Still Nokia's flagship smartphone, Nokia N8 got as cheap as $329.99 unlocked from Dell's online store. Listed for $399.99, customers can use the coupon code F05TKKH7X4S53V to get a $70 cut from the initial price.

Currently, this seems to be the best deal on the market, as the smartphone is cheaper than Nokia's retail stores ($449) or even Amazon's ($399.99).

Although the Nokia N8 is available on the market in five color schemes (Dark Grey, Silver White, Green, Blue, Orange) only the Green version can be purchased with this deal.

It seems that the N8 will be price tagged at $399.99 until stocks end, but the coupon is only available until March 14th.

The N8 is Nokia's first smartphone to run on Symbian^3 mobile platform and is currently considered one of the best high-end devices of the Finnish manufacturer.

Symbian^3 was built as an attempt to rival other operating systems such as Android and iOS, but in the end Nokia failed to impress customers with its latest mobile platform and was forced to make a deal with Microsoft.

Nokia N8 is powered by one of the best CPU embedded in a Nokia phone, a 680 MHz ARM 11 processor, which is complemented by Broadcom BCM2727 GPU.

In addition, the N8 features an excellent 3.5-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 16 million colors support and 360 x 640 pixels resolution. The screen is also scratch resistant thanks to the Gorilla glass display that protects it.

The smartphone boasts a 12-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, Xenon flash and video recording capabilities (720p@25fps). Thanks to the front facing VGA camera, users will be able to make video-calls or take self portrait snapshots.

Nokia's designers decided to go for a minimalistic look, so the phone has been cut as a single piece, thus the 1200 mAh Li-Ion cannot be replaced unless the screws are pulled out.

The battery is rated by the manufacturer for up to 390 hours of standby time (400 hours for 3G) or up to 12 hours and 30 min (5 hours and 30 min) for talk time.
