Blue Colour Variant of Nokia N8 Funks Up the N8 Range

A new blue colour variant of the Nokia N8 is set to join the range of colour schemes available for this latest Nokia phone which also includes the N8 silver, green, black and orange editions.The Nokia N8 Blue is finished in a funky and vibrant blue housing and offers the new N8 unique design aspects including the tapered top and bottom elements of the phone.Billed as one of the most eagerly anticipated launches from Nokia to date, the N8 offers some great new technology alongside some exciting features not currently available on the market.The first of these is the inclusion of a 12 mega pixel camera, now phones with this resolution of lens are available at present but the Nokia N8 incorporates a massive 28mm lens and the much acclaimed Carl Zies optics for picture perfect imaging.The camera is also able to capture HD quality video clips at 720p resolution, which is not a marjet first but the N8 is the first ever mobile phone to offer an HDMI port! This mean that you can play back your recorded HD movies on an HD TV in front of family and friends.The Blue Nokia N8 also offers a 3.5 inch OLED touch screen display which makes for clear and crisp images along with multi touch technology, there is also WiFi and bluetooth for wireless connections, GPS for route finding and geo tagging, HSDPA for fast download speeds and 3.5G support for quick internet browsing.Other features include a comprehensive multimedia player with a 3.5mm audio jack for using your own headphones and an expandable memory with 16GB of internal storage space.The Nokia N8 finds competition from rival handsets such as the HTC Desire, Sony Ericsson Vivaz and new iPhone 4G (HD), but has a further ace up its sleeve - it is cheaper to buy than all of the competing models!The HTC Desire is the most advanced from the manufacturer with a 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen but only offers a 5 mega pixel camera, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz further improves with an 8 mega pixel camera and similar HD support whilst the new Apple iPhone 4 HD 4G (name still not confirmed) offers the same 720p HD video support but no confirmed resolution for its camera and will demand a far higher price tag.The Nokia N8 Blue edition is set to launch in early September as a SIM Free phone that is unlocked to all network operators, the networks themselves are still fighting over exclusive rights to launch the individual colour schemes with Orange no doubt gunning for the black edition having just released their HTC Desire Black.
