With the advent of DAB radio it's a pity this handset still has an FM transmitter built-in. Although to give credit where credit is due, no built-in radio is present on the iPhones without downloading an App for that.

As for buying this handset, the Nokia N8 is for sale on contract with Three Mobile from £35 per month or can be bought for £429 SIM free on Amazon. With the outstanding features on offer, it is definitely a good buy for a gadget-conscious individual.
