Nokia N8 previewed before announcement, shown no love
The Nokia's first Symbian^3 device and next smartphone flagship N8 just got its first short preview. The handset is now confirmed to capture 720p video and 12 megapixel stills, but apparently the new UI wasn't much to the liking of the reviewer.

While there are no samples to prove it, the image quality of the still camera is said to be similar to the Sony Ericsson Satio 12 megapixel shooter. Which combined with the 720p video recording and the HDMI port doesn't sound like too bad a package to us, but apparently the author believes this is the device that might single-handedly take down Nokia.

The user interface improvements also fail to impress and Symbian^3 feels more like evolution rather than a much needed revolution for the platform's touch UI. The Nokia N8 is apparently running fast but once its memory gets filled up it starts to lag.

Those are of course impressions based on an early pre-release sample of the Nokia N8 and we're likely to see improvements before the handset hits the shelves in the second half of the year.
