There are actually a lot of features but my best feature is the HD capability and the HMDI outlet with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound, AWESOME. HD camcorder, DSTV and Multi Media unit all in one Fantastic device, NOKIA N8

Not sure exactly what the “Proximity sensor” does, but sounds cool!

Number 1 feature – Ultimately is the 50 hours of music playback. yep 50 hours. Couple that with usb-on-the-go. Friends bring their flash drive. Play the music from the flash drive via the build in fm-transmitter to a massive hi-fi. That while sitting next to the braai vleis fire. Schuffel through loads of music while doing the meat on the fire and having a party. Proberly not 50 hours with the fm transmiter and usb on the go – but 30 hour will even do. PEOPLE BRING YOUR CHOP AND YOUR DOP, i’ve got the nokia n8 and a big hi-fi and loads of braavleis hout!

Nokia N8 features the Symbian 3 OS and also multi touch, flick scrolling and pinch-zoom

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.
Duncan
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.

GPS with A-GPS support and Ovi Maps 3.0 is a feature I will use on a daily basis!
The 12Mp camera is obviously full of rather interesting features! Carl Zeiss lenses have become my lens of choice over the years. Add to this the 1/1.83” sensor size, ND filter, geo-tagging, face and smile detection, and you have quite the package!
I also can’t wait to try this new “Plug and Touch” feature which turns any TV into a touchscreen! Brilliant!

hi.
thx for this game
i’ve watched the N8 long time during the development.
I use my n900 and i’m very happy with it.
The N8 with its powerfull ARM 11 processor seems to be a realy hard opponent for it running on 680MHz is quit fast for multithreading! and it’s not the top of the ladder overclocking can bring it easy to over 1ghz i think

The best feature is actually the combination of 2 features: The Full HD camera combined with Web Connectivity literally means you could live 14000 kms away from civilisation and your ouma wouldn’t miss your baby girls first steps – she could have a 1st birthday party with all your family in her lounge and you could sit in the bush with your cupcakes and party hat and it would almost be like having them with you. Except, there’d be no cheek-pinching, and you could have ‘technical difficulties’ when Aunt Sally drank too much grown-up punch and wanted to chat about your love life

Video stabilization means crisp, watchable recordings!
