The Nokia N8 is already available for preorder at a number of online retailers and the Finnish company has confirmed that the handset is started to ship from mainland China to customers.
The handset, the first to come with the Symbian^3 operating system, is the current top dog at Nokia and will compete with the X6, the N97 and the E7 when it is finally launched.
However, we would still stick to an old favourite, the Nokia N900, should be have to choose between the two Nokia handsets, for at least five good reasons.
The N900 comes with 32GB onboard memory and another 32GB can be added thanks to a microSD card while the N8 only comes with 16GB.
While both smartphones have a 3.5-inch screen, the N900 has a much higher resolution, 800x480 pixels, compared to 640x360 pixels for the N8.
Both have 256MB RAM but the N900 can boost it up to 1GB thanks to virtual memory; doing so ensures a smoother mobile experience.
