Symbian phones, unbreakable(almost) phones, phones with a great battery life, phones with a lanyard hole, a phone with interchangeable covers, a phone with a 41Mpx sensor, smart (true sense of the word) phones, beautiful phones, fun phones.
The N8 runs Symbian^3. At first glance it looks very similar to S60 5th Edition, but this under appreciates the changes that have been made. The most notable is the switch to a single tap interaction model (rather than double tap). Both methods are valid, but single tap seems to be what people expect to have on a modern smartphone.
At the Symbian Foundation stand visitors could write down their ideas and wishes for future features and apps. Apparently they will all be fed into the new ideas.symbian.org/ site.
Bounce - cellphone game for first color Nokia s40 phones. Later there was version for s60 Symbian phones too. I really like this game and I decided to make maps for original (extended) level pack.

The N8 gets a smart dialler - this means that as you press the number / alphanumeric keys, the phone searches against your contact list and provides matches based on what you've typed in so far.
It is the same system that you'll find in Nokia Eseries devices and is a very welcome addition. It also available on multiple other smartphones.
