Having delivered sterling service over Christmas and New Year for my own family, I was interested to see Daniel Wexler's similar account of his holiday adventures with the Nokia N8. As for me, the pre-loaded Ovi Maps Navigation and camera and camcorder were the stars. Embedded below is one of his edited video mashups from the N8's output, see Daniel's blog for more videos and some sample photos. Also below is a typical photo from a sunset walk I did on Christmas day in the UK snow - again, it had to be N8 for me.

Below, from me, this was just an ad-hoc photo I snapped with the N8 on Christmas Day, with no preparation whatsoever - I don't think I even stopped to wipe the camera glass. I just stopped walking, snapped and moved on. At the risk of becoming an N8 bore - if you attach ANY importance to the photos you take with your phone then the Nokia N8 has to be a serious contender....
