While comparing Nokia devices to what the competition was doing, many customers realized that the interface on Symbian OS started to look outdated and was slow. Fortunately, Nokia was aware of the problem and wanted to release a device that featured their latest evolution of the Symbian Operating System, Symbian^3, which would bring a neater UI and improved performance. Indeed, the Nokia N8 will be the first device to introduce this long-awaited operating system and will hopefully set a new tone for the Finnish company.

Nevertheless, the Nokia N8 isn't just a "test device" supposed to introduce a new Operating System to see how the market reacts, but is a real innovative product that brings mobile entertainment like no other phone has been able to offer. Indeed, this new device offers a whole buffet of multimedia and entertainment features: An amazing 12MP Carl Zeiss Camera with autofocus and Xenon + LED flash, a 3.5" AMOLED screen, an HDMI port, HD Video recording and playback, online TV programs, 16 gigs of internal storage and 3D accelerated graphics for an awesome gaming experience.

Let's take a deeper look at what the Nokia N8 is going to bring and if its new Symbian^3 User Interface is really bringing something new.

Let’s say you want to show off how your phone functions as a GPS receiver to your friends and show where you are right now on a map; problem is, you will need to be outdoors to get a precise positioning of yourself and chances are you will receive a “No GPS Signal” message if you are not. To solve this problem (not the show offing!) a standard in the positioning world called A-GPS has been created.

Nokia usually updates several phones at the same time, especially when the new firmware versions are not major updates. Therefore, the Finnish manufacturer released several updates for many Symbian devices. Not only older phones were updated, but also newer devices that were released earlier this year. The 5800, the E72, the X6 and the N86 8MP all got new firmware versions that bring software improvements to the devices.

For readers of NokiaLB who use social networking services of sites such as Twitter and Facebook, you will definitely have come across one or two statuses that said something like: “I have lost my phone everybody please send me your contact information,” or “I dropped juice on my phone, please send me your numbers.”
