Not much to say about iFixIt’s Nokia N8 teardown except that did you know the N8 used a Xenon flash tube?

As opposed to many other smartphones that use either a single or double LED for the flash, the N8 uses a Xenon flash tube similar to the kind of flash found in full-size cameras.


That actually makes me like the N8 much more than I originally did. Nokia clearly really cares about their products. Now if they could just get the world of nerds to care.
