Everything flows on the Nokia N8
The features list of the Nokia N8 leaves little to be desired: Serves offers multi-touch is the 12.9 millimeter flat text over a capacitive AMOLED-capable touch screen with a screen diagonal of 8.9 inches and a resolution of only 640 by 360 pixels, the unit in conjunction with a removable memory card in the microSD format, up to 48 GB disk space, and for mobile wireless data connections is next to n and HSPA with up to 10.2 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream ready. But the hardware was already in the previous hopefuls Nokia N97 is not the problem - it was the cumbersome operating system Symbian S60 5th Edition, with its double-click commands and narrow scroll bar.
The scroll bar in the menu of the Nokia N8 are still kept small, a disturbance but not more, for on the touch screen of the new smartphone is possible to scroll to any point of the glass surface. On double-click commands as with the Nokia N97 dispensed with in the new OS version Symbian 3rd At all impressed in the first short test of the Nokia N8, how quickly the phone is running smoothly and is to operate. This is evident as when you switch between the three customizable Home screens via widgets, when scrolling through the menu or through the cover flow view in the music player and also fluent in the playing of videos. Therefore, according to an ARM processor provides Nokia with 680 MHz CPU and a separate graphic.
However, we could in the short test the processor does not bring to the limits of its capabilities. When switching from the video player in another application, for example, paused image and sound, as a glance in the task switcher showed. The music player plays in the background, however the data stored in playlists from songs unwaveringly. The task can Switcher is a program manager, disable the user in the active functions of the phone quickly or switch quickly from one running application to another. Nokia really speaks for N8 of real multitasking programs should not continue to freeze in the background, but.
Social summarizes client status updates from Facebook and Twitter
The construction, the folder structure and the icons of the surface of the Nokia N8 are users of previous smart phones with Symbian S60 5th Edition, such as the N97 or the 5800 XpressMusic, familiar. Depending on the market, the machine should be offered with some different pre-installed programs and apps. For software size of us shown prototypes included the Nokia standard browser with Flash support, the office suite Quickoffice, Ovi cards with free (pedestrian) navigation in over 70 countries, access to the App Store and a so-called Social client, which is located on one of the Home screen and combines messages and status updates from social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Contact information and events from Facebook can be synchronized with the phone's address book, so that for example, contacts in the mobile phone address book with a Facebook profile photo are provided. With the GPS receiver equipped with a Nokia N8, users can also post their specific location on Facebook or Twitter, and thus show where he is doing what.
