(scroll down to table)
to all those posting about Symbian, do a little research so that you don't sound uneducated. the trend nowadays is towards html5 and Symbian mainly runs on java which even adobe says is obsolete. Symbian provides everything android does without the need for penta core or 2gb of ram.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)

the best os for phones ie smartphones is meego.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N9

argue what you want but android doesn't compare to meego. lucky for android meego is dead in the water, with only online community support.

      Taz, 19 Jun 2012Its a crap, better buy S3, best value for money.Do let us know, "intelligent" boy, if this is a crap. how's s3? What innovation brings this same-squarecrap phone? Same android, same apps, same camera same technology... same everything. if you wanna buy an android, buy the second square crap (s2) and make an update. (it doesn't support one that's why is a crap, but u can use a "illegal" firmware) That's it, is the same like the last square crap. Don't tell me that you will notice to much the megamulticore usless processor in s3 cuz that's just a LIE.

              Guys read the news of cnet... Its clearly mentioned that Nokia reviewed the plans of launching puerview in USA only b'cos of good consumer demand which forced the company to launch in amazon.

                720p? Anything under 5000p per inch of display is just Unbearable to watch.

                      When I pay something like $700, I expect it can play 720p video like many other phones(HTC One X) at this price range, especially it has so good camera that can record a good hd video.

                      And plus, what is this material. Plastic(Poly carbonate)?

                      Pfff...last time, when N8 was released the Nokia fanboys brag about the metal cover of N8?

                            I can confirm that Nokia 808 can't play DivX/XviD/AC3/FLAC codecs as well.

                            All those video/audio codecs are very common in these days and even $200 to $300 phones can play those codecs.

                            Nokia, Nokia, Nokia. This is an epic failure. Nice try though.

Can you think that this phone can not play the videos it just recorded?? Playing an fullHD moview has nothing to do with its screen resolution, because when playing the video is scaled, but do you watch FULLHD videos on a phone?? There are TVs for that!!! You can stream the 1080p video from 808 direct to your TV!

                                128GB storage - 48GB is enough, you can have many SD-cards if you want
                                DLNA - it has DLNA
                                NFC - it has, NOKIA was the first to use NFC!

                                        Well, its screen is 360 x 640. Yes, 808 can record 1080p due to the 38 MP camera(7152 x 5368), but technically it can't play it on the display(360 x 640).
