Like or loath the Nokia N8's styling, there's no debating the quality on offer here. It's constructed almost entirely from anodised aluminium, and is incredibly tough.

The Nokia N8 may have an all new operating system, but like older touchscreen Nokias it's still clunky compared to offerings from Apple and Android. That said, it's a lot faster than older handsets, and there are lots of new apps on offer from the Ovi Store.
