i just don't understand why android and ios users always comment on posts about Nokia. both my brothers use android and ios and my n9 made them look dumb. i came from android so i no the only thing good about them is APPS!!!! that's it nothing more... the only thing duel core quad core do is drain your battery

          cleo, 19 Jun 2012honestly the price is too high for me. I'll wait for some ... moreThe price is a little high when the phone launches but it will drop over time! I don't consider it high for such technologies in a phone, anyway.

                I'll wait for some further review first before deciding.
                also it won't available in my country until next 1-2 months.

                        Lemme bash 808 too! Its a great camera phone with just three minor drawbacks:
                        1. Its extremely chubby. Just compare its thickness to iPhone or Galaxy S II/III.
                        2. It has 360x640 resolution on a 4-inch display. PPI is not good, pixels are big, image looks... boxy? Just compare it to Samsung Galaxy Nexus which sells for $400.
                        3. Price. Off contract for $700, while best smartphones are typically available for around $200 on contract.
                        But hey, you won't find a better camera in ANY phone! In case you were looking for a phone to replace an outdated point-and-shoot and don't care about optical zoom, smartphones, DSLRs... and have extra cash that is burning your pocket.

                          s3 for 680 and 808 for 700. So it depends on you guys to choose the best one for u.

                                  Just nice for camera only...

                                  but I do prefer more entertainment from IOS and android phone..

                                  Since I already have better camera than 808 - Sony NEX 5N,compared 808 with 5N, 5N still far better than 808 especially for low light shot.

                                      Better value for money by HUGE margin compared to piece of plastic lagroid called S3 or outdated, gayish 4s. You even would still need to buy a proper P&S and navigation software with previously mentioned to even come to same league with 808.

                                        A good camera without a lenses will not take better photo than a APS-C sensor + lenses camera.

                                        If you want more better photo go buy DSLR or EVIL camera.

                                        If you want a small, easy carry camera but not pro in photography 808 maybe is your choice, keep in mind that Android or IOS is still very good in software with plenty of games & function, some with larger nice screen,, different design.
