The '''Nokia N8''' is a [[Engineering:Touchscreen|touchscreen]]-based [[Engineering:Smartphone|smartphone]] developed by [[Company:Nokia|Nokia]]. Announced on 27 April 2010, the Nokia N8 was the first device to run on the Symbian^3 [[Mobile operating system|mobile operating system]] and it was the company's flagship device for the year.<ref>https://www.pcworld.com/article/195047/nokia_n8_symbian_3.html</ref> It was released on 30 September 2010 at the Nokia Online Store before being released in markets around the world on 1 October 2010.<ref>{{cite web|author=Stan Schroeder |url=http://mashable.com/2010/09/08/nokia-n8-coming-september/ |title=Nokia N8 Release Date: End of September in the Online Shop, October 1 in UK Stores |publisher=Mashable.com |date=8 September 2010 |accessdate=1 August 2011}}</ref>

The N8 has a 3.5-inch [[Chemistry:AMOLED|AMOLED]] display with 16 gigabytes mass memory, and features a 12-megapixel camera, the second time a camera of such megapixel count was used (the first one being the [[Engineering:Sony Ericsson Satio|Sony Ericsson Satio]] in 2009) with a [[Chemistry:Xenon|Xenon]] flash (like the [[Engineering:Nokia N82|Nokia N82]]) and with a very large 1/1.83” sensor size (larger than most point-and-shoot cameras of the time).<ref>https://www.anandtech.com/show/4126/nokia-n8-review-/2</ref> It also has 720p HD video recording, a pentaband 3.5G radio, and an [[Engineering:FM transmitter (personal device)|FM transmitter]]. Among the connectivity features are an [[Engineering:HDMI|HDMI]] output, USB On-The-Go, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=3661|title=Nokia announces N8 device with 5-band WCDMA technology|date=27 April 2010|work=ZDNet.com}}</ref>

The N8 was an important device for Nokia in its bid against increasing competition in the smartphone industry, and its revamped Symbian^3 software was also important. The device was delayed several times pushing its release date by several months, which had a negative impact on the company.<ref>https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2010/09/nokia-n8-release-date-delayed-again/</ref><ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nokia-n8/nokia-delays-flagship-n8-again-idUSTRE68J4VZ20100921</ref> Despite mixed views on the Symbian software, the N8's hardware build and camera quality were very well received, with many calling it the "best camera phone".<ref>http://www.techhew.com/nokia-n8-the-best-camera-phone-in-the-world/</ref><ref>https://www.fonearena.com/blog/38403/why-the-nokia-n8-is-still-the-best-camera-phone.html</ref> The N8 would also become Nokia's last flagship device running Symbian, due to [[Engineering:Nokia Lumia 800|Nokia Lumia 800]] in 2011 which ran on [[Software:Windows Phone|Windows Phone]] software. The N8's Symbian successor, [[Engineering:Nokia 808 PureView|Nokia 808 PureView]], appeared in 2012.<ref>https://www.slashgear.com/nokia-n8-successor-to-offer-optical-zoom-symbian-08193940/</ref>

==History==
The previous flagship phone in the Nseries was the [[Engineering:Nokia N97|N97]], which was criticised for its initial [[Firmware|firmware]] issues. Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia's Executive Vice President for Markets, said in an interview that [[Software quality control|software quality control]] would be better than for the [[Engineering:Nokia N97#Older firmware issues|N97]].<ref name="Anssi Vanjoki talks frankly">{{cite web|url=http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/03/01/anssi-vanjoki-talks-frankly|title=Anssi Vanjoki talks frankly|date=1 March 2010|work=Nokia Conversations}}</ref> The N97's reception was highly negative and tarnished the company's image in the market.<ref>http://mynokiablog.com/2010/06/04/why-the-nokia-n8-wont-be-like-the-nokia-n97-nokia-n8-vs-nokia-n97/</ref> The N8 was the first device to feature the Symbian^3 [[Operating system|operating system]]. Initially scheduled for the second quarter of 2010, the N8 was pushed back to the third quarter,<ref name="engadget.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/nokia-delays-symbian-3-investors-not-impressed/|title=Nokia Delays Symbian^3; Investors Not Impressed|date=22 April 2010|work=Engadget}}</ref> being finally released on 30 September 2010 due to 'final amendments'. The N8 became the product with the most customer pre-orders in Nokia's history up to the point of its release<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/mobile-phones/1280953/nokia-n8-pre-orders-largest-in-history |title=Nokia N8 pre-orders largest in history |publisher=Expert Reviews |date= |accessdate=1 August 2011}}</ref> and sales in Q4 2010 were estimated to be almost 4 million.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n8_sales_nearing_4_million_units-news-2180.php|title=Nokia N8 sales nearing 4 million units}}</ref>

The previous Nokia phone with a focus on photography had been the N86 8MP, which has an 8-megapixel sensor and had become available on June 2009.<ref>[http://blog.mobiles.co.uk/new-phones/nokia-n86-8mp-camera-review-can-nokias-first-8-megapixel-camera-phone-live-up-to-the-hype/ UK Mobile Phone Blog: Nokia N86 8MP Camera Review].</ref>

The N8 was the second Nokia to have a [[Capacitive sensing|capacitive]] [[Engineering:Touchscreen|touchscreen]], following the X6, and the first with multi-touch.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nokian8forum.com/nokia-n8-troubleshooting/nokia-n8-user-guide/msg119/#msg119|title=Nokia N8 User Guide Download|date=7 October 2010}}</ref>

*Secondary 0.3 Mpx(VGA) camera for video calls

The video-capturing feature is complemented by the mini [[Engineering:HDMI|HDMI]] port located on the top side of the phone, which normally mirrors the phone's screen, but allows for applications (such as the built-in video player, the Nokia Big Screen app and selected games) to output content in resolutions up to [[Engineering:720p|720p]]. The corresponding cable is provided in the retail box in most regions.

==Music==
*At the time of its launch in November 2010 the Nokia N8 came with the "Comes With Music" service (also branded "Ovi Music Unlimited") in selected markets. In January 2011, Nokia stopped offering the Ovi Music Unlimited service in 27 of the 33 countries where it was offered. The service is still offered in China, India and Indonesia with a 12-month subscription and in Brazil, Turkey and South Africa with a 6-month subscription.  The reason for the closure in a majority of the markets where Ovi Music Unlimited was offered was due to a lack of popularity.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.techworld.com/mobile-wireless/3257132/nokia-to-stop-offering-ovi-music-unlimited-service/ |title=Nokia to stop offering Ovi Music Unlimited service - Unless you live in China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey or South Africa |date=18 February 2011 |publisher=News.techworld.com |accessdate=7 February 2012}}</ref>

==Promotion==
To highlight the capabilities of the Nokia N8 camera, Nokia created a short film, ''[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1764641/ The Commuter]'', in October 2010. Directed by the McHenry brothers and starring Dev Patel, Ed Westwick, Charles Dance and Pamela Anderson, the seven-minute film was shot entirely on the phone's 720p camera. For the Spanish promotion of the phone they also created a short video featuring luminescent puppets, called "[www.techfashy.com/2014/11/nokia-launches-their-first-android_18.html Love Knot]".<!--{{Fact}} begin-->{{fix
