The innards of a Nokia N8
What makes the Nokia N8 tick? Join our favourite 'taking aparters' – the guys from iFixit – for a closer look.
After removing some screws and popping off the antenna, the mid-plane can be removed from the N8. “The design of the steel mid-plane is pretty genius. Nokia integrated a large EMI shield into the mid-plane to protect the main chips. In addition, thermal pads were placed on the inner face of the mid-plane to conduct heat away from the main chips.”
