Grow UP! nokia just created sumething really innovating and you with limited hardware... that is inovation! and nokia is doing it, left the droid and itrols bash them and copy their ideas, we all know nokia is the one that is making innovation here

        Well for your Info, Symbian is the only Os which can support the camera sensor of that caliber, thats the reason 808 is a Symbian Phone, rest assured all WP, iOS or android cant think of going above 8 MP (there are few but the quality of pics sucks)

                Wow! 1.3ghz processor, 4-inch AMOLED screen, 41 mp camera! 1080p video recording! Latest OS version from Nokia!

                So many wow things about it, why can't I make myself like it? Is it because Pen Tile AMOLED at 640x360 makes the screen look horrible, or because competitors already use 1280x720 screens in their phones (4x resolution)? Or maybe because other phones already have dual-quad core processors? Or maybe because it looks 13-15mm thick when other phones can be seen hitting 7mm mark? Or is it because of Nokia OS, which might stop getting updates and bug fixes any time now? Or maybe its because Android/iOS have more apps in their app stores? Or is it because images this 41mp camera takes are just too big? 10mb per picture. And if I use 8mp mode, how will it be different from other phones?

                Weird phone.

                    2.That phone is just hideous..it's like the 5800 camera edition
                    3.Buy a DSLR...simple. Lines should not cross. Phones should be phones and leave 41mp figures to cameras..

                      FAIL!!! 41MP? Really?? What for? Didn't phone manufacturers like samsung and apple already make the point that it's not all about pixels but quality and detail as well? What a waste of space!! Cuz i know that sensor is huge!! Second..symbian?? Errrrrrrrr (buzzer)..FAIL yet again!! You just could't resist giving it your all on the final symbian device could u? Well..thats u guys i guess. Third that phone just isn't pretty..that's kind of clear cut. Cosmetically it looks like it just received a bad batch of botox. Lol..No wonder symbian lost a need to exist.

                            I think that this is a HUGE step for Nokia , but it still didn't beat the Samsung Galaxy Note ( that I think is the best mobile phone in the world for the current time).

                                  I am happy with this phone photo camera but got concern about display quality. Below I compare Nokia 808 PureView and Nokia N8:

                                  If on GSMArena about display specifications not mistake then I'll be sad :( Hope some mistake happens.

This is a phone not a camera and to drool over it for unique camera functions that most people don't even understand and probably utilise even less is just marketing hype.

                                        41MP is true but its what behind all these MP thats the big interest and it took 5 years to accomplish this result.Result=Supern photos even in low light.
