Nokia currently make the best cameras in phones at the moment, and people don't like it.

      I was simply implying that Edof or auto-focus on a mobile phone is the same yap all you want, it still gets the job done - take a picture of something.

                you can shoot a4 paper with normal size letters from 50-60cm and you will see everything. what more do you need?
                ask yourself, how many macro shots (30cm) have you EVER done with your mobile?
                dont mock until you've tried it. it sounded silly to me the first time, but it makes sense

                also, how many times has someone who doesn't understand half-click autofocus shot a blurry photo of you? give your phone or digital camera to take a picture of you and most of them will press all the way. this is then a better solution because its simpler.

                so dont mock it until you've tried it, because you appear ignorant

                    Android don't do anything better then Symbian. Symbian has pentaband, Bluetooth 3.0, Carl Zeiss optics, and had USB to go way before android devices as well as hdmi out put that still perform better then any Android devices on the market and while having less ram and smaller processors still get the job done and excellent on battery life and that my fan boys is quite a achievement. So hate all you want and continue to wish your android hardware companies can put out devices as beautiful as Nokia. At least with Nokia you always get something new and designs and not the same looking phone year after year like Samsung Galaxy, HTC

                      mulitask - no
                      themes - no
                      navigation - no

                      works good on lower end phones - no
                      works lag free on 1ghz phones - no
                      and so on...

                      im not saying android is bad, just that imho, they should optimize the os to: work better on weaker phones, increase battery life and reduce app crashing and lags on high end phones. if they do that properly, i will agree it is the best

                                  To all these nubs who are complaining about the "fixed focus" camera on Nokia's new devices. Tell me, have you ever even TRIED Nokia's EDOF?

                                  Tests have shown that it's only limited when you want to do a closeup photograph. For everything else, it's fully capable. Video is actually superior to AF camera phones.

                                  Do your homework before trolling please.
