Eldar Murtazin Gets His Hands On the Nokia N8 Running Symbian^3, Full Spec Sheet Leaks

It looks like Mobile-Review's Eldar Murtazin has just got his hands on the upcoming Nokia N8 running on Symbian^3. Confirmed specs are as follows: a 12.1MP camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and a flash, it's capable or recording 720p HD video, an HDMI output (not standard size), a glass multitouch display that feels like the Nokia X6, and it's fast - until you load the handset with a bunch of apps. Eldar, unfortunately, mentioned that the new OS is unimpressive and it feels like the old S60 - and that's what it looks like to be honest. Check out what he had to say in the quote below.

“…they’ve made cosmetic improvements, that users should like.  And users do not like them. I get a feeling that Nokia is living in some wonderland, where people are buying it’s products in droves. But this is not the case. And as a flagship product, Nokia N8 looks not just bleak, but as something incomprehensible. With the help of advertising, they will get people’s attention, start selling and will sell quite a few of them. Just to scare more people away from Nokia brand. A feeling is that there are some competitor moles working at Nokia, sabotaging the work. Purposefully destroying Nokia brand step by step. I can not find any other explanation for current events…”
