Wondering why Nokia chose the name "NOKIA BELLE" instead of "SYMBIAN BELLE" for this phone?

It's because Pureview 808 is so QT (kyut) as in CUTE!

The OS itself is built and being developed using QT same developing tool used on N9.

I think Nokia is moving on and letting go of Symbian's (the platform) past failure to the market. They don't want to retain the shame that the old SYMBIAN platform has brought to the brand (speaking of s60v5 and the late s^3). Instead they rebuilt and improved the platform(with symbian roots), using QT and incorporate most of the great things they've done from maemo and meego including symbian belle and made it into one amazing feature pack which is "NOKIA BELLE". (And maybe that's also the reason why SYMBIAN is now DEAD.)

But wait, it rose back from the dead. BELLE is a ZOMBIE?lol

With this kind of development, NOKIA can now buid a new UI experience including apps using QT. Just like what they've done with maemo and meego.

I personally still have high hopes with Nokia especially on what they are doing with their new platforms (not to mention WP8 in the near future). Belle is here, next updates should be more breath taking.

Nokia is becoming more QT(cute).

Sooner or later they will regain their throne and become The King again.

        Nokia is still number 1 in terms of innovation. Other manufacturing phones are just copying,i bet this other phone manufacturers have headache and spend more money to hire some scientist and genius jerk out there on how to beat this beast.Congratulations Nokia

                    Anonymous, 02 Apr 2012why put in 41 megapixel sensor then only produce 38 megapix... morewhy only 38MP and not 41MP? if you were to take a photo with the full sensor the photo's would be circular. so they crop the image 4:3 or 16:9.

If Samsung think they can beat Nokia, they should do this with their own dumb Bada OS, like Nokia does with their own Symbian, Maemo and Meego OS.

                                [deleted post]lol, it is definately an 41mp sensor!! You should better read, than you would also know what oversampling means -> this is when you e.g. shoot an 5mp image (in the pureview mode) the 808 pureview is nevertheless taking a full resolution(!!) picture to take take the best pixel around of 7 (so you have there your 5mp shoot without noise)...

I own both galaxy s2 and a note now, and an n8 before. Though i prefer a device that rocks in all around features, its stil something worth keeping a phone that does better in taking pictures as its what im fond of, and that goes to a lot numbers of people, not just me. Thats what nokia myt be thnking, and it is there they plan to invest more, its their business after all... And i dont see the point of comparing it to dslrs since its a smartphone, a cameraphone, not a camera.. I hope you just dont look at the sun, but to the things you can see With it..

                                      For the never-ending question about the nHD resolution because people don't bother searching, here is the primary reason why Nokia chose nHD: App Compatibility.

                                      Most apps for Symbian developed in the past few years are optimized for nHD resolution. Honestly, I tried using an application optimized for lower-resolution on a higher resolution phone, and it got pixelated - a lot.

                                      It is quite understandable to use this resolution to ensure maximum backward compatibility for old applications. Lower resolutions also consume less power. Although the pixel density may not be enough to make sure that individual pixels cannot be distinguished by the naked eye on close-up, I am sure at reading distance it won't be a problem. I used phones at that pixel density at reading distance, and I wasn't bothered at all. I pay a lot of attention to detail, but I didn't usually see individual pixels clearly unless I was really looking at them. And I doubt anyone would be looking for individual pixels every time they use their device.
