Nokia N8 Make My App competition

Nokia N8 sneak peek

In this final  video Max Vlassenko, hand freestyler (great job title), gets hands on with the Nokia N8. It's a good opportunity to take a closer look at design, a slim line monoblock touch form factor wrapped in metal and glass, and the hand dexterity is OK too.
