on July 30, 2010 – 7:09 pm39 Comments

Recently, the Nokia N8 has started becoming available for pre-orders in countries such as Italy, German etc. Now we have good news about the launch of the Nokia N8 in India.

We have news that the Nokia N8 will be available in India within 4 weeks. This has been confirmed officially according to a source.

It is said to be launching at a price of 22,000 Indian Rupees which maybe before subsidies and taxes. The colours confirmed are black, green and silver.

The handset is also expected to be made available as pre-order to customers very soon.

We also expect the Nokia N8 to be available in other countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and the Middle East region at around the same time as India.

UPDATE 1 : Nokia India’s official twitter account is hinting about a Early September launch.

UPDATE 2: We spoke to Nokia India and they say it will take longer than 4 weeks to arrive.

Thanks Gaurav

    It will hit the shelves on September 25. Nokia is still working on the final version of software which will flashed into N8 in the mid of august. It will launch in Asian countries with a stylus and with a slicone cover in Russia. Nokia is thinking of revising the price. It will be now priced between 22k to 30k due to the revision in the cost of components. It has also added Divx video format and a software update will be released it october which will have a new browser

    Lot’s of info without any source, and the way in which the updates negate them shows it.

    BTW, the N8 has no Black. It is Dark Grey

  • goutham

    I am waiting for the cell since April…. can someone tell me exact date of Nokia N8 getting launched in India…..

  • PhoneSeeker

    @Imran whats the source of your info. Increment in price will demote the promotion Nokia has given to it!
    And btw why blue isn’t listed for India,our national teams feature in blue jerseys, it should be made available to us!! :(

  • Ram

    I think the hot orange one looks cool.
    Makes better sense in the Indian context!
    Nokia wake up and take notice of majority Indian sensitivity!
    Saffron has always been the color of pennants indigenous to India.

  • goutham

    hooo Nokia N8 finally getting launched on 27 all over the world even in India too…

  • Ram

    Everything is connected to everything. I mean human beings, their actions and consequences.
    Nokia’s new CEO hails from Microsoft — a notorious failure at mobile phones.
    With the departure of Olli Anssi Vanjoki and Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, besides losing its Finnish character will Nokia fade into oblivion too? What with the market pressure from Android and iOS?
    What do you feel?

    I think this phone is going to revive Nokia in the smartphone market. also the 12 mega pixel option is great. This might a game changer.

  • Ram

    I agree with your view.
    This phone has many good things going for it.

    The 12 megapixel sensor is only one of those things.
    Just to recapitulate:

    01. Carl Zeiss optics lens with autofocus, 12 megapixel 1/1.83” sensor size
    02. Xenon flash
    03. 720p HD video recording @ 25 frames per sec.
    04. HDMI video output
    05. DivX/XviD/MP4/H.264/H.263/WMV video player
    06. Flash Lite v4.0
    07. MP3/WMA/WAV/eAAC+ music player
    08. First phone with Dolby digital surround sound, can plug into home-theatre system
    09. Bright energy-efficient 3.5-inch AMOLED screen with 16,777,216 colors, protected by Corning Gorilla glass and capacitive multi-touch sensor, with flick scroll and pinch zoom software
    10. 680 MHz ARM 11 CPU + separate 2D/3D Graphics hardware accelerator chip with OpenVG1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 support
    11. 16GB in built storage expandable upto 48GB via microSD card
    12. FM stereo radio
    13. FM transmitter for car stereo
    14. Bluetooth v3.0m with A2DP
    15. TV out,
    16. 3.5 mm headphone jack,
    17. micro USB v2.0 port
    18. GPS with A-GPS support, Digital Compass and life time free navigation using OVI maps
    19. Proximity sensor for auto turn-off
    20. Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate
    21. Body made of solid aluminum block in variety of body colors

    As a long time fan of Nokia, I wish them very well. Wish they regain their mindshare and value share, vis-à-vis Apple and Google, at the high profit-margin top end of the smartphone market.

  • Amit

    Hi I am Amit, Please let me know when Nokia N8 will be avaialable in delhi.i am also intrested in HTC Legend,Kindly suggest me which one is best.

  • Jijo George

    I had an inclination towards Legend but it doesn’t have a front camera, and nokia made me used to its front cam which i use often in FRING hence N8 was a better option.

  • Ram

    Friends:
    My view is that:

    * Manufacturers should not artificially inflate demand by over-hype, delays and short-supply, followed by premium pricing.

    * New products should flood the retail stores and sustain market acceptance or rejection based on their own merits/demerits.

    * Pre-booking forces customers to commit money based on advertisements, the blogosphere and even market hype which in some cases could be no more than vaporware.

    What do you feel?
    Do you support the pre-booking initiative of phone manufacturers?
    Am I missing something?

  • Amit

    Hi Ram,

    Today i have called to many Nokia dealer for pre-booking and also know the actual price of Nokia N8.The price is approximate 25-26 thousands in all shops in delhi and noida.Please suggest me where we can get the good price of N8.
