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.

Read again, dude. Check out the specs here in gsmarena before you post things. It has gorill... moreThe Lava Xolo is a single core Android that does 1080P, the original GS could playback 1080P, its down to the hardware NOT Android to do this!
The 808PV has a whole GPU just dedicated to its Camera and media, its got NOTHING to do with being single or multi-core, quit spreading rubbish!

Nokia has to catch up. A phone with only a powerful camera is just, well, a phone with a powerful camera.
The processor, the RAM, the OS are all below average.

nokia always says attractive and theoretical specs abount her camera phones : big sensor , carl zies optics, stereo recording .. but actually I found iPhone 4S has more beauatiful photos. maybe less details but vibrant colors and more contrast photos.
why nokia can't enhance this side by software update 4 shooting algorithm

AnonD-51996, 26 Jun 2012No quad core - Do you want to use Photoshop, etabs, MathCAD or AutoCAD on your phone??? Quad c... moreYou are right. Symbian can also run on dual and quad cores. It also supports higher resolutions than nHD 640X360. But Nokia gives nHD 640X360 and single core CPUs because Symbian can run much faster on 680 MHz CPU than 1.2 GHz dual core Android. And Nokia understands that quad cores are waste of battery power because Nokia is known for their best battery backup phones. Symbian was the first OS to have multitasking, megapixel cameras and CPU.

I agree Dual core is good to have in Phone to get a better GAMING experience depending on the OS.
But Quad-core is not required to get installed in mobile phone except to drain the battery.
After all.. Symbian BELLE the best OS which can give you superior experience in single core chips too... which is again COST efficient and POWER efficient.
