Nokia N8 Music and Video Playback

on June 16, 2010 – 2:23 am4 Comments

We had the chance to check out the Nokia N8 at Nokia Connection 2010 and we must say the phone feels great to grip. Finally full metal on a N-series device. The large screen (not as large as the HTC EVO 4G) but pretty good for a Nokia. Music playback is pretty loud considering there is only one speaker on the rear below the camera. The Cover flow animations are pretty cool but looks to have been inspired by Apple.Here is a couple of videos showing the multimedia features of the N8

Music playback and Coverflow

The music player supports following formats : MP3,AAC,eAAC,eAAC+,WMA,AMR-WB, DRM

HD Video playback

The N8 supports H.264, MPEG-4, VC-1, H.263, Real Video 10, ON2 VP6, Flash video

We wish Nokia put a kick stand on the back of the N8.!  But we are sure you can use the one which came with the 5800 !

We had the chance to watch the N8 connected to a HDTV via HDMI and it was impressive , sadly we could not grab a video.

We heard a price of 370 euros (excluding tax) for the N8 and it seems pretty interesting as that would make the handset fall in the 20-22K price range. Come on Nokia start shipping the N8s soon !

    music player seems lot like the ipod touch n the iPhone….
    but when pressed play that old nokia feel……
    s^3 ui seems lot like in android n iphone…. but the worst part about symbian is if u want an upgrade u then buy a new phone not the latest software whereas in android there is a possiblity that u will get the upgrade sooner or later or can always root to get the upgrade…. where as in apple your phone will last 2-3 years atleast….

    symbian and the ovi app store sucks to the core , thats my opinion, i have no problem with the phone and the features it offers, but this being a smartphone n trying to compete with the likes of iphone or the galaxy s , it is far far behind in terms of attractiveness, feel good factor and the apps dat one enjoys with apple or android markets. nokia probably is the best when it comes to music and being simple, dier phones alwaz leaves the user wanting do to much more dan jus texting, calling n listening to music …. n dats where the ovi n symbian mixtures just puts an end to the phone. most smart phone users have moved on to apple and android to fill in those holes, n i think nokia too should move own and have a different view to what people really want in their phone, coz we aint the people nokia surveyed when they 1st bought the classic 6600.
