Updated: Best Nokia N8 deals

Nokia's N8 is a device that offers a rewarding and unique experience that no other smartphone is able to match.

The device is imbued with the finest camera the smartphone market has ever seen, and the 12-megapixel Carl Zeiss optics allow the N8 to truly replace all but the best compact cameras, allowing you to free up some space in your pocket.

The camera benefits from a Xenon flash, autofocus and offers 720P video capture and on top of these world beating optics you're also treated to a secondary VGA camera for video-calling.

Without a solid base the N8 would be nothing more than a quirk though, and thankfully Nokia has given the device enough power and quality to blow that assertion out of the water.

With a 680MHz ARM 11 CPU, Broadcom BCM2727 GPU and 256MB RAM you can be sure the device will run smoothly in all but the most extreme of circumstances, and the Symbian^3 OS in its latest guise, offers a great user experience.

Naturally a smartphone that can capture photographs of that quality demands a decent screen and the 3.5-inch AMOLED display is more than capable of doing your top-quality snaps justice, not to mention making the wonders of the World Wide Web seem more alive and immersive than ever.

The whole package is gathered neatly into a great looking and resilient unibody chassis, which gives the N8 an image capable of matching its smarts.

Overall the N8 is a lot of phone for a snip of a price, and it can now be picked up on one of many great value deals. Check out the best of them below.
