we noticed a bit of lag when transitioning between homescreens and opening apps. It wasn’t terribly alarming, but could be a point of contention for those used to the speedy performance of Android and iOS.


Thanks to the capacitive touchscreen, the virtual keyboard is responsive. In portrait mode, the N8 displays a T9-style keypad, while in landscape mode, the user is given a full QWERTY layout to work with. We tested it by typing out several messages, and within minutes, we were clicking away with ease.

COMPETITION TIME! Win a Nokia N8!

The Nokia N8 is one of the hottest phones to hit the market this quarter and we’ve got one to give away. Fancy winning the first Symbian^3 handset? Here’s what you need to do.
There’s a 12 megapixel camera on board the Nokia N8, so we want to make sure that you can handle it. All you need to do is grab a camera and take a picture representing why you deserve to win this handset. It can be as crazy or creative as you like, just upload it into the comments section on our Nokia N8 review page

Nokia Smartphones HEad Vanjoki To Step Down...!

Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg's Erik Schatzker reports on major newsmakers in today's Movers & Shakers.
Nokia Oyj, the world’s biggest maker of mobile phones, said the head of its smartphone division resigned, becoming the first casualty of the change at the top of the company.
Anssi Vanjoki will stay in his job for now and has a six- month notice period, the Espoo, Finland-based company said in a statement today. Nokia last week appointed Microsoft Corp.’s business division president, Stephen Elop, to take over from Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo as chief executive officer.
Vanjoki, a 20-year Nokia veteran, is the last executive remaining from Chairman Jorma Ollila’s 1990s “Dream Team,” which also included Kallasvuo, whose final day on the job is Sept. 20. Elop will take over the next day.
Barclays Capital upgraded Nokia to “overweight” from “equal weight,” and said in a note dated today that it expects Elop to help the company’s stuttering software operations and possibly change its operating systems.
“This marks the end of an era at Nokia and could signal further management changes to follow,” CCS Insight analyst Ben Wood said by text message.
Nokia gained as much as 2.6 percent to 7.99 euros and was trading up 2.4 percent at 7.98 euros at 12:13 p.m. in Helsinki.

NFS Shift On The Nokia N8: Serious Gaming Potential

The Nokia N8 has a dedicated graphics processor that takes the load off its other 680 MHz processor when you are playing games, showing off pictures and with other graphics related tasks. Till today, I hadn’t really seen it in action but at ‘An Evening With Ovi‘ I did some gaming on the N8, with Asphalt and NFS Shift and I have to say it was pretty nice.

Game on: two new releases from Nokia

Today Nokia has launched two new games developed by Rovio, the Finnish company behind the incredibly successful pig-toppling puzzler, Angry Birds. The games – Bounce Boing Battle and Ovi Maps Challenge – are for most of S60 v5 and Symbian^3 devices. The former is free; the latter is also free, but with optional paid-for add-ons. Read on to see what the games are all about.

Bounce Boing Battle is in the noble lineage of Pong, but with some radically modern twists. For starters, it’s a game for two people, doing battle across a Bluetooth connection. Instead of a static bat, the players draw lines to knock back the ball to their opponent. The position and angle of the line affects the trajectory and speed of the ball, allowing for some clever tactical play. Four different playing fields are included, each of which requires a different approach.

Nokia N8 and E7 hope to turn tide for Finnish company

As the rot continues to eat away at Nokia's dominance of the mobile phone market, the Finnish brand looks to be launching a few new smartphone models at Nokia World, its annual media and industry event, which is being held on 14-15 September 2010. The new handsets include the Nokia N8, which Pocket-lint had its hands on, and the Nokia E7 slideout QWERTY variant.

Although specs for the N8 look decent, how it compares in reality to other top-end smartphones remains to be seen - especially when you consider the positive reception of handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S. These doubts are compounded with the fact that it's still running the Symbian OS (although it is the updated Symbian^3), something consumers may think twice about when comparing it to the Android and iOS alternatives. And this is the crux: if Nokia can provide an excellent, well thought out operating system which, crucially, entices developers to provide plenty of high quality content then it'll stand a good chance of competing with the likes of Apple in the smartphone market.

Nokia N8 Customer Satisfaction....!

Today, phones are considered as one of the basic needs. It is the easiest mode of communication. A Mobile phone connects us world wide within seconds with our any problems. There are many phone companies coming up with Hi-tech phones to make our lives easier. One of the companies is Nokia. Nokia is well known for its sophisticated sections of phones. Nokia consumers are very satisfied by the phones, services, and deals that are provided to them.

Nokia N8 is one phone with highly developed features that leave the customer surprised. These phones carry out features that are not available in all the phones. Some of the features are the 12 mega pixel camera, High video quality, access to the internet, sound, and video conferencing.

These Nokia N8 contract phones are available in various colors like orange, silver, blue, and grey. Since these phones have an awesome camera n mp3, it is unnecessary to carry a camera for pictures or an IPod for music.

These phones are simply an entertainment box that never lets down the user and it is more convenient to carry it around without any wires attached. Nokia N8 also has a long lasting battery which is a plus point so you can use your phone for a longer time because the battery backup is strong.

Nokia bring out an entire new dimension when it comes to connection and entertainment. The camera has a face detector and smile detector making the camera a work of art in phones.

There are many websites online that provide all the possible required information needed for a buyer who is interested. The person interested can take his own time to research and compare phones and then pick one that suits his requirements. He can buy a phone with any choice of network connections. A few top network companies being Vodafone, Orange, O2, Virgin, and T mobile and so on.

Nokia N8 User Guide Available Online

Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia is expected to launch the Nokia N8, its first Symbian^3-based handset, sometime before the end of this month, but those who are interested in learning more on how the phone works can already download the full user guide from Nokia's website.

The document comes in PDF format and has a number of 122 pages of explanations on how to use the device or various services or applications it comes to the market with.

According to a recent post on My Nokia Blog, this should be the final version of the user guide for Nokia's Symbian^3 device, following the emergence of a similar solution sometime in May.

While many might not be interested in what the use guide has to say about the Nokia N8, it can still be consider as interesting reading before the actual device would land on the market, that's for sure.

As for when that would happen, things are still uncertain, it seems, for Nokia did not announce an official release date for the high-end mobile phone.

Nokia N8 official release date leaked

An official UK release date for the Nokia N8 has finally made its way onto the Internet, and it looks set to be available from September 23rd.

This highly anticipated news means that the handset may be available for pre-order within the next few days.

The information comes from a leak by Nokia themselves, so we’re gonna say that this one must be right. The handset’s release date was delayed after originally being set for August and we’ve been speculating ever since, but I’ve got a good feeling about this one.

Spies at NokNok discovered the official looking Google advertisement for Nokia Online, which stated that the handset is currently in stock and will be shipped from September 23rd.

Without a doubt, Nokia’s first Symbian^3 device is one of the most sought after handsets of the year. The N8 is set to feature a 3.5 inch AMOLED screen, HD video recording and a whopping 12MP camera.

The handset is also rumoured to feature a SIM free price-tag of £429.00, but this is yet to be confirmed.

Here’s hoping we only have a few weeks left to wait, we’ll keep you updated

Nokia N8 gets you a movie part with Pamela Anderson

Nokia is hoping to get publicity for the forthcoming Nokia N8 by inviting you to enter a competition to appear in a short film with Pamela Anderson and Ed Westwick.
The short feature, called ‘The Commuter’ will be shot exclusively on the N8, to show off its HD video capturing abilities.

Pamela said of the new movie: “I’m really excited about the film and can’t wait to get on set. I don’t want to give too much away, but my scenes are shot in a bedroom and I’m looking forward to going back to my Finnish roots and sharing my bed with a Nokia N8!”

The scene with Ed will involve getting up close and personal in a lift.

The winners of the competition will not only get to feature in the short film, but will also get to attend the star-studded London premier of the completed film in October.

The film is being directed by the McHenry Brothers, who have recently completed their first feature length movie, Jack Boots on Whitehall, featuring Ewan McGregor, Rosamund Pike, Richard E Grant and Timothy Spall.

Nokia N8 FM Transmitter Review

FM transmitter is just one multimedia feature that we also saw on the N97 classic and other devices and now we could also have it on the Nokia N8. The highlights of the review was on how to use the FM transmitter on the Nokia N8. So for those who knew how to use it already, you might be interested on the improvements of the Nokia N8 and Symbian’s offering on the Symbian^3 platform. But for those who are not familiar to this please watch the video below. See video after the break…



After seeing this video I was got more excited for the upcoming Nokia N8, so now I’m super excited. Not only because of the FM transmitter that was featured on this video but it’s the overall device itself. It’s freaking awesome watching this one as the real N8 usage reflects on smooth UI and top-notch multimedia support.

6 Reasons the Nokia N8 Might Hit the Stores

Julien Fourgeaud wrote some very convincing reasons on his blog that the Nokia N8 could start spreading to consumers on September 14th instead of the official “end of Q3.” We hear a lot of rumors in the blogosphere, but I’d pay attention to Julien because of his history with Nokia. He previously worked on development of various Eseries and Nseries devices and was with Symbian Foundation until 3 months ago to form his own consulting company.
You can read his post here, but I’ve taken some snippets from the article and listed them below.

Sept 14th is the grand opening of Nokia World.
Nokia N8 pre-orders delivered same day as Nokia World could send the device trending on Twitter and other social media.
700€ fee to get into Nokia World could cover the cost of everyone including the developers attending the Nokia Developer Summit receiving a Nokia N8.
The Nokia N8 is now available in the device selection on the Ovi Store.
The Nokia N8 is available at Remote Device Access for Forum Nokia Pro.
More Nokia N8′s are seen in the hands of Nokia Marketing people, indicating that they have provided enough devices to developers.
Do you agree and think Nokia can release the Nokia N8 on the 14th?

Nokia to launch N8 in India in mid Sept

Nokia said that it is planning to bring its latest high end smartphone N8 to India in September. This is the first Nokia device that uses the Symbian 3 platform.

Speaking at a press conference, Mary McDowell, executive vice president, mobile phones, Nokia Corp, said, "We will be launching the N8 in India in mid September." Nokia claims that it controls 72 per cent share in the smartphone segment in India, and about 42 per cent globally.

Nokia N8 releasing in a few weeks says Dolby

The long wait for the Nokia N8 looks like coming to an end in just a few weeks. That’s when Dolby, the guys behind the N8’s surround sound skills told one site that the Symbian^3 device will be arriving – just in time for Nokia World 2010.

Nokia fans have been waiting very patiently for what looks like being one of Nokia’s best, most feature-packed smartphones to date. While we don’t yet have a fixed date for the N8, the guys at Dolby, who developed the Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound feature of the N8 told gadget site Electricpig here in London that the N8 will be arriving mid-September.

That puts the N8 squarely in line with this year’s Nokia World 2010 event, which takes place between September 14-15, in, you’ve guessed it – London! Was it obvious all along?

The Nokia N8 is Nokia’s first to run the overhauled Symbian^3 operating system. It has a 12-megapixel camera, 16GB internal memory, HDMI output, can shoot 720p high definition video, and Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound when connected to a television with a compatible 5.1 surround sound speaker set-up. Not long to wait now.

Nokia N8 Offers 180% Performance Boost Over N97 Read: Nokia N8 Offers 180% Performance Boost Over N97

The Nokia N8 may be the most anticipated Nokia smartphone in years. A website has gotten their hands on an advance unit and ran some benchmarking tests on the Symbian^3 smartphone. Big surprise – it’s a lot faster than it’s predecessors.

FinestFones.com has gotten their hands on a Nokia N8 and used the Symbian app “Speedy Go!” on the device, measuring the device’s speed. Unsurprisingly, it blew the older Nokia N97 out of the water. Speedy Go! found that the Nokia N8 had a 54% improvement over the Samsung Omnia HD Symbian device, and a 180% increase on the Nokia N97. (I’d like to see the Nokia N8 go head to head with the N900. I have a feeling that would be a much fairer fight – but the N900 runs Maemo.)

According to Mr. X, who writes at FinestFones, Symbian^3 can take better advantage of a phone’s graphics processing power than Symbain S60, which explains the drastic performance increases. Then, Mr. X used a Symbian app called “FPC Bench 3D” which put the Nokia N8 through a series of rendering tests. On all eight tests, the Nokia N8 achieved the maximum score, 60 fps.

It’s worth noting that the N8 could actually do better than these benchmarks. Like that Russian blogger who got his hands on a Nokia N8 earlier this year, Mr. X warned that his Nokia N8 was running an unfinished version of the Symbian^3. It’s also worth saying that Mr. X is breaking somebody’s embargo by publishing this content to the internet – those who were given advance N8′s still aren’t supposed to publish info about it publicly. Ooops.

Are you anticipating the Nokia N8? Do you think it can compete with the likes of Android phones, the iPhone, and BlackBerries?

The main advantage Nokia N8 of browser is the fact that it includes the ability to play Flash-videos, which used to be something missing in the previous models. Recall, that the device will go on sale in some regions this fall.

Over the years I can recollect Sony Ericssonand Nokia have been fierce competitors with their outstanding Phones and over the last two years with their Smart Phones.

Firstly Nokia produced the Nokia 5800 and a little while later Sony Ericsson came up with an outstanding Smart Phone Satio to rival theNokia 5800. This then led Nokia to come back with the N900 running on the Maemo OS, Sony Ericsson then released two Smart Phones the Aino and Elm.

Enough of that lets get down to the nitty gritty of comparing our beloved Sony Ericsson Satio against theNokia N8.

Operating Sytsem

With the Satio been out now about 8 months,Nokia have had a quite a bit of time to find out what are the bad points of Symbian s60v5, obviously they have taken a close look because the Nokia N8 has the newSymbian^3 OS.

Camera

The Satio compares very well to the Nokia N8 with the Camera, both Phones have a 12 megapixel camera, both have Xenon Flash, however the N8 as HD video recording facilities.

Social Networking

Nokia have paid particular attention to Facebook in the Phone integrating it in to the N8, seeing that the majority of users are using Facebook on their Smart Phones. When Sony Ericsson Updated the Firmware about 6 weeks they ago integrated Facebook on to the Satio.

Multitouch

Whilst the N8 has multi touch the Satio does not, Nokiahave integrated the pinch movement(which looks very similar to Apples iPhone) into the new OS.

Conclusion

Overall the N8 dare I say it is a better Phone in most departments then the Satio, but Nokia have had a lot to learn from, with the Nokia 5800 and the Sony Ericsson Satio.

In my opinion if you are Sony Ericsson Lover or a Nokia Lover you will stay with whichever you like

Thanx to Satio Sony ericssion Dot Com
