• Availability of a richer Ovi Store experience – starting with the Nokia N8 – that includes a friendlier look and feel, and more popular and unique apps and games;

Penned as the “ultimate entertainment smartphone and world’s best cameraphone”, the N8′s flagship feature is its 12 megapixel camera, which is said to rival standalone digital cameras and is capable of shooting 720p HD video.

The device also has 16GB of built-in storage and an HDMI out so that it can be plugged into a HD television so that anything on the phone (not just video and photos) is mirrored on the TV.
