simple logic,symbian is gonna be gone in a few years,but windows phone still has a lot to catch up in terms of functionality.

so the designers must've thought, "ah what the hell, lets go crazy with this one and see what happens"

          stop bashing symbian.

                OH MY GOD... this is a monster! Nokia never stops to impress fans and even haters! Lol!
                Never compare this to dslr you idiots coz dslr is not a phone.cant make telephony functions or can surf the net! Its not handy and portable like n8 or 808 pureview so just learn to appreciate and accept it that this will make waves to everyone esp the camera enthusiasts! We love nokia!

                        A misinformed fanboy can make even the rational fans look down.

                          640 x 360 resolution - GONE. SHAME NOKIA, you call this upgrade, N8 an yr old has the same useless resolution.

                          oh i get it, belle cant dance at higher resolutions.. lol

                              To all those jealous, infantile people who knock Nokia. This phone smashes the rest into total insignificance. This will be the best selling camera phone ever. Just wait till they combine this excellence into the Windows OS

DSLR camera are for vacation or to take any professional photos. Plus, a DSLR is a chick magnet too. You can take picture of hot girls by asking permission and plus their phone number.

                                    Yeah.. "taking photos with your 41 mpx nokia", probably lame if your on vacation or your prom. Probably a 15yo would probably take photos with mobile phones..

                                    I don't mind carrying my DSLR around to take the most memorable photo under RAW format. I have my amdroid phone and a tablet that fits in my camera bag. I could use everything at once because WiFi SD has been exist for a long time. Multiple sharing will be absolute possible. Think twice geek!
