Nokia N8 to go on sale at the end of September

While we have word that the Nokia N8 will debut at the Nokia World expo, here are even more hard dates to get excited, as the Finnish cellphone manufacturer will be selling the device for the last week of September before it arrives at third parties and networks from October onwards in the UK, at least. Currently, vendors who will carry the Nokia N8 include Carphone Warehouse, O2, Orange, Phones4u, T-Mobile, Tesco Phone Shops, Three Mobile, Virgin Mobile and Vodafone. Expect the Nokia N8 to retail for £429 SIM-free on the Nokia Online Shop, or £35 monthly with a contract. Will this be a huge hit, or could it fail to arrest the slide of Nokia’s market share in the smartphone segment?
