The Nokia N8 was the first Nokia flagship running on Symbian^3 and featuring a magnificent 12 megapixel camera with xenon flash. It was later updated to symbian anna and then symbian belle which was so feature-packed. This video discovered the hardware and software features and innovations on the Nokia N8 as well as showcase it next to the new Nokia X20. N series lives in our hearts!

I remembered my classmate had it, and I was so impressed about its outside look. I wished to get it at that time, 2011, but I could not afford the price. Poor me...

I still have this phone and using it on daily bases.

After watching this video, all I can say is "wow". Just "wow"

Old nokia was truly a blessing every phone was so different

Nokia was so much ahead of its time. The designs still look more than modern and futuristic, and everytime I use that Symbian, which is pretty much a 2011 OS, feels really modern, especially comparing it to the OS back then, but it still holds up today, in many aspects even better than modern OS. (Except of course the lack of any support nowadays). I always imagine how far Symbian could be, if Nokia went on developing it further!

This was the very first device ever that brought photography revolution to the Smartphone world, because prior to this device, smartphones came with cameras equipped in them but they used to be just about very average in quality but when the N8 arrived, it took out the market by storm, hence bringing Smartphone photography to the main stream. Yes, I'm proud to be a Nokia fanboy.

What I love about this particular Nokia smartphone is that Nokia built a 12MP camera sensor with 1/1.83" and 1.75 micron pixel in 2010! Sony took exactly one DECADE later to create a modern day interpretation of such sensor with the IMX 555 for non-Ultra flagship Samsung Galaxy models and IMX 557 for flagship Sony Xperias. It does really show just how totally ahead of the times Nokia were used to be.

I had this phone for a couple of years. A few things to add:
The camera had a mechanical shutter and a two stage camera button (as is tradition)
There were two ways to charge it. USB and the legacy Nokia pin charger
Beside the USB host it also supported keyboard and mouse. So you can go desktop mode with HDMI out.
The OS would multi task the sound so you can listen to a podcast at the same time with music. if you want.
The screen was AMOLED and had a customizable always on screen. You can put your own picture to always display when phone is idle.

Symbian looked so beautiful. It looked miles better than stock Android 2.0

The N95 and N8 were two devices that I yearned to own back when they launched.

Legends will always stay alive in our heart.

I have an N8 just for nostalgia sake. What I love about the phone is how many cool hardware features and I/O ports/slots it has, like a xenon flash with autofocus light, a ring illuminated home button, a charging light, two-stage shutter button, and a spring-loaded lock/unlock switch. Reminds us how many awesome hardware features are missing from flagships nowadays.

The best Nokia ever made, and the last flagship MADE IN FINLAND!

[andrewbarbarash]

I had this phone. It changed the game for me. The first smart phone I could legitimately do every day tasks we use today from WhatsApp, social media, Spotify and YouTube. Very fond memories. Beautiful materials and classy.

I still too this day use the Nokia N8 a strong and smooth you forgot the FM sender also I know nobody uses them anymore which are the 3 coolerd cable's but it was amazing at that time and sadly you are right about the apps and the browsers lagging to much aside from that it is incredible 😎

[captainmorgan]

Nice. It would be wise for HMD to look back in the past in reproduce some of the hardware elements of Nokia's past phones. I.E. The notification

[ahmarsafdar]

This was my first mobile and that feeling was great can't express in words
