Rafe (and Ben Smith) were extremely busy at last week's Nokia N8 hands-on, taking dozens of top quality photos of the first Symbian^3 smartphone in all its OLED aluminium Xenon-equipped glory. In this interactive Nokia N8 gallery, Rafe takes the time to comment on each photo and what it shows. Grab a coffee and settle down to some serious N8 virtual hands-on time.

"The Nokia N8 is Nokia's first Symbian^3 smartphone. It features a 12 megapixel camera (with video HD recording) with a large sensor and superior Carl Zeiss optics. The device's casing is made mainly from anodised aluminium - it is wrapped in a uni-body style. Other notables features include HDMI out (with Dolby surround sound), USB OTG and a penta-band 3G radio. Symbian^3 also offers a variety of performance and usability improvements."
