Nokia has given an official date for the Symbian^3 flagship, the N8 for the UK. The phone will be the first of two major Symbian updates, to bring Nokia's smartphone back as a contender. The N8 is available for pre-order and will go on sale at the Nokia Online Shop for £429 SIM free or on-contract from £35 per month. The phone will also hit selected stores on Oct 1st in the UK. Nokia hasn't announced the N8's availability elsewhere, but we'll keep our eyes peeled for updates.
