this is ont of the best reviews i've ever read for one of the best phones ive ever seen, i am a former n8 user and i fell in love with that phone and nokia and i see this 808 and can't help but want it, as i love symbian i love the fact that it can do everything android can do on a measly single core cpu and go on with that, again the only problem is the limited support and no future of the platform other than that whoever knock symbian is an idiot, while iright now am an android user myself, if there were about 4 applications that i need on symbian i would sell my razr in a heartbeat and go buy this beast.

Alin, 24 Jun 2012How old are you????!!! Those disadvantages are not because ... moreI am a Nokia supporter during Nokia 7610 time. You shall able to guess my age now. I am 30+ not an 16/17 kids that might appear in your mind now.
But then Symbian is badly did in touchscreen, Nokia laziness make it get abandon, this is Nokia fault.
As a consumer, off course we pick better thing.
I won't blindly support single brand because this is stupid.
Now I support Samsung as it out awesome device but not means I forever support it.

@Andrew Tan,I won't dispute that the SG3 is a great device at the moment...powerwise its awesome(being loaded with some crazy hardware),the design is ok(nice and slim,the plastic for such a phone doesn't do it justice though), UI is fluid and fast plus you get alot of Samsung additives(direct dialing,smart stay,the picture in picture thing,and the list goes on).Samsung went all out on this phone and they came out with a powerhouse. But,as someone said most of the new features of the SG3 are softwarewise and can easily be duplicated on to other devices.What Android and IOS has over Belle are apps,can't dispute that. Currently the singlecore belle is running up to about 80-85% of quadcore androids.I can tell you this symbian is finally stable(did take a while though). True Android does have more apps but for non-app junkies that's not a decider(and even for app junkies there are decent amount of apps for Belle).808PureView is bulky because of its cam sensor,you try putting a sensor like that in the SG3.Quite frankly both phones shine in different aspeacts..SG3 Powerhouse(all in one) but easily duplicated esp with other Android devices out there(HTC n Motorola) and the Iphone yet to be released... Nokia 808PureView true innovation(no one can deny that) this is a phone for persons who like to capture those special moments plus you get smartphone onboard.UI(Belle) is as stable as any one the top 2, fast, fluid and simple.the only thing killing this UI is Nokia.

AnonD-52738, 24 Jun 2012If Symbian / Belle is that great, why majority abandon it? ... moreHow old are you????!!! Those disadvantages are not because of Symbian itself!!! Symbian started to lost market share because Nokia was lazy to updrage the UI of symbian!!! Now it is on par with Android! But Symbian realy fel off when stupid CEO issued that burning memo, it is obvious now that the burning platform was Windows Phone, not Symbian!

Symbian is dead not because it can run in high or low spec.
Because it is not user friendly enough, and not well optimize for touch. The belle is something better but still not good enough.
That is the main point why Symbian get abandon.

HTC One X is great phone also. Sony wise sorry, it is not bad, but not the best in Android market. It price always can let you pick something better. Sony always step behind on it hardware spec compare with others Android manufacture.
Even last year iPhone4S also better than this 808PV. 808PV only GREAT in one thing - the CAMERA.

If Symbian / Belle is that great, why majority abandon it? Because it was not..
Also why it still list as CONS by GSMARENA.
Main disadvantages
- Symbian ecosystem lags behind Android and iOS
- nHD resolution wears thin on the 4" screen
- The phone is quite bulky and heavy
- Relatively limited 3rd party software availability

AnonD-52738, 24 Jun 2012S3 hardware part is well known, what the point I repeat her... moresgs3 indeed..
but what about sony xperia s which has 300 plus more ppi.?..can't it be compared with Sgs screen density?..
how about other phones with quadcores, aren't they on par with SGS3, with a difference of small margin in some test.& in real life situations, they are not that noticeable or a big deal...if they just have a difference of 1-5 secs...still you consider them fast...no one will lose since all these handsets could perform well..
But you could not see PV tech on any of these phones.....know what, nokia screen compliments it with CBD..highest contrast to date..25% higher than any other phones..which means sunlight legibility is superb...no one can beat that to the present...
Speed: 1.3ghz running belle is fast, equally comparable to quadcores..& could run PV tech...
N808 PV really has it all to some extent...it won't run away from competition... though it may not win, what matters is that it offers unique innovations...that no other phone could copy...

Winners do what they have to. Nokia should revalue its stand regarding Android, what a winner they would have if it was released with android

Please give me the reason why Belle has not a good core? Only if you think that it supported the most hardware innovations in mobile tech for years, you can conclude that is a very good OS. If you want more technical details about its kernel and why is mobiles is better that Android kernel, please search wikipedia at least! Symbian has a microkernel, while android a monolitic kernel, that's why it needed a lot of ram to run. Symbian was running on 28MB of ram just fine few years ago!

This is the big step why Symbian is being ignore and why Nokia sales keep dropping. Because it got nothing much new.
This 808PV is innovation on camera and thanks for this innovation, surely others will out similar in future, off course others manufacture will think on it size before release it.
808PV sure will have fans on it for those fancy on it camera quality, but some said it can replace whatever in current market and let Nokia be the top again's. I can assure this won't happen. ;)
