As part of its drive to keep CGC-Nokia personnel up-to-date on upcoming mobile phones and accessories, Consolidated Gulf Co. (CGC) hosted specialized training on much-awaited Nokia N8 at its new corporate office training center in Doha recently. About 175 sales and service personnel from CGC retail, channel, corporate, Nokia Care and call center divisions as well as dealer salespersons took part in the three-day long training conducted by a master trainer from Nokia Academy. The training focused on the hi-tech features, functionalities and unique selling points of the top-of-the-class Nokia N8.

The coming-soon smart-phone N8 is among Nokia’s best handsets. Its salient features include 12-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and a large sensor that rivals those found in compact digital cameras. It has 3.5-inch capacitive touch screen, 3 customizable home screens, free navigation and 16 GB internal memory which can be expanded to 48 GB. The phone enables access to Web TV services and comes with a mini-HDMI port which means its user can watch pictures and movies directly on a TV.

The highlight of the training was a detailed presentation involving physical and practical demonstration. The participants were also presented with certificate for successfully completing training on Nokia N8.

when is N8 coming?

will it be as quick-responsive as the Samsung galaxy-S or apple iPhone4, as the processor speed is only some 680MHz?

I think the phone will be released next month. but no info on the price. I hope someone will enlighten us!

I had decided to go get the Samsung GalaxyS, but I think I'll wait a bit and check the N8 as well.

Hoping it'll be here soon, at a competitive price!
