How to select the first two character in SQL Server CE?

For example:

+-----+-----------+------------+
+ Day +  Time     +  ID        +
+-----+-----------+------------+
+ 1   +  08:00:00 +  A1        +
+ 1   +  09:00:00 +  A2        +
+ 1   +  09:30:00 +  A3        +
+ 1   +  10:15:00 +  A4        + 
+-----+-----------+------------+

Time column is a nvarchar type.

Then, I want to select the ID only with the time based on the real-hour, like only select the 08 part from 08:00:00. How can I do that?
