Hello Gadgety faithful – fancy a hands-on review of Nokias N8?  Read on my friends.

The N8 appeared in stores in October 2010 and the Symbian^3 phone is quite a looker as well as being loaded with goodies.

The anodised scratch-proof paint covered aluminium chassis feels good to hold but it’s not going to win any slimmer of the year titles though with vital statistics of 113.5 x 59 x 12.9 mm – thanks mainly to its 12MP camera.  You can’t remove the battery or get in the case without special ninja tools so Nokia has put two hinged flaps on the side of the N8 so you can get to the microSD card slot and the SIM card port.  Internal memory is 16GB worth but that hot-swappable microSD card slot can handle up to 32GB of extra space.
