A myriad of reviews, videos and photos began to fill the Web, with everybody keen to show off their new toy. Join us now, as we focus our attention on what’s being said about the Nokia N8 across the globe.

UPDATE: We’ve just got word that What Digital Camera magazine have given the Nokia N8 the top prize in its camera phone group test in the latest issue. It trumps four other smart phones and is pitted alongside a Canon compact camera. This is some of what What Digital Camera had to say:

“The N8 is way beyond previous mobile phones, and is nearly a match for a compact camera”

Experts at What Digital Camera also said

“Images taken with the N8 more than stand up to scrutiny and would be more than adequate for most casual photographers”
