The Nokia N8 is a touchscreen-based smartphone developed by Nokia. Announced on 27 April 2010, the Nokia N8 was the first device to run on the Symbian^3 mobile operating system and it was the company's flagship device for the year.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pcworld.com/article/195047/nokia_n8_symbian_3.html|title = Nokia N8 Boasts Beefy Specs, Revamped Symbian 3 OS}} It was released on 30 September 2010 at the Nokia Online Store before being released in markets around the world on 1 October 2010.{{cite web|author=Stan Schroeder |url=http://mashable.com/2010/09/08/nokia-n8-coming-september/ |title=Nokia N8 Release Date: End of September in the Online Shop, October 1 in UK Stores |publisher=Mashable.com |date=8 September 2010 |access-date=1 August 2011}} There were two versions made, the N8 and the N8-00. The N8 was made for Vodafone and locked to its networks,{{cite web |title=Nokia N8 – smartphone – GSM / UMTS Series Specs |url=https://www.cnet.com/products/nokia-n8-smartphone-gsm-umts-series/ |website=cnet.com |publisher=cnet |access-date=23 March 2021}} and the N8-00 was made by Microsoft and open network.{{cite web |title=Nokia N8-00 – smartphone – GSM / UMTS Series Specs |url=https://www.cnet.com/products/nokia-n8-00-smartphone-gsm-umts-series/ |website=cnet.com |publisher=cnet |access-date=23 March 2021}}
The N8 has a 3.5-inch AMOLED display with 16 gigabytes of mass memory, and features a 12-megapixel camera, the second time a camera of such a megapixel count was used (the first one being the Sony Ericsson Satio in 2009) with a Xenon flash (like the Nokia N82) and with a very large 1/1.83" sensor size (larger than most point-and-shoot cameras of the time).{{Cite web|url=https://www.anandtech.com/show/4126/nokia-n8-review-/2|title=Nokia N8 Review: Nokia's New Flagship}} It also has 720p HD video recording, a pentaband 3.5G radio, and an FM transmitter. Among the connectivity features are an HDMI output, USB On-The-Go, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.{{cite web|url=http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=3661|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100429070208/http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=3661|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 April 2010|title=Nokia announces N8 device with 5-band WCDMA technology|date=27 April 2010|work=ZDNet.com}}
The N8 was an important device for Nokia in its bid against increasing competition in the smartphone industry, and its revamped Symbian^3 software was also important. The device was delayed several times pushing its release date by several months, which harmed the company.{{cite web |url=https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2010/09/nokia-n8-release-date-delayed-again/ |title=Nokia N8 release date delayed again |website=uswitch.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181006235300/https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2010/09/nokia-n8-release-date-delayed-again/ |archive-date=2018-10-06}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nokia-n8/nokia-delays-flagship-n8-again-idUSTRE68J4VZ20100921|title=Nokia delays flagship N8 again|work=Reuters|date=21 September 2010}} Despite mixed views on the Symbian software, the N8's hardware build and camera quality were very well received, with many calling it the "best camera phone".{{Cite web|url=http://www.techhew.com/nokia-n8-the-best-camera-phone-in-the-world/|title = Nokia N8: The Best Camera Phone in the World| date=16 September 2011 }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.fonearena.com/blog/38403/why-the-nokia-n8-is-still-the-best-camera-phone.html|title = Why the Nokia N8 is still the best camera phone !}} The N8 would also become Nokia's last flagship device running Symbian, due to the Nokia Lumia 800 in 2011 which ran on Windows Phone software. The N8's Symbian successor, the Nokia 808 PureView, appeared in 2012.{{Cite web|url=https://www.slashgear.com/nokia-n8-successor-to-offer-optical-zoom-symbian-08193940/|title=Nokia N8 successor to offer optical zoom, Symbian|date=8 November 2011}}
History
The previous flagship phone in the Nseries was the N97, which was criticised for its initial firmware issues. Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia's Executive Vice President for Markets, said in an interview that software quality control would be better than for the N97.{{cite web|url=http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/03/01/anssi-vanjoki-talks-frankly|title=Anssi Vanjoki talks frankly|date=1 March 2010|work=Nokia Conversations|access-date=6 June 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723071126/http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/03/01/anssi-vanjoki-talks-frankly|archive-date=23 July 2011|url-status=dead}} The N97's reception was highly negative and tarnished the company's image in the market.{{Cite web|url=http://mynokiablog.com/2010/06/04/why-the-nokia-n8-wont-be-like-the-nokia-n97-nokia-n8-vs-nokia-n97/|title = Why the Nokia N8 Won't be like the Nokia N97. Nokia N8 vs Nokia N97|date = 4 June 2010}} The N8 was the first device to feature the Symbian^3 operating system. Initially scheduled for the second quarter of 2010, the N8 was pushed back to the third quarter,{{cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/nokia-delays-symbian-3-investors-not-impressed/|title=Nokia Delays Symbian^3; Investors Not Impressed|date=22 April 2010|work=Engadget}} being finally released on 30 September 2010 due to 'final amendments'. The N8 became the product with the most customer pre-orders in Nokia's history up to the point of its release{{cite web |url=http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/mobile-phones/1280953/nokia-n8-pre-orders-largest-in-history |title=Nokia N8 pre-orders largest in history |publisher=Expert Reviews |access-date=1 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110621031138/http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/mobile-phones/1280953/nokia-n8-pre-orders-largest-in-history |archive-date=21 June 2011 |url-status=dead }} and sales in Q4 2010 were estimated to be almost 4 million.{{cite web|url = http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n8_sales_nearing_4_million_units-news-2180.php|title=Nokia N8 sales nearing 4 million units}}
The previous Nokia phone with a focus on photography had been the N86 8MP, which has an 8-megapixel sensor and had become available in June 2009.{{cite web |url=http://blog.mobiles.co.uk/new-phones/nokia-n86-8mp-camera-review-can-nokias-first-8-megapixel-camera-phone-live-up-to-the-hype/ |title=UK Mobile Phone Blog: Nokia N86 8MP Camera Review |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110812153854/http://blog.mobiles.co.uk/new-phones/nokia-n86-8mp-camera-review-can-nokias-first-8-megapixel-camera-phone-live-up-to-the-hype/ |archive-date=12 August 2011 |url-status=dead}}
The N8 was the second Nokia to have a capacitive touchscreen, following the X6, and the first with multi-touch.{{cite web|url=http://www.nokian8forum.com/nokia-n8-troubleshooting/nokia-n8-user-guide/msg119/#msg119|title=Nokia N8 User Guide Download|date=7 October 2010|access-date=10 October 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714191256/http://www.nokian8forum.com/nokia-n8-troubleshooting/nokia-n8-user-guide/msg119/#msg119|archive-date=14 July 2011|url-status=dead}}

Music
- At the time of its launch in November 2010 the Nokia N8 came with the "Comes With Music" service (also branded "Ovi Music Unlimited") in selected markets. In January 2011, Nokia stopped offering the Ovi Music Unlimited service in 27 of the 33 countries where it was offered. The service is still offered in China, India and Indonesia with a 12-month subscription and in Brazil, Turkey and South Africa with a 6-month subscription. The reason for the closure in a majority of the markets where Ovi Music Unlimited was offered was due to a lack of popularity.{{cite web |url=http://news.techworld.com/mobile-wireless/3257132/nokia-to-stop-offering-ovi-music-unlimited-service/ |title=Nokia to stop offering Ovi Music Unlimited service – Unless you live in China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey or South Africa |date=18 February 2011 |publisher=News.techworld.com |access-date=7 February 2012 |archive-date=7 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120407002145/http://news.techworld.com/mobile-wireless/3257132/nokia-to-stop-offering-ovi-music-unlimited-service/ |url-status=dead }}

Promotion
To highlight the capabilities of the Nokia N8 camera, Nokia created a short film, [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1764641/ The Commuter], in October 2010. Directed by the McHenry Brothers and starring Dev Patel, Ed Westwick, Charles Dance and Pamela Anderson, the seven-minute film was shot entirely on the phone's 720p camera. For the Spanish promotion of the phone they also created a short video featuring luminescent puppets, called "[http://www.techfashy.com/2014/11/nokia-launches-their-first-android_18.html Love Knot]".{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}
The phone was also used to film Drums of Death's "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFTzzcCrOyY Won't Be Long]" music video.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}
Using CellScope technology, Nokia also released another film called "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD7eagLl5c4 Dot]" which they marketed to as the world's smallest stop-motion animation character.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}}
