The Nokia N8, Finnish mobile giant Nokia's high end smartphone, has attracted a lot of interest since its release last year. The phone boasts the best version of Symbian yet with a more interactive interface and a better browser than any other Nokia smartphone yet.

What sets the phone apart from the competition though is its camera. The Nokia N8 has probably the best camera on any phone on the market currently, it boasts 12 megapixels, has the biggest image sensor out of all its rivals and, with f/2.8 aperture and 5.9mm focal length, it is a camera that beats many of the cheap digital cams on the high street.

This domination in terms of camera phones has not gone unnoticed and it has been revealed that photographer Jason Hawkes will use the N8 to undertake his new aerial photography project.

Hawkes has in the past photographed countries such as Norway, Colombia, Morocco and the USA from the sky and his latest task is to take photos of Great Britain using a phone, the N8. Hawkes spoke of the use of having a good camera with him all the time on his phone, praising the Nokia N8 for its ease of use.

Hawkes said "My main attraction to this project was they say that the best camera you have is the one you have on you. I don't always have my camera equipment with me but I always have my mobile and the N8 has a 12-megapixel camera with truly amazing image quality.
By its very definition, aerial photography is very difficult to do, so we're pushing the limits of this camera as far as we can go."

John Nichols, of Nokia UK, added: "HD Horizons is the most exciting challenge yet for the Nokia N8, but we are always looking for new ways to push its capabilities."

I wasn't pleased to hear that Skype does not have video call support for Nokia N8. It messed up the day because I was really hoping to have video calls with my friends on this amazing gadget. It seems that the Skype video-calling for Symbian is still under construction, so we need to use an alternative. There are many free apps out there that allows video call function, but FRING is the best. Along with video calling, it allows you to connect to your other chat platforms: MSN Messenger®, GoogleTalk™, AIM®, ICQ® , Facebook® & Twitter.

Fring (www.fring.com) is the groundbreaking mobile communication service that gives users internet-rich communication from their mobile phones. fring members make FREE video calls, voice calls, live chat to other fringsters and to friends on other social networks.

Fring leverages the mobile phone's internet connection to create these communication experiences. fring is available on all major Smartphones, on any mobile operator, and any mobile internet connection (3G/4G, Wi-Fi, GPRS, EDGE).

SymTorrent is a cool BitTorrent client for Nokia N8. You can download multiple torrents with this software and you can pause or resume the downloads. Torrents can be started from the internet browser. Remember this is free and it's open source, so please support the developers on their website.

ps. It seems that this torrent software can be found only at the link above, because OVI Store has removed it from its database due to some music copyright infringement.

Just in case you missed it...

On my old N82 I used QReader, but that does not work so good on my N8. That's why I searched for an alternative.

If you are not pleased with the original Nokia N8 home screen, there are many apps that will change it for you. I love Voyager Home Screen because it allows me to customize my home screen with amazing clocks, start menus, weather and news, smart dialing, google, events and many more features. This N8 app also features multiple screens (just like Android) for me to change, and the transition is very smooth compared to the Nokia N8's original.

Voyager Home Screen (vHome) is the most powerful desktop UI on Nokia phones.Give you HTC Sense and iPhone style UI on S60 , and totally free! Powerful home screen features include: 1) Beautiful big retro clock or analog clock 2) News feeds and weathe 3) Put all your apps into neat pages to flick through ,like iPhone 4) one click on/off widgets: bluetooth, silent profile,phone lock. 5) send twits from home screen

You can use multiple free chat software when talking to your friends, but it seems that only a few are worth installing. So, here are the ones that got into my list:


1. NimBuzz - Free Calls, Chat, Messaging and more on your Nokia N8. Nimbuzz is the first in my list because it has a better interface and allows me to send pics more facile on Yahoo Messenger. Also features Facebook chat.



2. Fring - You can connect multiple chat clients. It's not that great when it comes to the interface, but it's the only software that let me make a video call. It uses it's one video call server.


3. Skype - You know what Skype is all about. What you don't know is that it does not have support for video calling on Symbian platform. That means you can only make audio calls on your Nokia N8. Maybe they will do something about this in the future, but for now, it's on the 3rd place in my list.

Nokia N8 is not the fastest smartphone on the market, but you can use some tips and tricks I'm using in order to boost it.

1. Don't use wallpapers on home screens.
2. When not using wifi, disable wifi search.
3. Disable/uninstall programs that autostart. You can do that using M-Guard
4. Disable programs that run in background. That will slow down your N8 and it will drain your battery.
5. Clear the browser cache memory
6. Update your firmware. Nokia always improve their OS from time to time.
7. For faster Homescreen response times, disable Themes Effects
Go to the MENU - SETTINGS - THEMES - GENERAL
Click below on OPTIONS - THEME EFFECTS and select OFF)
