Will also be available from other sources of course. I was expecting it to be dearer than this.

You can't go in for another phone this week.

Simon · Jun 16, 2010, 12:29:56

No, but you know what to get me for Christmas!

Rik · Jun 16, 2010, 12:32:22

You should have a later birthday, Xmas is so long to go.

It'll give time for the reviews to propagate.

Glenn · Jun 16, 2010, 12:44:43

The N9 will be available by then

Here is the first review I have seen http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/14/nokia_n8_hands_on/

Rik · Jun 16, 2010, 18:59:33

Looks half promising, doesn't it.

Simon · Jun 16, 2010, 19:35:59

With an OS upgrade, yes.

Rik · Jun 16, 2010, 19:41:15

Never satisfied.

It looks great, but Symbian used to be like data mining to get to each app via a pass the parcel folder system, hope that's changed. I'll see what the real world reviews are like as Justina will need a new phone by then, but sensibly she always just goes for phones that are phones

Be aware this phone says unlocked so they may have broken open the box to unlock it.

That's not always the case. Some phones are OEM, I believe, so they wouldn't have been locked in the first place.

I'll be waiting for some reviews before considering this. I seem to be getting on quite nicely with my HTC HD2 at the moment, and there's also a BlackBerry OS update imminent. Choices, choices...
