The Nokia N8 release date has been a source of debate for months now. We’ve known that the Symbian ^3 smartie is set to drop in Q3 but now a British retailer has slung up a date and price for the Nokia N8. Will it really arrive SIM-free on August 26? And if it does, will you snap it up?

With its 3.5in AMOLED touchscreen, the aforementioned Symbian ^3 OS and a 12MP camera with HD video skills, the Nokia N8 is supposed to be the phone that restores the firm’s fortunes.

The phone sellers at MobileFun have slung up a pre-order page, pricing the Nokia N8 at £419.95 and promising it’ll be in stock on August 26.

There’s still been no official word from the Finns on when the Nokia N8 will arrive but most estimates have pegged its release date before Nokia World 2010 kicks off. That’s taking place in the second week of September, so an August 26 arrival would be pretty timely.

    Their are so many sites stating mobile fun has got 26th Aug as release date for Nokia N8. I do not understand where these stories coming from, I just checked mobile fun website their is no mention of any release date or in stock date or any price. It still shows all these as TBC.

      The German Nokia site has the phone for 479€ and they did have a August 24th date for about half a day before the date was taken down(or thats what I've read.), but the phones still there for pre-order.
      So a 26th Aug release date doesn't seem so outlandish.

    The release date on play.com has now been changed to 8th October. They had previously written 30th August!

      Yup, thanks Mo, we've run a news story reporting this since then. We hope Nokia can pull its act together and get it out quicker than that!
