people, places and services that matter most. The Nokia N8 enables people to create
compelling content, connect to their favourite social networks and enjoy the latest on-
demand Web TV programs and Ovi Store apps.

that rivals those found in compact digital cameras. People can also record HD-quality videos and edit
them with an intuitive built-in editing suite.

on the homescreen.
People can update their status, share location and photos, and view live feeds from Facebook and Twitter
in a single app directly on the home screen. Calendar events from social networks can also be
synchronized to the device calendar.

can be easily transferred to a memory stick with the USB On-the-Go.
With this announcement, Nokia is offering developers a new platform to innovate on. The Nokia N8
comes integrated with Qt, a software development environment that simplifies the development and
makes it possible to build applications once and deploy across Symbian and other software platforms.
Nokia has also made the simple to use Nokia Qt SDK available, in its initial beta, to enable developers to
start realizing the potential of Qt.
The Nokia N8 will be available in select markets during the third quarter of 2010.
The Nokia N8 marks the global device debut of the new Symbian^3 software, featuring several major
advancements:

support for gestures such as “pinch-to-zoom.”
• Three personalizable homescreens on the Nokia N8, easily maneuvered through by a simple
flick.
• Faster and more responsive user interface with new 2D and 3D graphics architecture that
