Why Nokia isn't shouting about this flexibility – as you can be certain Apple, HTC or any other company would be in the same situation – is a mystery. It's a rare chipset, and it means the same N8 handset is comfortable not only on European 3G networks but on both AT&T and T-Mobile in the US. Nokia has impressively selected a five-band WCDMA radio for the N8, meaning not only does the smartphone support quadband GSM/EDGE but 3G networks on the 850/900/1700/1900/2100 bands. Above the microUSB are the SIM and microSD card slots, each covered with a separate flap the N8 will take up to a 32GB card, augmenting its standard 16GB of internal storage. Alternatively, the microUSB port will work for synchronizing the N8 with your computer, or – using the included adapter – act as a USB On-the-Go port for plugging in an external hard-drive or other peripherals. The company supplies an AC adapter to suit, but you can also use a microUSB charger with the port on the lower left-hand side. Underneath is a single button – which opens the main menu or takes you back to the homescreen – while on the bottom is a standard 2mm Nokia charging connector. The nHD resolution is one of our few hardware complaints, and while we understand it preserves compatibility with the back-catalog of Ovi Store apps, when rivals are using WVGA and higher panels (the iPhone 4's Retina Display packs 960 x 640 pixels into the same size panel, remember) the N8 does feel a little left behind. Up front is a 3.5-inch 640 x 360 OLED capacitive touchscreen, which is bright and vivid with great colors and suitably inky blacks.
