Nokia has just announced what you see above and that's the pink model of the N8. That's not all though. Whenever this one actually launches, which is unknown right now, it'll sport the latest version of Symbian - "Anna".  The handset itself is exactly the way you remember it: a 3.5-inch AMOLED display, 16GB of storage, a microSD card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a 12MP camera, and a 680MHz CPU.

The Nokia N8 is now available to you if you live in Canada. Rogers has just released the Symbian^3-based handset for $79.99 on a 3-year contract, $349.99 on a 2-year contract, $399.99 on a 1-year contract, and $449.99 contract-free. This handset features a 3.5-inch AMOLED display, a microSD card slot, 16GB of internal storage, a 12MP AF camera (Carl Zeiss lens and xenon flash) with 720p HD video recording, Bluetooth 3.0 / WiFi b/g/n support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, aGPS, an FM radio with RDS, a front-facing VGA camera, and a 680MHz CPU. Check it out on Rogers.

BGR is back at it again with their exclusive information. This time it's regarding Rogers' Q4 prices and it basically confirms what handsets are on the way. The BlackBerry Bold 9780 leak is above and it'll be available for $149.99 on a 3-year contract which is fairly standard. Other leaked prices include: the Nokia N8 for $79.99 on a 3-year contract ($449.99 contract-free), the Samsung Focus for $199.99 on a 3-year ($599.99 contract-free - expensive), and the Dell Streak for $149.99 on a 3-year contract ($549.99 contract-free). BGR says that internally the word is that the Galaxy Tab will cost $199.99 on a 3-year contract and $299.99 on a 2-year contract so we'll have to see if that turns out to be true. Lastly, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro will be available to buy with a $10 unlimited data plan if you're interested.

Unfortunately, the release dates for any of these are unknown right now. The Bold 9780 should be launching on November 9th though, which is next Tuesday. Check out the link below for a rest of the [many] pictures that they leaked.

Vodafone UK has just released two handsets that you might be interested in. The 12MP toting Nokia N8 and the HTC Desire HD, which I think is the better of the two. The N8 handset sports the new Symbian^3 OS, which still needs a bit of improvement but it's a great cameraphone if that's what you're interested in. The Desire HD, on the other hand, sports a 4.3-inch WVGA SLCD display, a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 1.5GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, 768MB of RAM, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 2.1 support, an 8MP AF caemra with a dual-LED flash and 720p HD video recording, and Android 2.2 with the new Sense UI.

Rogers may be slacking on the Samsung Captivate but it looks like they'll be releasing a pretty good cameraphone sometime in Q4. It'll be the Nokia N8, which has a hulking 12MP camera on the back. However, besides the camera, the N8 hasn't been getting great reviews. Specs include a 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, a 680MHz CPU, 16GB of internal storage, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card slot, WiFi support, and the outdated Symbian^3. This handset will be available on Rogers in a couple of weeks for somewhere between $300 and $400.

Nokia has finally announced the availability of their N8. This smartphone (running Symbian^3) will be available in the last week of September for £429 unlocked or for free on contract with a £35 monthly fee. If you live in the UK then you'll be able to pick one up starting on October 1st. There's really not much left to tell you because the specs have been played out up to this point. However, if you want to take a look at the spec sheet then check it out on GSM Arena.

[Engadget]

The Nokia N8 is already available in a few places but it looks like Vodafone in the UK will be getting it in the future as well. This smartphone is running the Symbian^3 OS and will be available in both black and green colours, hopefully, sometime next month. The ugly green colour will be exclusively to the carrier, but who wants to get it anyway? It's "Coming Soon" if you're interested.

If you live in the US you can actually now pre-order the Nokia N8 Symbian^3 powered smartphone for $549 (here). This smartphone is one of the best to hit the US sporting a 3.5-inch nHD display, a 12MP AF camera with a flash and 720p HD video recording, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, a 680MHz CPU, and five-band WCDMA 850/900/1700/1900/2100MHz which would work on both AT&T and T-Mobile. In the box you'll find the USB cable, a stereo headset, and an HDMI adapter cable so that you'll be able to output 720p video. You can pre-order this smartphone right now but you'll have to wait until the end of September before it ships.

We've all seen the Samsung Galaxy S but I already know that not everyone wants their devices in black. Thankfully, it looks like Spain will be getting a white model of the smartphone and it'll cost €499 ($657 USD) unlocked. The other handset that will be available in the near future is the Nokia N8 which will sport the same price tag. Both of these smartphones seem a bit expensive but it's a small price to pay if you don't want to pay expensive data fees - but without a data plan then what would be the point for these phones?

If you're interested then you can now pre-order the Nokia N8 smartphone if you live in Italy. It's up on Nokia's official website but it actually won't be shipping until September. The smartphone is powered by Symbian^3 and is up for €469 ($609 USD) if you want to pick one up. It's a bit more expensive than first though but don't forget that the N8 packs a 3.5-inch nHD touchscreen display along with a 12MP camera on the back.

Update: Unwired View has pointed out that a bunch of other European countries can now pre-order the Nokia N8. France can now pre-order it for €459 ($601 USD), Germany for €479 ($627 USD), and even Poland for 1,999 PLN (€502 and $657 USD).

Yesterday we heard that the Samsung Galaxy Apollo would be available on T-Mobile UK this August and now we're hearing that two more handsets are going to be hitting the carrier in the neat future as well. This includes the one you see above, the Sony Ericsson Spiro and the Nokia N8 which is below. The Spiro is the lower-end of the two, sporting a 2.2-inch QVGA display, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth, a microSD card slot, and a 2MP camera. This slider will be available sometime in August. The Nokia N8 is one of the better smartphones out there - hindered by Symbian^3 if that's not your style - and it sports a 12MP camera with a Carl Zeiss lens, a 3.5-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display (360 x 640 resolution), a 3.5mm headphone jack, 16GB of internal storage, 256MB of RAM, 512MB of ROM, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth 3.0 / WiFi b/g/n, and a 680MHz CPU. Sadly, for the N8 you'll have to wait until October which is three months away.

Check them all out on T-Mobile UK's website here - along with the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro and the BlackBerry Pearl 3G (9105).

Although pre-orders for the Nokia N8 will kick off in 40 days (July 7th), a local store employee has mentioned that the handset itself will be available on August 25th - at least in the UK. This morning, there were a bunch of videos showing off the Nokia N8 and Symbian^3 on video, so here's one if you're interested. It's shaping up to be a pretty decent OS, but I still think we'll need to look forward to Symbian^4 to see something even better.

Another handset has just hit the "Coming Soon" page on Vodafone UK (here). This time it's the Nokia N8, which should be making its debut sometime in early July I believe. This handset will be free on select contracts and will be running on Symbian^3.

[Slash Gear]

What you see above - the Nokia N8 - will be running the new Symbian^3 OS, but surprisingly it won't be the first. As Symbian^3 nears full completion an unnamed Asian vendor will actually be launching their own device with this OS on it and it'll reportedly be available before Nokia releases the N8. Right now, we don't know exactly what this device is so we'll just have to wait a little bit.

Lee Williams, the executive director of the Symbian Foundation also mentioned that they're expecting "a very mature Symbian^4" will be ready sometime in Q1 2011.

[Slash Gear]

Nokia has basically told us when you can pre-order their N8 Symbian^3 handset. The pre-orders will kick off in 44 days - around July 7th - and it'll be priced right around the €370 ($462 USD) mark. On Friday, Engadget heard that this handset would be available starting on August 24th, but maybe it'll be a bit sooner than that - like early August.

[Slash Gear]

Thanks to Amazon Germany, you can now pre-order the Symbian^3 based Nokia N8. In case you forgot, this handset is packing quite a spec sheet with its 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a 12MP AF camera with a Carl Zeiss lens, Xenon flash, and 720p HD video recording, a microSD card slot, 16GB of internal storage, an HDMI output, and Symbian^3. You can pre-orders yours here for €469.50 ($587 USD).

Update: According to Engadget, one of their trusted sources have mentioned that Nokia is launching the N8 on August 24th which is quite a long wait.

This isn't exactly the biggest news out there, but it's a slow news day. Apparently, the Nokia N8 will be getting a 32GB model in the future. Of course, yesterday we heard that the N8 will also be getting a slide-out QWERTY model in the future - that will become the N98. As we already know, the N8 will come with only 16GB of internal memory, so this is double the storage - seen in the picture.

It's already been reviewed by Eldar Murtazin of Mobile-Review and Nokia has just made their N8 smartphone official. The full spec sheet for this handset already leaked out, so we know everything already. It's launching in Q3 of this year for €370 ($494 USD) and it'll be running on Symbian^3, which apparently isn't all that great. The highlights of this phone are its 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, an HDMI output, a 12MP AF camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and Xenon flash (and HD video recording), a microSD card slot, 16GB of internal storage, and access to the Ovi Store along with Ovi Maps. Of course, the new OS brings multitouch and keeps the same old multitasking. Look out for it in Q3.

Something quite juicy has just been spotted at the FCC and it's the upcoming Nokia N8. It's sporting T-Mobile USA 3G bands (AWS) so it should work on WIND Mobile in Canada. We already know the full spec sheet for this handset so the FCC really didn't tell us anything new. Check out the FCC filing here.
