iris, 13 Mar 2012all too god on the paper but is it worth it?if u want such ... moreYes, you could get an entry-level DSLR. But you said it yourself that a phone is a phone. This was not supposed to compete against DSLRs. Even Nokia did not say anything about competing against DSLRs. They have a different reason why they used a 41MP sensor here.

Also, I think only high-end compact cameras can match the quality of the photos that this phone takes. Honestly, I don't like carrying too many gadgets at a time. If this is an excellent phone, multimedia device, camera and video recorder, then this is what I am going to need most of the time.

You can't honestly think that you will be bringing a DSLR with you every time. Bring it only when you really need it. For those that don't need a DSLR to capture, the camera on this phone will definitely suit your need.

And one more thing, taking photos is not the only thing it does. This is a multimedia device. It can do more than what a DSLR can do. Bring something like this with you every time. And when you are going to an occasion or event that really needs a dedicated device, then bring it. This phone will definitely replace your compact P&S camera. Take a look at the full-res samples. They look beautiful even at a low quality setting. If you won't need 38/34MP photos, resample them to a lower resolution. You will find the image quality to be very beautiful.

    nayeem, 12 Mar 2012hello guys,I see everybody is fighting over a same issue.Bu... moreNice overview of the OSes there. Though I have to disagree with you on the codecs. The newer Symbian OSes have excellent codecs comparable, or even better than the ones on Android. As for iOS, yes you could get rid of some restrictions, but the not most. It still won't support side-loading and the bluetooth is still too restrictive even after a jailbreak.

        Al Hassan, 12 Mar 2012Hey,, I love having excellent camera in my phones.. The Nok... morewhat is the point of putting in a 2 meggapixel camera in the front facing camera,
        think about it, its a tiny sensor, wich two meggapixels would no change the quility, only if you made the sensor bigger,

        think of the lodgic people, its not rocket science...

                all too god on the paper but is it worth it?if u want such a good camera and if u r too particular in taking good photos and concerned with the resolution, go buy a good digital camera instead.For the price of this phone , i think we could get an entry level DSLR. A camera is a camera and a mobile phone is a mobile phone.However hard u try you can't match the power and performance of a device that is dedicated fo the purticular purpose. Oh.. for bragging rights, its ok....

                      anon, 12 Mar 2012Very true. Apps are generally battery-sucking crap. Game on... morei only got 2 pockets and one has my keys in it...The other my phone. Who carries a psp for gaming , a ipod for music, a phone for calls , and a tablet for internet,and a camera for pics,and a camcorder for video. There are alot of phones that do all of this.. If you think nokia is the only one with a phone that has great a video cam your crazy. 41mp is good but its a phone first......just remember its a phone first.

                          If you like beautiful pics and videos,buy a Nokia N95.
                          If you like playing games that are PS2-like,buy an N95.
                          If you hate these touchscreen trends(android, wp7,belle) buy an N95.
                          You'll be satisfied in every point.

                            anonymouse, 12 Mar 2012bang on!!! your decency in answering the question is not fo... moreVery true. Apps are generally battery-sucking crap. Game on GAMING devices, like PSP, because phones will never match that quality. Else, I like phones that ALWAYS work and have enough battery life to support all their base features, let alone extras and nothing but Nokia can do all that today. Nokia running SYMBIAN.

You can just search the apk file for application in share website like 4shared or rapidshare then install it to ur phone without rooting or paying. As for custom menu you can find so many free application for this in market. Get a life!!!

                                    hello guys,I see everybody is fighting over a same issue.But the question still remains is that which OS is better and which handset will be the best amongst all.The answer is concealed behind mystery.I currently use nokia N9 nokia E7 samsung Galaxy galaxy SII and the Iphone 4S.I actually develop apps for handsets.
                                    According to my opinion no handset is perfect.You cannot make choices between which OS to use.What I will do is give u guys a maximum possible overview of each OS.
                                    First up Android 4.0:For heavy gamers and people who would like to try new apps every other day.These phones are highly based on performance.Top processors,graphics and extensive modifications are their best quality.On the Cons list we got less Battery life as u really have fast processors nd a really heavy android OS,Open source market filled with bugs.
                                    next up is Symbian:One of the oldest OS probably the the oldest.Best qualities are superior battery life,highly secured,solid materials and a lite OS.Cons include less apps,less video codecs although u cud use third party players for that,not so fast processors and ram that is because u dont need that fast processors to run a symbian OS.
                                    MeeGO:A new OS whcih I wonder could be the best OS one day but unfortunately dropped by nokia so their future is an epic failure if not adapted by a big phone company.A beautiful OS designed for simplicity,got fast processors and include 1 Gb ram which I feel is enough.Cons include scarcity of apps poor battery performance perhaps because the OS consumes a lot of power,restrictions to a lot of features which cud be hardly recognised as a smartphone.
                                    IOS:Its an overestimated OS which I think is worse of all because of the restrictions which comes along with the box but a bit of googling u cud get rid of it.best features are good solid Lag free OS with superior performance.Cons are poor battery life nd a lot of restictions like the bluetooth and others.

                                      they dont call it 'root' in symbian. it's called hack, like somebody else already mention.
