shipping. Customers who have placed a pre-order for the Nokia N8 in Nokia Online Shops
and Nokia retail stores will be the first to receive their Nokia N8. Market availability
will vary by country and by operator, with broad availability in the coming weeks.  

"With the N8, and the new Symbian software, we are bringing a familiar, faster and more
intuitive user experience to the world's most popular smartphone platform. The Nokia N8
has received the highest amount of consumer pre-orders in Nokia history and we are
thrilled to start shipments of the N8, the first of Nokia's new Symbian smartphone
range," says Jo Harlow, Senior Vice President, Smartphones, Nokia. 

"To appeal to today's high-end buyers, smartphones have to be enjoyable, useful and
beautiful. Ease of use, excellent multimedia performance and elegant design are all
essential elements of the package," says John Delaney, Research Director, IDC.

The first of a series of smartphones based on the new Symbian, the Nokia N8 is fast and
easy to use and supports true multitasking, allowing users to run multiple apps
simultaneously and switch between them easily. Dubbed the world's best camera phone, the
Nokia N8 lets you take the highest quality photos and shoot HD-quality videos in supreme
clarity with the 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics. You can edit photos and videos
on-screen and choose from multiple ways to share them; transfer large files to an
external hard-drive with USB-on-the-go, or upload photos to social networks like
Facebook, Twitter or RenRen straight from the homescreen.  All this is delivered in a
robust aluminum body in a range of vibrant colors with a real-glass 3.5" AMOLED display.
 

The Nokia N8 has a black belt in entertainment. Its WebTV apps from channels like E!
Entertainment, National Geographic and CNN and the intuitive music player inject an
element of fun into idle moments.  Plug the device to the home entertainment center to
watch HD-quality videos from the big screen with full Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound.
 The latest version of Ovi Store, available first on the Nokia N8, gives easy access to
more apps - from social networking services like Foursquare to games like Need for Speed
Shift or productivity apps like Tesco in the UK.
