Nokia has now released their new smartphone, the N8, which is sized just like other phones in its class, at a weight of 1335 grams and a size of 114 x 59 x 13mm. You can talk for more than 6 hours straight on the 3G network with its battery, and it will stand up to 7 hours of video playback and 50 hours of music playback, as well as 16 straight days of standby time. There are a variety of colors in which you can get it, from dark gray to orange and everything in between.

The operating system powering the N8 is the new Symbian^3. Most smartphones already use the Symbian OS, but the Symbian^3 is the newest in the line. The N8 is the first phone to run it. A couple of other great features are the touchscreen, which supports flick scrolling and pinch-to-zoom, and the customizable homescreens, which allow convenient access to your favorite apps and widgets.

The user interface is speedy thanks to the 3D and 2D graphics architecture that uses the N8′s hardware acceleration to its fullest. The Symbian^3 OS also allows multiple tasks to be running at once with no slow down thanks to the improved memory management system.

The Nokia N8 not only features great sound quality when it comes to talk time, but you are also looking at your very own personal entertainment center. It offers Hi-Definition video along with Dolby Digital Plus sound that can easily be plugged into your home entertainment system. From there, you can do all sorts of things, whether it is accessing the Internet and watching programs on websites like Hulu, or if it is accessing your music and using your Nokia N8 as your own personal DJ, you can definitely get the party started and keep it going all night long with your Nokia N8 smartphone.

You can connect to a number of social networks automatically with the N8 and stay up-to-date with your social circles, as well as the great Web TV features and other Ovi Store apps you can use. You can record in high definition with the 12 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera and you can edit these videos or any pictures you take with the inbuilt photo editing software. The camera is of superb quality with a larger sensor than most compact cameras and a great Xenon flash.

With social networking so popular these days the N8 has been built with it in mind. You can update your status, tweets, share pictures locations and view live feeds on Twitter and Facebook, all from one application you can access from the homescreen. You can synchronize your calendars on your phone with Facebook and you get free global Ovi Maps, with GPS navigation. The maps and GPS will cover you in over 70 countries around the world.
