September 30th, 2010 • • 14 comments

Barely meeting the Q3 deadline, the Nokia N8 starts shipping today. Those who pre-ordered will be the first to get the N8. For proof, Nokia provides photos of N8′s getting packed into DHL trucks. Market availability will vary by country and by operator, with broad availability in the coming weeks.

The Nokia N8 has received the highest amount of consumer pre-orders in Nokia history and we are thrilled to start shipments of the N8, the first of Nokia’s new Symbian smartphone rang

    Hi,

    I live in Finland and I got an SMS text from the Nokia Store saying that my N8 has arrived and I can pick it up.

      I was also at Nokia store for testdrive. Seems like they also had small shipment for sale to people without pre-orders, but those were almost sold out by the time I was there.

      I’d like to know too. I hope some of the Nokia N8s in the photos above are heading to the US

        Saw someone on Howard Forums N8 thread quote a tweet that said they will be shiping in the US right away. Not sure how much truth there is to it.

    Looks like Nokia is again putting USA customers to the bottom of the importance list. No shipment of N8 to USA for people who pre-ordered it.
