Tweet

Speculation is mounting that Vodafone could be the first UK network to carry Nokia’s first Symbian^3 smartphone thanks to Vodafone having now listed the Nokia N8 as ‘coming soon’ – you can catch up with all our Nokia N8 coverage here, incidentally – though, as yet, there’s no official word concerning any specific dates of availability.

For those yet to become acquainted with the Nokia N8, the device, which sports a 360 x 640 resolution 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen display, 16GB of integrated memory, HSPA, Wi-Fi, A-GPS and a 12 megapixel camera with Xenon flash which boasts Carl Zeiss optics and 720p HD video recording functionality. Of course you can also factor in blisteringly fast performance – a factor that’s been underpinned by a new report that bills the N8 as offering a 180% performance hike in comparison to the N97.

• Size: 113.5mm x 59mm x 12.9mm
• Weight (with battery): 135g

As noted, Vodafone’s listing does not offer any dates of release of the N8 to their network, nor does it offer any indication as to the Vodafone N8’s pricing – though it’s expected that the N8 will be offered for ‘free’ on plans of £30+ per month.

We’ll naturally offer you a heads up the moment Vodafone confirm a release date and pricing plans.
