Nokia 808 isn’t a smartphone. It’s a smart phone.
I put up with the 5MP camera on my Nokia 700 because I also had a Nokia D50 with several lenses which covered all my photography needs. Only problem was that the DSLR was bulky and I wouldn’t always have it with me, so I sold it. I sold it the week after the Nokia 808 was announced. I sold it because the picture quality on the 808 matched the quality of my 6MP DSLR, and the facilities for previewing, editing and sharing images and videos on the camera were far better than on the DSLR. I sold it because there was now a phone which offered me all the same facilities of my current phone PLUS a camera which is better than any point and shoot or cameraphone out there, even better than some micro four thirds cameras. The audio recording alone sets it apart from anything in those categories. That’s right (for all you people who say that 808 buyers should save their money and buy a DSLR), I SOLD MY DSLR to buy a Nokia 808 PureView. That’s because I will now be able to carry everything I need in my pocket in one (admittedly chunky) package. Other cameraphones try and be a jack of all trades, and end up compromising the camera for the thickness of the device.
The Nokia 808 isn’t a cameraphone. It’s a camera phone.
So there you have it. I hope I have helped some of you who think I’m an idiot to understand why I have made this decision. I hope some of you will have the kindness to accept that I am doing this for my own reasons which I have thought through, and I hope that you will not feel that you have to scream at me about how stupid I am.
Just my two pence.
PS Oh, and my phone allows me to design and use my homescreens in landscape or portrait. Does yours? I’m just interested. I like that feature. It’s not for everyone though.”

symbian boy, 28 Jun 2012what happen to nokia? They are falling faster! CEO Elop mu... moreElop is clearly destroying Nokia. He killed Meltemi and Meego, he's destroying Symbian (letting Nokia make an awesome phone, then not advertising it and not making carriers take it, then saying "look, it's dead"), also he's going to destroy S40 for some invented reason (wait and see), just so that, in the end, Microsoft will buy what's left of Nokia for peanuts and continue making their own phones. :-( Enjoy Symbian while you can, I think if I can't get one I'll rather buy a feature phone than spend my money on some other OS, unlimited data plan, apps, games and all that unnecessary stuff.

You're just brainwashed into believing that you need an expensive data plan and to stare at your phone all day (well, until the battery runs dry anyway) instead of going out and enjoying the world, maybe taking a photo here and there, and not being a slave to Twitter.

It's already been released in Asia, hot selling model despite the very quiet release. Plus Elop is only interested in Lumia models, so they will focus marketing and all the best deals for Lumia.

Got it yesterday for INR 27000.ie,$473 as of today's rate.Was a one-time promotion on homeshop18.The camera's far far far ahead of my S2.Just like the ICS browser of my S2 is far ahead of 808's browser.
Some basic comparisons:
Where the S2 leads:
DISPLAY
S2 has more pixels and also a more vibrant sparkling effect.Also,cant seem to use the full 450nits brightness of 808 as mentioned in the gsmarena review.
OS
Android ICS is far ahead of Belle FP1.FULL STOP.Below are some of the main merits of the OS.
BROWSER
S2 is far ahead of 808.The page loading time is same but all other features like scrolling,zooming etc..are better in S2.
SPEED
ofcourse,S2 leads here.Using the 808,you'll have to resign to the fact that you have to see that "loading" icon every now and then.
KEYBOARD
Again,S2 is lot better than 808's but this one,I think I should review it again after using it for sometime.maybe I will feel more comfortable after sometime.
Where the 808 leads:
CAMERA
808 is miles ahead of S2.In everything-quality,noise,colours,size,zoom etc etc etc.Even the aesthetics,the S2's curved body feels more comfortable to use as a camera.
GPS
Both of them connect very fast.But the 808 comes with fully preloaded india maps,something that S2 lacks.
SOUND
808 is better in all-clarity,loudness,headset performance but the default music player again lacks in UI.
CALL QUALITY & RECEPTION
The 808 appears to give better coverage.And the call quality,especially the mic of the 808 is far better.
So,briefing it,an 808 with a 720p Superamoled plus,Dual core and Android would be The King of all phones.

what happen to nokia? They are falling faster!
CEO Elop must not abandon Symbian and Meego! Nokia must focus also on other OS like symbian and meego not only on windows phone! I hope nokia will change their mind to get the crown from samsung..

It's funny watching all the android fanboys come out and bash this phone. The fact that despite being a single core "inferior" device it caught their attention really says a lot. Specs aside, any tech lover should get this phone despite their OS preference. Why? Because it is a one of a kind device. Quad core phones arent unique, they will become the norm, but a 41 MP cameraphone(and running symbian)? It'll be a while before you see that again(Really doubt that pureview Lumias will be able to match this beast). If anything it will become one hell of a collector's item. Don't see this phone for what it isn't, see it for what it does and for what it shines.

I can't believe all of you people who believes Nokia sells low specification because Symbian belle can perform better in single core phone. They actually need to reduce the phone price as the 41mp camera still cost a lot of money.If they increase the specification on this phone in processor and its RAM for example. The price of this phone will cost more and who want to buy an highly expensive phone? I believe this is a part of Nokia's marketing strategy.
