Nokia today semi-announced the Nokia N8-00 32GB version. The announcement came as an email to some customers, so it wasn’t anything too glamorous.
This is exactly the same as the 16GB version that is currently available, but with obviously 32GB inside. The 32GB is still expandable by a microSD card, so you’ll be able to get 64GB of worth of memory inside this little device!
Nokia today releases software update PR1.1 for the new Symbian devices – the Nokia N8, C7 and C6-01. While the new Symbian software offered great performance and features from launch, the updates will make it even smoother to use.
Most of the updated features are not directly visible to end users, but together, they will enhance the user experience of each Symbian device. Both the quality and the stability of the devices will be further enhanced. In addition to numerous tweaks and fixes, there’s also some new content. More details below.
You’ll be able get the update through Software Update on your device or using Ovi Suite. We’re warned that the update may be quite a large download, especially for Nokia N8 users. So make sure you’re on a free WiFi service when you choose to update or use Ovi Suite to install it.
The standard, non-customised version of the software is available from today. Country (SIM-free) and operator-specific variants will follow soon.
With this mobile application for phones with HDMI output (like the Nokia N8 and Nokia E7), you can turn your phone into a portable media center that you can easily connect to any TV set that supports HDMI. This way, you can show all your good stuff on the big screen of a high-definition TV and play your music through a home theatre system. Whenever the situation calls for it.
Nokia Big Screen brings you the following features:

Can’t wait to get your hands on the Nokia N8? Well, I can’t get you the phone any faster, but I can give you a link where you can find the Nokia N8 User Guide in the mean time! The file is located on Nokia’s own site, so this should be the final version.

Tapani Kaskinen, Senior Comms Manager at Nokia, today confirmed that the Nokia N8 will be available on September 28th. Those of you who have ordered the Nokia N8 directly from Nokia, should receive it on Tuesday, September 28th, 2010.
The Nokia N8 is the first phone to run on Symbian^3. Personally I have to say that I’m pretty impressed about this device, and I think that it will sell quite good. For instance here in Finland, you’ll have to pay 499€ to get this thing, and this is cheaper than what you’d have to pay for a competing device with roughly the same specs.
Earlier today we posted a mini review of the Nokia N8 phone. Now we have something more interesting, which is the full specification sheet of the same phone:
The hardware of this phone seem really interesting!

The first official mentioning of Nokia N8-00 has appeared in a XML-file on Nokia’s site. What the file also confirms, is that it will in fact be Symbian^3 based. There is no word about the rumored 12 megapixel camera. We should know more in a few weeks, when Nokia is rumored to announce this phone.
