I owned several Nokia phones back in early 2000 such as the Nokia 3330, 8250, and the Nokia 6300 (last one I used). With competitions getting fierce nowadays with Android phones, iPhones, and the recently released Windows Phone 7, Nokia stays committe...

The N8 is housed in a good-looking, anodised aluminium chassis with a scratch-proof coating to protect it from day-to-day damage. Nokia's also done well in crafting a compact chassis, measuring 113.5mm x 59mm x 12.9mm. What's more, at 135g it's also...

Nokia really hasn’t had the term flagship phone properly used in their portfolio from quite some time now. The last ‘flagship’ phone that actually did its job was the N95 8GB. Post that, the N86, N96and even the N97 have all been a major letdown. From...

Anodized aluminum body easily makes this one of Nokia's sleekest designs. Ships with multimedia cables. Does a fantastic job at multimedia playback. Video chatready with a frontfacing VGA camera. MiniHDMI port pumps out video and Dolby Digital Plus audio.
Competitive with the Pros (iPhone, Android, Windows 7), but clearly won't convert the entrenched. Nonremovable battery = two steps back. Symbian^3 OS's lack of polish puts a hurt on quick navigation. Dual card bay (one for memory, one for sim) is a hassle...
