September 30 was the was the first day of the Nokia N8 to leave the jail from factories at Finland and China, and some lucky Nokia fans even received their new, highly praised phone the following next day. A handful of reviews, videos and photos began to fill the World Wide Web, with everybody keen to show off their new handset. Join me now, Ahmed Chhaya,  as I focus my attention on what’s being said about the Nokia N8 across the globe.

Digital Camera magazine presented the Nokia N8 the top prize in its camera phone group test in their latest issue. It excels four other smart phones and is tested alongside a Canon compact camera. This is some of what What Digital Camera had to say:

“The N8 is way beyond previous mobile phones, and is nearly a match for a compact camera”

Digital Camera also said:

“Images taken with the N8 more than stand up to scrutiny and would be more than adequate for most casual photographers”

Indeed worth of professional photography!!!

It’s only been a 7 days since the release of the Nokia N8 into the jungle, and most of the customers are talking about the camera capabilities of this new device. GSMArena did a proper job on this, comparing the Nokia N8 camera with two camera’s.

GSMArena: “We’re putting the Nokia N8 against both a capable cameraphone (the Samsung Pixon12) and a relatively expensive point-and-shoot digicam (the Sony DSC-HX5v Cyber-shot). And best of all, we’ll start with a blind test”

They are not the only ones!

TheHandheldBlog puts the camera through extreme conditions! Read below for more.

TheHandheldBlog: “When you buy the N8, not only do you buy a great digital camera but also a very handy camcorder. No dedicated pocket digital camera (sub $200) that I have used came close to offering quality similar to the N8?s, specially when it comes to audio capture”.

FoneArena have already swiped their fingers across the touchscreen and their response is really great considering the amount of work put into this device.

FoneArena: “The Nokia N8 Is Perfect, There, I Said It”.

“Nokia still has the lead in multimedia, especially in imaging. Every other smartphone manufacturer is months if not a year or more away from offering anything similar. And still when they do, it won’t be packed in one single device like on the N8.”

A handful of blogs and other websites compare the Nokia N8 with other devices, from the top to the bottom. However, Matthew Miller at ZDNet offers very little comparison and reviews the device for what it is. A Nokia N8:

ZDNet: ” To give you a sense of my take on the device and what you can expect below, let me state that the N8 is clearly the best Nokia Nseries device ever made and is the Nseries device that Nokia and Symbian users both deserve and will appreciate”.
