After it received bashing yesterday, N8's spec sheet has been leaked for full public view
Just a day after the severe bashing it received on the hands of Mobile Review's Eldar Murtazin, new unannounced details regarding Nokia N8 have sprouted up. The phone, which is still quite a few months away from its launch, will no longer remain a novelty if revelations of these kind continue for a few more weeks. We wonder why Nokia isn't even half as secretive as Apple when it comes to its new phones.
Anyway, after the first image leaks and the "review" that followed, it's now time for the entire spec sheet of the phone to be bared in full public view. The spec sheet is now available on an obscure Russian file download site. While it is premature to confirm if this is n authentic document, it looks too good to be a fake and is complete with internal product numbers, the name of a product manager.
Without further delay, let's see what the spec sheet really looks like. Most of the important bits are already known to us. Here we go!

Impressive?! Well certainly. But for a phone that is not expected for the next few months, it runs the risk of being already outdated when launched. Another thing to be noticed is that this document is dated November 2009 and since then, Nokia had enough time to make quite a few hardware changes to the phone to make it more contemporary when launched.
