If only this magnificent technology was enclosed within a modern smartphone... I'd buy it right there because there's simply no competition to this PureView tech. But... instead you end up with a 640x360 screen and Symbian OS. Pity.
Ideally this would be an Android device, with fully customized camera app from Nokia. With Android the company just takes the source code and makes all the adjustments they want. Now they are stuck with Windows Phone, which they can't modify directly to cater their needs. Pity the decisions like sticking to a particular OS are being made not by engineers but by top-level execs, who often don't know anything about the development.
This PureView technology is likely to be found in a WP 8 phone but what's worrying me is that it may be limited by Windows Phone OS. Or by Nokia itself - by design.
So for example we will get 20 MP sensor instead of 41 MP, so the oversampling will be limited, so the quality will be worse. Or they will cut some other features so the phone will be cheaper so it will sell "better"... But this would be wrong in my opinion, Nokia has the potential here to stand out from the crowd and should use it! There's no other phone like this and if people could buy a WP 8 phone with this tech that's a little bit more expensive or bulky than the other without PureView tech, they would buy it.
If only 808 was a modern smartphone also, it would sell like hotcakes. Now we have to wait and see.

guys the phone is expensive due to the quality optics and lenses used in it., its not a regular lens as commonly used in mobile industry, those optics quality rivals those of mid range Dslrs so be happy, a dream come true a mid rang Dslr that can call text surf and upload to social networks :D

It's just the best whether in camera shooting or just listening to its almost real sound. Don't look for any phone that can beat this 808 . Check out the price and this will be an added bonus for you to rest your decision. This phone undergo 5 years in the making and they proved it worldwide by winning the awards , but what i like is the price . Imagine you have a 41 megapixel phone for a very smart price .

Worth it?
Absolutely not...Thanks for reminding that Nokia 808 pureview is a mobile phone in the end with feature enough to match a DSLR. Do not jump to conclusion without analysing all the factors or may be you being ******* fanboy find a 4'8" MOBILE PHONE worth....its price.
