not sure if this has been posted before, but for those that want to test the N8, or just to have a look at the changes in S^3 without physically needing to handle the phone, you can use the phones available in Forum Nokia's Remote Device Access (RDA).

RDA allows you to connect to a Nokia phone of your choice, and launches a Java window to connect to the phone, live. You can call into the phone, in case you think it's an emulated one

those with N8 already, can do a software update to see if you have the Nokia Midnight Theme pack? New themes, new icons too, looks pretty classy

nice. good stuff there. hope this comes for the e7 too

it seems the case provided is a silicone one, unconfirmed though
