New Delhi: The wait for Nokia N8 has finally come to an end which has now come with Ovi services in India. Nokia N8 which is the second mobile phone from Nokia to be powered by Symbian^3, facilitates multitasking by allowing users to run multiple mobile apps simultaneously and switch between them easily. Apart from the 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics, 3.5" AMOLED display and seamless 720p HD video output, Nokia is also promoting the N8 as a platform for numerous mobile applications to suit the needs of Indian consumers. N8 will hit the shelves of Indian market on October 13 at a price of 26,259. Nokia N8 users can now edit photos and videos on-screen and choose from multiple ways to share them; transfer large files to an external hard-drive with the new USB-on-the-go through which one can connect to any USB device through a simple cable or upload photos to social networks. Users can even update their status, share location and photos and view live feeds from Facebook and Twitter in a single app directly on the home screen. The Nokia N8 enables access to Web TV services that deliver programs, news and entertainment from international as well as Indian channels. Nokia is providing an easy- EMI scheme that will let users buy a Nokia N8 with three equal monthly installments and zero percent interest. The Nokia C7 is the latest Symbian 3 device which features a 3.5 inch (640X360 pixel resolution) AMOLED display, an 8 megapixel camera and 8GB of storage. It is cheaper than the Nokia N8. However, the C7 is not as sophisticated as N8. Both Nokia N8 and Nokia C7 are an attempt to leverage its thwarting smartphone stand. Some experts have suggested that the Nokia C7's looks possibly give it the edge over the Nokia N8 with some consumers.
