As we speak the first consignment of Nokia N8’s are being manufactured for SA. We are sure our latest and much anticipated smartphone will ‘wow’ all of you. This advanced device has some pretty amazing features that enable users to connect, create and be entertained.

As of right now, from today, we are offering our Ringaz readers the chance to be the first in SA to own one of these amazing phones in our N8 giveaway competition. There are 8 x Nokia N8’s to be given away, that’s one Nokia N8 a week for 8 weeks!

This is not one of those tired and dull, long drawn out competitions either, our first competition is running for one week only – from today Monday the 30^th August until Sunday 5^th September and the winner will be announced on Monday next week. You will only receive your phone early October, but you will the first on the list.

Win a Nokia N8

Below is an image the consignment of  numbered boxes from 1 to 1000 and all our readers need to do is choose the correct, or closest to it, numbered box by stating their selection in the comment section of this blog. To be fair to all our readers we are giving one guess only per person. The first person to choose the correct numbered box will be the first in SA to own a new Nokia N8 smartphone!

Not only will the lucky winner receive our latest N8 smartphone but they will also be given a free hour long consultation with one of our Nokia butlers to show them the incredible features of the phone and also how to link it to their personal computers.

More about the Nokia N8

One of this phone’s most remarkable characteristics is that it is also the debut device on the new Symbian^3 platform.

Looking at some of the comments already made about this cutting edge handset, reviewers have found that the Symbian ^3 platform is the perfect fit to power the many demands on the device – and when paired with Nokia’s fresh, new UI, Nokia N8 users will discover that the device fits their mobile lifestyle like none other, supporting on-the-go activities ranging from social networking to visual multitasking.

And there’s much more going on above the platform – the Nokia N8 brings leading imaging capabilities with a 12MP Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, High Definition (HD) viewing and sharing with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound and a Web TV application delivering TV programs, news and entertainment.
The N8 weighs a light and portable 135 grams and has 16 GB of memory. It also comes loaded with our FREE Ovi Maps walk and drive voice-guided navigation, Nokia Messaging and 6-months subscription to Ovi Music Unlimited (previously Comes with Music) Services. Please remember we will be holding another seven Nokia N8 giveaway competitions over the next seven weeks so make sure you come back to us next week to see if you have won. If not you will have a chance to win in our next N8 device competition giveaway held weekly so watch this space!

So, all you Ringaz readers out there keep an eye on this site and you could be the first person in SA to own the cutting edge new Nokia N8 smartphone! We can’t wait for you to check it out.
