    In my opinion,,, camera features and tech innovations is far better than non-stop growing screens... I think 3.5''-4'' is good enough for a mobile/smartphone.
    Btw,,, i saw a new abbr. below... HTC (half technical crap) i feel sory for it...

I believe they can make a good Android phone but it's up to Nokia whether they would change their path or not. It's not up to you nor me. So stop saying such irrelevant thins. If you want Nokia tech, you'll go for it whether it's WP or Android. I'm an android user and i'm not satisfied with it so sooner i'll be switching to whatever beast Nokia will announce in a few days.

          I have an android phone, and i dont like nokia to go with android, i want them to stay in wp8. android phone will not give you a peace of mind. it will make you obsessed with the phone, like, flashing, removing bloatware in order to get lag free.. what firmware will you choose, ohh longing for update update update.. changing firmware here and there.. its crazy

            Let us SUPPORT nokia, we cannot afford to let a company like this lost. they are capable of giving its users a great feature.. well, regarding the OS, lets give it time to mature..

                While it has less apps, it's still 125,000, more than you need, right? And there are some great Nokia apps too, like City Lens - something you Android fanboys can dream of that will never become reality.

                        Nokia doesn't want lag and glitchy/unreliable OS. That's why no Android for Nokia.

                          And of course, let's give the High-End pictures High-End storage. It's not even half an year when Kingston announced 1Tb memory stick.

                          Keep the technic part on the company. If they come in with 16-element camera, they know the size of the files, they know the size of megapixels, they know there won't be any noise.

                          Don't shout if you don't know what you are shouting aloud.

If Nokia joins this tech with it's Pureview tech the noise and low megapixels will be just trolls. If they say outloud this kind of technology, the noise is handled, so the size of the pictures. Of course if you take them as raw pics, the size will be alot. But yeah, we don't have 128gb chips for phones yet, do we? (YES WE DO.)

                              [deleted post]Awe. You think you know and understand tchnology...It's cute. Anyway this is about phones and progression.....so thre is no room for you. All they simply pointed out is that Nokia would make a very good Android phone. It's no means for trolling them at all. It's the truth. Plus it would help them out as a comapany DRASTICALLY! People would sworm if they made a high end Android flagship

                                I believe this Pelican Imaging system will have a very low megapixel. Imagine 16 layers of 13 or even 8 megapixel photos. That will take up too much disk space. just thinking out loud.

                                  Nokia will also be the first to make a light-field / plenoptic cameraphone. You heard it here first.

                                    Perhaps Nokia should consider building cameras instead of smartphones. The once indisputable king of mobile telecomm now seems to have nothing left to offer but nice cameras. So sad.
