WIN: Nokia N8 Pink smartphone worth $639
By on 16 Jun 11Can you remember your first mobile phone? I can. It was a Nokia. And pretty chunky.
I used it to *talk* to people. And people phoned me. To talk. We’d have a conversation that didn’t require a keyboard. Strange but true.
None of this texting or Tweeting malarkey.
But I am what’s known as an early adapter in the geek department. Before long I was SMSing like my thumbs were playing pinball.
Now, I can’t seriously imagine life WITHOUT a smartphone. I started with a Blackberry, swapping to an iPhone4 last year. As a small business operator and blogger, a Smartphone is an essential tool (well that’s what I tell my husband when I’m sitting on the lounge at night Tweeting my way through an episode of Grey’s Anatomy).
So imagine how rapidly my inner geek levels rose when the lovely people at Nokia contacted me to see if I wanted play around with a Nokia N8 smartphone. Did I mention it was pink?
Nokia N8 Pink $634
Yep, that’s right. Pink + geek = love at first sight.
Apart from it’s obvious good looks, does it deliver the goods as a solid “mobile office” alternative?
The short answer? Yes, it does. And, dare I whisper it in the vicinity of my iPhone … possibly more.
Get this … the Pink N8 features a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash and clever social network uploading capabilities. That’s some serious camera power in a phone. You can also edit photos and videos on the device, share them with friends and family instantly and upload them to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter straight from the home screen.
The phone even lets you organise your social life simply by syncing calendar events from Facebook to the Nokia N8 calendar.
So, what about apps? The Nokia equivalent of Apple’s App Store is Ovi Store. It works the same way – there are free apps and paid ones. Yes, the kids can still play Angry Birds while you’re buying five minutes extra to drink your coffee in peace. And yes, I can blog straight from my phone with the WordPress app. There’s no Instagram but I’m loving the look of Pocketbooth and Colorizit in the photo app department.
Now, to get to the REALLY exciting bit. Yep, that’s right Nokia and Styling You has a N8 Pink to give away to one lucky reader.
How good does the Nokia N8 Pink look?

My friend texted me to say “Hi Tammerly, this is a text message” and I was soooo excited!
It’s amazing how we take it for granted now.
Nevertheless, I’ve decided it’s high time for me to forge ahead and become more tech-savvy… bring on the Nokia N8, I say!
all it does is text messages i would really like to win so i can finally replace and retire it to a museum HAHAH
I got my first smart phone last year and it revolutionised my life! Its not as smart as some though and that’s why I’d really like to win the fabulous Nokia N8. Oh and its PINK! Too cute!
