        nokia n82 has the best camera ever. even the iphone 4's 5mp camera took an ass-kick from n82's camera.. i haven't seen any phone having that powerful camera, specially the powerful xenon flash. :D

          If the connectors would be facing sideways then it would be even slimmer.
          Assembly would be like patching on hole on the PCB - making the entire board flat.
          Maybe the next version...

However the likes of android are running on open platforms resulting in less optimisation, its like comparing a pc and a ps3/xbox, both are good at what they do, the console will be a little smoother with its optimised software , but a pc will have much more raw power and vesatility, and if you take the high end pc's you can build their wont be a console around for years that could its capabilities

                  This is not really a smartphone os that's why Nokia is flushing it to the toilet.
                  Did you ever tried browsing with it? I'd rather jump from a building.

                    There is no such thing like a Exynos GPU.
