        As awesome as 41mp would be for a camera, unless you plan on rarely taking pictures with people in them, its too much details. I for one don't need people to see every blemish on my skin. sweet camera none the less but for most people use, a little excessive but i can't argue the fact that if i take a scenic photo it is going to look fantastic!

            AD_boY, 27 Feb 2012What the hell is this? Nokia is trying to have more custome... moreThey're not trying to capture the hardcore CPU market. Most people don't care about that. They just want a phone that 1.) Looks sexy. 2.) Is easy to use 3.) Reliable. Symbian Belle is a great OS (took Nokia long enough) and it isn't as memory hungry as android so it doesn't need a dual or quad core processor to run quickly. There is a niche of camera phone lovers who are going to pick this phone up. The Nokia N8 is still selling fairly well (I put one up on ebay and sold it for $360, it sold in 6 hours) . So I think Nokia knows what they're doing at this point. I admit it took them a long time, but they have a good strategy.

              What the hell is this? Nokia is trying to have more customers just by increasing camera config. No big deal having 41 mp cam, but still it can't beat even breach cam. Their rest config. Has to be dual core with atleast 1.5 ghZ 1 gb ram , 1 gb rom, 3D photo (since not mentioned) battery should be minimum 2100 maH expected. Let's see what nokia is gonna do.

                      41. First i thought is fake, but indeed it makes 38mpix photos (7152x5362). Nokia the greatest!

                          after quiet some time using galaxy note, my 1st android phone, i miss Nokia so much. Nokia has Been my friend since i was 12 years old. Android is ok, but who says symbian is bad? Its a decent os. There is something i am certain of that Nokia will rock again, eventually, and this is it. I love the color combination and the design, its lovely. Thought that i would hate you after moving to android, but i cant. Still love u Nokia. U have something which others dont. U are unique!!! I myself love being unique, just like you. Gonna get this on May!!! Please make a green candytone and black color special for me. :)

                              The main beauty of the 41MP sensor isn't that
                              it lets you take 38MP photos.

                              It is that it lets you take 5MP/8MP photos with
                              great detail and low noise photos on one hand
                              and it gives you 2.76x/2.19x optical quality
                              zoom on the other.

                                    funny.. when some troller compared to samsung galaxy..
                                    yeah it lookslike galaxy phone really made by people from another galaxy, so they don't know what is people on earth really need..

                                    in this planet..
                                    we need less battery consumptions, power friendly devices, optimized resource for multitasking, variative design & colors.

                                    thats why.. people on earth still love Nokia
                                    they saving energy and resource, not spend it for something less.

                                    -IMO

                                      Just saying.. So who wanna be an engineer saying each year "5MP+ is useless on a phone", then "8MP+ is uselss on a phone..".

                                      Keep your ignorant comments for yourselves please and just admit that there are real engineers knowing what they are doing in those companies.

                                      Hopefully now others will try to "unfollow" Apple in this lame low MP war.

                                      Last year we were told just over here that Samsung and Sony were producing 16/20MP sensors. Where are they now ?
