Nokia USA has launched pre-orders in the United States for the company’s new flagship smartphone, the Nokia N8. With the N8. Nokia is sticking to its so-for-unsuccessful strategy ofbring smartphones to to American consumers without a carrier partner: that means the N8 runs $549, and customers still have to arrange for service on top of that.
Announced back in April, The Nokia N8 will be Nokia’s first smartphone to feature the company’s revamped Symbian S^3 operating system; the phone also packs a lot of high-end hardware, including a 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen display with a 640 by 360-pixel resolution, 16 GB of internal memory, 802.11g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, and a 12 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics that can easily handle shooting high-definition video. For viewing high-definition content, the phone sports HDMI output so it can pop directly onto a high-definition TV.
The Nokia also offers assisted GPS, an FM receiver, and microSD removable storage that can handle up to 32 GB. Also on board: a proximity sensor, accelerometer, and ambient light sensor.
Nokia has been pushing Symbian S^3 as a mobile gaming and entertainment OS, although it packs a full kit of Internet capabilities too, including a full HTML Web browser, clients for social networking services like Twitter and Facebook. Nokia has also packed high-definition video editing capabilities right into the phone, so users can edit high-definition video and push it to services like YouTube without the intervention of a standard computer. Of course, the phone will also tap into Nokia’s range of Ovi services, including Ovi Maps and the Ovi Store for add-on apps.
Nokia says the N8 will ship to customers by the end of September.
