Nokia N8

The very first mobile I had was Nokia 3210 which I bought secondhand from my roommate when I worked overseas. It was one of my most loved cellphones because it was the firstborn in my 'mobiledom' so to speak, but when I got a newer one I gave it away to .. I can't remember who. I also had N90 which you can see on the photo below, which I used taking photo shoots of my favorite big nephew. I liked its twist and turn and how I could manipulate the flip side for better grip and shoots. I also liked the big screen to watch You Tube clips while commuting and getting caught in bad traffic. My only complaint was that it was heavy and I could not comfortably sit down when I put it in my pocket.

Nokia has been a top mobile selling brand. It has served millions of customers with high quality products and excellent service. It has always been offering the most user-friendly mobiles in the market. The Nokia Nseries was a very popular launching. The very first three Nseries (N70, N90, N91) were introduced in April of 2005. And a few more Nseries were released in the succeeding years. The line of phones under this name has a number of high-tech features that other phones do not have.

In anticipation, tech-savvy people made a pre-order of Nokia N8, the latest addition in the high-end Nokia Nseries. And according to Nokia this may be the last device in its flagship Nseries with Symbian OS, but will continue using Symbian on its mass-marketed handsets.
