Nokia’s 2010 flagship is, in many ways, a masterpiece. From its unibody aluminum design to its groundbreaking penta-band 3G radio to the high-spec onboard camera to the full-size HDMI port to the innovative USB host mode, the N8 can’t help but impress.

The app that makes it happen is called Wikitude. Let’s have a look…
