We’ve put together this list to tell you everything you need to know about the Nokia N8, with five features that help it to stand out from rivals.

Symbian ^3 Operating system
The Nokia N8 features the brand new Symbian ^3 operating system, which brings a host of benefits over previous versions of Symbian. You’ll find multiple home pages, for a start, as with the likes of Android, and the icons and menus make it a lot better suited to touchscreen use.

HD video recording
The Nokia N8 is capable of recording videos in 720p high-definition, and the results are simply staggering. The quality of videos is better than some stand-alone camcorders, and no longer will you be reduced to taking low-quality shaky videos with your cameraphone.

Capacitive touchscreen
The Nokia N8 boasts a capacitive touchscreen, offering multi-touch and providing fast and smooth responses. It’s perfect for using the onscreen keyboard, and you should also find it more than responsive enough for browsing the internet or flicking through menus.

Aluminium finish
Unlike previous Nokia smartphones, the Nokia N8 is finished in anodised aluminium, providing excellent quality. It’s sturdy in the hand, and looks great. It also lets Nokia take on the HTC Legend head to head, giving consumers wanting a metal smartphone more choice.

12-Megapixel camera
One of the most impressive features on the Nokia N8 is its 12-Megapixel camera. With Carl Zeiss optics and autofocus, along with a xenon flash, it’s capable of taking incredibly detailed photographs, and it really won’t matter if you forget to pack your dedicated camera when out and about.
