FINNISH PHONE MAKER Nokia said Sim Free N8 handsets will be available from 26 August, with one website advertising it at £420 including VAT.Of its many features it is the N8's 12 Megapixel camera with Xenon flash that can record HD quality video that is most anticipated. Beyond that it boasts a 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 16GB of memory, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G and its OS is Symbian^3.
Its 1200mAh battery will deliver 390 hours of standby time, 12 hours of talk time for GSM networks, 50 hours of music playback and 7 hours for playing video.
Sadly the delayed Symbian^3 operating system is the latest in a long line that have failed to capture the public's imagination. Windows Mobile, anyone? And Nokia is not even using Symbian^3 for its other mobile devices. It's opting instead for its Meego OS, which it is developing with Intel. Nokia even admits the N8 will be its only device that will use Symbian^3.
Meanwhile T-Mobile has only a registration page for potential customers, as does Vodafone.
