Detailed review
This phone is amazing. I'm trying to write an objective review, but it's rather impossible to do that because if you ever owned a Nokia N8 you know that it's unfair to compare this phone to any other phone. Why? Because Nokia N8 is a multimedia gadget more than a phone. It captures amazing pictures and videos, it features a FM transmitter, HDMI output and many interesting features. Too bad that they delayed Symbian Belle for so long, too bad that there are not enough apps for it. If you want a smartphone that's durable, great battery life and amazing photo/video experience then Nokia N8 is the right smartphone for you. I bought mine one year ago, during which I bought an iPhone 4. But I still have the Nokia N8. I just couldn't get rid of it.
