I’ve been a gadget freak for 10 years, but due to financial incapacity, most of the gadgets I liked were beyond my reach. So I settled to affordable touchscreen phones like the Samsung Star Wifi, which is the one I am using right now. Now that I have my job, my fancy to gadgets was heightened. I want to upgrade my phone so I am eye-ing for the Samsung Jet as an option. However, when I heard that Nokia is releasing their first Symbian 3 device – the Nokia N8, I decided to just wait and save up for it because I predict it will cost around P25,000 – P30,000. Problem though is there is no exact date of release in the Philippines. I’ve been browsing the Nokia Philippines website but there was no indication of the release date.
The Nokia N8 has every feature I like for a cellphone – a high-resolution camera with flash (12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash), an enough amount of memory (Internal memory: 16 GB and MicroSD memory card slot, hot swappable, up to 32 GB) for my huge music and movie collection, a good speaker (powered by Dolby Digital), a speedy connectivity (with WLAN IEEE802.11 b/g/n), and other features.
For a complete list of features and specifications, visit the Nokia Philippines website.

same here… i’ve been patiently waiting for this phone.. but according to gsmarena.com this may be available in the last week of august! i want it now!!! hope i can still wait.
I just bought N8 last sat, Nov. 13. It was carefully handled. Unfortunately, after two days the camera phone is already busted. I brought it in a nokia authorized repair center and followed it up after two days, they said it was sent to Makati (main office) for a higher level of repair. Is this what you call worth your hard-earned money? …. definitely NOT from my horrible experience. Imagine the inconvenience it caused me. I transferred all my contacts after I bought my unit and only to know that all files will be deleted. I have more than 500 contacts which I transferred via Bluetooth ( my old unit do not have applications to transfer files). I’m really DISAPPOINTED with this unit and Nokia does not care less to replace my unit. Is this my fault??? My fault is buying a DEFECTIVE unit. What about quality control?? I could have bought IPhone 4 instead. I can’t accept the fact that I’m bringing a two day old nokia unit for repair?? I have nokia units before and they never failed me. Why only now? Why this N8 unit?? The so-called best camera phone ever!!!!!!
