Mobile - New Nokia N8 Smart Phone

This seems like a cool, slick new phone.

The camera on it is awesome, it has 12 Megapixels.

It has a game that can be controled by just tilting the phone (using motion sensors, accelerometers, etc)

I am surprised to say that, at least for the past couple of days, I have been having more fun with it than with any of my other iphones, android phones or blackberries.

Let's see if it can continue to surprise and impress.

I'll uplaod a picture whe I get a chance.
