Nokia has cut the cost of its handsets, including its flagship phone the N8 and recently released business-centric device the E6.
The price cuts will be biggest – up to 15% – for the high-end smartphones Nokia N8, C7 and E6, with other phones set for smaller price cuts.
By way of a quick reminder of these three Nokia devices, the N8, which was recently launched in a pink version, is renowned for its high-end snapper: a 12-megapixel camera w...

Nokia N8 deals on contract
After sulking in the doldrums with uninteresting outdated Symbian smartphones that are simply feeble copycats of the latest Samsung and Sony Ericsson smartphones in the large screen touchscreen formats, Finnish mobile phone leader Nokia finally gets its act right with a superb touchscreen smartphone.
It runs on the new Symbian^3 OS and gives it bragging rights among the few 12-megapixel cameras with true HD video recording capabilities that are now considered minimum standards for a flagship smartphone.
It’s still far from the camera features of a Samsung W880 nor does it have the 4-inch AMOLED display of the Samsung I900 Galaxy S, as it is doubtful Nokia can ever match, let alone surpass, the flagships that the Korean mobile phone maverick brings to market.
But with a superb list of features second to none among Nokia smartphones, its €370 SIM-free price makes it a good value, not to mention that fact that its anodized aluminum body comes in a choice of body colors of white, blue, green, orange, silver and dark grey.

Its new Symbian^3 runs on an ARM11 processor running at 680 MHz with 3D graphics accelerator. Nokia matches its HD video recording prowess with the right memory storage capacity from its generous 16 GB onboard memory with 256 MB Ram and 512 MB ROM for its system files. On top of that, the N8 is one of the few smartphones out there that can support 48 GB external memory expandability from its microSD slot.
Superlative Nokia Features
The N8 can very well claim Nokia flagship status. It has the right ingredients that not only push the envelop for Nokia flagship phones, but Nokia can reclaim some of the limelight it has lost to its oriental competitors.
For starters, its Wide-VGA 3.5-inch display may not be top honcho in the world of high end touchscreen displays, but it has the brilliant AMOLED display technology and the capacitive touchscreen with multitouch data input capability that finally bring Nokia in the same footing as the landmark iPhone in the display department.
Here is where its latest Symbian^3 does what its handsets should have done to match the iPhone earlier. It has gesture-control and pinch-to-zoom that the iPhone already had 2 years back. With a scratch resistant surface, it gets the usual gravity accelerometer for UI auto rotate and a proximity sensor for auto-disablement of the superb touchscreen sensitivity when in a call.
Where the N8 stands out is its imaging prowess. With 12 megapixels of resolution and Xenon flash using the oft-advertised Carl Zeiss optics that does little to enhance its imaging prowess above other excellent camera phones, its autofocus digicam is tops while getting the face/smile and geo-tagging features expected in a camera phone these days.
Its video capture is second to none with a true 1280 x 720 high definition resolution at 25fps with LED video light. It also comes with a secondary VGA video call camera.
Capturing video in HD may already look great on a 3.5-inch display but nothing beats watching it on a 42-inch plasma or LCD HD TV and the N8 obliges with its HDMI connectivity support.
Mobile entertainment is provided with the usual FM stereo radio with RDS and media players for popular audio and video files. What stands out is its Dolby Digital plus audio support but only when streaming via HDMI. Stereo listening can be wired via its 3.5mm audio jack or wireless using its Bluetooth A2DP support.
Superb Standard Features
The N8 is your 3G phone on a quad band UMTS with HSDPA at 10.2 Mbps and HSUPA at 2 Mbps and is also a quad band GSM with class 32 GPRS/EDGE data speeds of up to 296 Kbps making its online experience on either 2G or 3G a real pleasure.

I still remember my very first camera phone. It was a Sagem something or other (that wasn’t its actual name) and it boasted a state of the art 2MP snapper. I’m kidding of course, the camera on that phone was never ‘state of the art’ but the novelty at the time was unreal. Fast forward 7 years (where the hell did all that time go) and we’re all being spoilt rotten by the HD snappers built into our touchscreen handsets. In fact, some ...
