The Nokia N8 started shipping and we were lucky to get our hands-on the final sales package right away. Check out the unboxing and a couple of first impressions after initial usage. We received the orange one which actually looks pretty good! Watch the video after the jump.

You probably know by now that there’s an upcoming short film called, ‘The Commuter‘ shot on the Nokia N8. It will feature Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl), Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) and Pamela Anderson (Baywatch). Nokia UK just posted a behind-the-scenes video and you can see a very cool steadicam system hooked up to the N8. Check it out.

DeviceVM uploaded a video on Youtube showing a demo of the Meego touch framework and Handset UI running on a TI OMAP 4, the newest in the line of processors. The video of the framework does not include the fancy graphics or transitions yet, so don’t get too excited. Watch the video.

The Commuter, a short film directed by the McHenry Brothers shot entirely on the Nokia N8 started filming over the weekend. Dev Patel, the star from Slumdog Millionaire and the recent The Last Airbender, joined cast members Ed Westwick and Pamela Anderson. Take a look at some of the photos behind the scenes.

Former Nokia employees told the New York Times in an article published over the weekend that Nokia’s early success caused their failure to respond to the iPhone. They said Nokia became complacent and didn’t know what consumers wanted. A spokesperson for Nokia noted that these former employees were, “managers with individual roles or leaders of small teams,” but I find their opinions worth reading.
