    808's design is better than that of all of the Samsung lineup which has basically the same design for each and every goddamn phone.

                The fact is....

                - Symbian Belle has enough features for 95% of users.

                - Symbian Belle (and Nokia Store) has enough apps for 95% of users.

                - 640x360 screen is enough for 95% of users.

                - Nokia has the best build quality of them all.

                - Symbian Belle has the best battery life as compared to other OS.

                Nokia and Symbian are still relevant.

                        Kevin McIntyre, 27 Feb 2012Hi there, I think you need to read the press releast pro... moreIt's still digital cropping.

                        An addition about the sensor resolution. The sensor is 41 MP, but the effective sensor is 38 MP. This allow them to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 (the old computer screen size), 16:9 (wide screen) and 2:3 (35mm film) without losing much resolution. Many cameras simply take picture at full size and crop it afterward, reducing the pixel count.

                            Anonymous, 27 Feb 2012and that were the old symbian devices with lower hardware s... moreyeah, i have belle on 600MHz processor and using it is very smooth, fast (especially booting), and still it is taking the punishment from me running 5-10 apps without having the device crashing.

                            and they say symbian is dead. we must be seeing ghost.

                              sorry but why are so many people going crazy, yes this Nokia will be the best in camera department but at almost 20 mm thickness at the camera area how can it not be, give any manufacturer that headroom and they will match or even better this without a doubt.

                                Gladiator, 27 Feb 2012Yeah but galaxy ace costs abt less-than half d cost of dis ... moreYeah....

                                Galaxy Y pixel pitch: 0.189 mm/pixel
                                Galaxy ACE pixel pitch : 0.153 mm/pixel

                                Shows that people really don't care that much about pixel density except for us geeks.

                                Nokia 808 pixel pitch: 0.138 mm/ pixel

                                3.2" HVGA screens pixel pitch: 0.141 mm/pixel

                                So 808's pixel density is a bit better than 3.2" 320X480 displays. Enough for 95% of the users.

                                        38MP!! my hands are shaking. i though GSM arena made typo error to be 14MP.

                                        about front camera, yes it's a shame if this will not have front camera. as posted below, there is based on the the developers blog. but the photos don't seem to show front camera. i hope these are just press photos.
