Nokia N8 rrives as a phone solution for those seeking to register the best moments of life, or even for those who can not carry a real digital camera all the time in purse or backpack, making photography more practical.
It is a very competent device for managing contacts and appointments, as is traditional in Nokia devices, and is also an interesting option for those who want to keep your life organized and your schedule on time. In addition, online resources (internet, GPS, WiFi) work very well, and with some features being activated automatically, with the ability for you to set everything independently, and controlling the consumption of data on your smartphone. It is a complete product, which promises to appeal to beginners, intermediate, and those who already use the company's products for several years.
Screen and accessibility
Your screen AMOLED results in clear and vivid images for games, videos and photos. Combine this with the fact that the screen is capacitive, and have a screen where the touch experience is accurate, especially in the use of its virtual QWERTY keyboard. Easily the user can zoom into photos using your fingers like pincers, and the transition between pictures in albums is very agile. However, their access to menu options is somewhat complicated, if compared to other systems, can be a barrier for novice users, and annoying for the more experienced. Three screens for adding widgets and shortcuts of applications is low, but even this can be mitigated, since the user can add unlimited shortcuts on the main menu.
Internet
Nokia N8 is well served for those who need to be connected anywhere. You get internet via 3G and WiFi, with good performance for the two networks (in the case of 3G will depend on the capacity of your carrier), and with features that allow the user has greater control of how, when and why where you will use the internet. The user can configure to access is done only over WiFi, so always ask before accessing or automatically, for when you are not having any available WiFi network.
The browser native N8 improved, with faster and better display of pages, but with greater data consumption, compared to Opera Mobile / Mini. Access to Ovi Shop is simplified through an icon on the Applications page, but here lies a major problem in Nokia, which is the absence of their paid apps in your store.
For novice users, the options are more than sufficient, but for more experienced users and demanding, this is a problem that has caused discomfort for some time. But remember that with what we have free applications, users will be able to do much in the machine.
Camera
Here is the highlight of the Nokia N8. He has one of the best cameras for mobile devices that you can find on the market. And not only by the available number of megapixels in the camera (12 MP), but by a whole as a whole: Carl Zeiss lens, Xenon flash, storage system exclusive power to activate the flash, the advanced autofocus, shooting in two stages, editing facilities ... several implementations that make camera N8 really good. Good point you to leave your digital camera "for real" at home, for more casual situations.
On the video, the same thing: HD video recording, two microphones to capture dedicated audio editing features with various transition effects, among others. Perhaps the only caveat is to make the fact that their way of recording in high definition (720p) is made at 25 FPS, while in mode 640 x 480 pixels, the record is made at 30 FPS. For its features, the Nokia N8 could record videos without any problems in HD at 30 FPS. We hope that the software updates that this device will get this fixed.
Other resources
One of the points to be highlighted in the N8 is its battery. One reason for the Nokia devices with normally developing hardware resources theoretically weaker than their competitors is to offer greater autonomy to use the device. And the Nokia N8 is no different: using all available resources on a regular basis (ie, accessing the Internet as much as the WiFi for 3G, using GPS when necessary, listening to music 4 hours per day on average, updating social networks by adding contacts and calendar appointments, etc.), the unit had autonomy to use at least two full days. This time can be longer if you consider that eventually you will download pictures and videos on the device, and as the N8 can be charged via USB, it makes their autonomy increases.
Another important point is that the N8 is a good platform for games and entertainment. Using the accelerometer, strategy games and racing end up being a natural choice for applications to be installed in the air, leaving the product even more complete. He has about 170 MB of disk space for installation of native applications in addition to 16 GB of storage for the user, which can also be used to install programs and games. Therefore, it is highly recommended to buy a microSD card (up to 32 GB), so you do not worry about space for saving your photos, videos and music.
In addition, the unit still has the feature USB On-The-Go, which allows the user to connect devices like USB drives to exchange files between your connected device and memory, making life easier for those who need to transfer that picture to a computer, but does not include the USB cable in time for this.
