Shiny Hands-On: new Nokia N8 - the hardware

We glimpsed a prototype of Nokia's N8 today. The flagship smartphone takes over from the n900 as the latest in the N-series range and will hit the UK in September.
We take a look at the hardware in the N8 including the uber specced camera, and just why the colour doesn't scrape off. Are you convinced by the need for the bump on the back?

are you kidding me, you didn't seriously say "the front facing camera, which like Apple’s FaceTime let’s you make video calls". do you not realise that Nokia phones have had REAL video calling since 2005!!! and since then many other manufacturers have also made devices that can do real video calling which is over the Mobile Network, not just over wifi. also for free (wifi) video calls, for years, many phones have done this via third party apps like skype, fring, etc..get your facts right!
