Nokia released its new smartphone just recently, which is claimed to be the answer to its arch rivals like Apple and Google’s smartphone. Since the dawn of the iPhone, Nokia’s key revolution into the mobile market has now been dominated by smartphones that have been largely dominated by Apple. Google through the acquisition of Android a year ago launched a series of its Nexus smartphones, in order to capitalize into the growing smartphone devices. It has to be admitted that Nokia has taken a bit too long for it to release its share of the smartphone market. Maybe Nokia has had a different marketing strategy altogether, however it has not gained much in terms of the falling revenue and market share.

The Nokia N8 is going to provide much reprieve for Nokia fans as they have a new   gadget to relish their thoughts upon. Besides just releasing a new smartphone, Nokia N8 has introduced a lot of apps in the new smartphone.
