Nokia N8 with Symbian 3: Symbiotic relationship

Nokia hopes to clear the cobwebs that have been gathering on its smart phones with the Nokia N8, the first phone to run Symbian 3

Symbian 3 polishes up the OS that was so smart on the Nokia N95, but soon felt out of date on the Nokia N97, adding more intuitive touchscreen gestures that iPhone users already know and love -- multi-touch support, flick scrolling and pinch to zoom. We're also thrilled to hear it streamlines the notoriously complex menu structure and cuts the number of prompts.

But don't get too excited, because this isn't a full-scale Star Trek-style reboot of the venerable OS, just a Terminator Salvation-esque revisiting.

The N8 will drop in the UK this autumn for around €370 (£320) SIM-free.
