The Nokia N8 has been officially released in India, and will be on shelves starting with Nokia Priority Stores, from tomorrow, October 13th. Priced at Rs. 26,259, the Nokia N8 represents the Finnish phone maker’s top smartphone model, and paves the way for the got-a-lot-to-prove Symbian^3 platform.
If you are dying to get yourself an N8, and just can’t rustle up the bank notes, then take heart in knowing that Nokia is providing an easy- EMI scheme that will get you a Nokia N8 with three equal monthly instalments, and zero percent interest.

Not only will the N8 have access to a majority of older apps from the Ovi Store, it will support the Nokia-developed and critically-acclaimed Qt framework. This will surely see a large number of developers making apps for Symbian, and, give them the flexibility of programming for the numerous other platforms that are supported by the Qt framework.
