...Nokia seems set to officially unveil its first Symbian^3-based mobile phone by the middle of the next month, right before the company's Annual General Meeting in Helsinki, a recent article on Engadget notes. Moreover, it seems that the new device might turn into a highly appealing handset, at least this is what the available images with it, as well as the leaked specs, show.

Among these rumored specifications, we can count a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, supposedly of WVGA resolution, coupled with a 12-megapixel photo snapper that should also boast Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics. Considering the fact that other handset vendors already delivered 12MP behemoths to the market, it doesn't come as a surprise that Nokia will make a step in this direction too, that's for sure.

Other specifications of the upcoming device include an HDMI port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, 720p video recording at 30 fps, DivX playback, support for multi-touch gestures, and other more, but most of these are only suppositions at the moment, it seems. However, some of the newly leaked specs seem to be in line with what has been rumored before, and they might actually pan out in the end...

Nokia N8-00 gets first official mention with Symbian^3 and nHD display

...the first official mention of what looks to be Nokia's first Symbian^3 handset. The culprit is the "NN8-00r100-3G" XML file sitting pretty on nokia.com right now. The first notables are a "N8-00" model and the "Symbian/3" string listed in the agent header that seemingly confirm that the N8-00 will run Symbian^3. Next is a "360 x 640 pixel" screen size. Note that the N8-00 display is rumored to be 3.5-inches making this a very similar nHD display to the one found on Nokia's current N-series flagship: the N97. The difference this time is that we're expecting Nokia's newest flagship to opt for a capacitive touchscreen display to match Symbian^3's more finger friendly UI. Unfortunately, we're not seeing any mention of the rumored 12 megapixel camera and the only keyboard mentioned is a "PhoneKeyPad" -- in other words, no QWERTY not that we were expecting one. We do see Bluetooth 2.0 and radios for WiFi and GPRS/EGPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA among the other details...
there's a pic and link to this file they're talking about on the engadget site

Mugen EvOlutioN 03-29-2010 10:18 AM

gonna get it this month (april)


but havent decide going with kura or x10
similar function different processor.

one is $550, x10 is $750 range.


might be leaning towrads kura just because i dont really need the processor. even tho x10 looks better

t8v6 03-29-2010 11:48 AM

im looking more towards the htc desire =)
was thinking of getting the x10 before but then its ridiculously overpriced and is still running android 1.6 rather than 2.1 that htc offers =(

N8 doesnt look too appealing compared to what else is coming up in the market.

StylinRed 03-29-2010 01:56 PM

the x10 is sweet but if the specs are as rumored the N8 will be a beast

StylinRed 04-22-2010 03:50 AM

its rumored announcement date came and went and now this article


Quote:

Nokia ... It confirmed the widespread speculation that it has delayed the launch of devices based on the newest version of its Symbian mobile phone software. The company has yet to produce a handset that can compete directly with Apple's iPhone in the very top end of the smartphone market and there are hopes that the Symbian^3 software platform will enable Nokia to regain some of its former magic.

But Nokia said in its statement today that while it plans to launch the first smartphone based on the platform in the second quarter of this year, shipments are not expected until the third quarter, three months later than the market had hoped. The phone in question is widely believed to be the Nokia N8, a touchscreen phone that has a mammoth 12-megapixel camera. Nokia hopes it will compete head-on with the next generation of the iPhone – expected in the summer – as well as Android handsets such as Google's Nexus One and the HTC Desire.

doesnt look too bad here though but still kinda :/ yuck



supposedly thats not a enhanced video recording sample from the phone (watch it in hd on vimeo)

krazynuck 04-29-2010 05:56 PM

^ I know what you mean....As a strong supporter of Nokia this design does nothing for me....however it has a bit to do with some of the colors they offer...

I however will for sure buy this phone....even with the the just 'ok' design

the HDMI is an added bonus and I like the estimated $500 USD price

bcrdukes 04-29-2010 06:38 PM

A good camera on a Nokia? :confused:

StylinRed 04-29-2010 07:25 PM

Yeah Krazynuck aside from the design im sooo grabbing this phone, Nokia is kinda forced to have a lower price point. so thats good news for us ^^ (their other phones have been plummeting in price because they're having trouble competing)

Too bad the screen res is still the same as N97. If only it was WVGA

StylinRed 04-30-2010 10:30 PM

yeah the screen res was a bit odd, but its oled and has a glass screen :)

but the specs are just awesome anyway, wireless-N too

StylinRed 05-04-2010 09:15 PM

china already has N8 and Apple 4G Clones

here's a pic of the N8 clone

endgadget has some nice pics of the N8, nokia wouldn't show them the UI though says it'll be turned on when its release day -_-


the phone actually looks HUGE to me, i knew it was big but i thought that meant it might be thin... but its not
