Still Nokia and Symbian continue their traditional soft.ware problem with it.I have a Nokia Mobile 2 years before and I pay Rs 300 for every month repair it.

808 and olympus they cost about the same, and with olympus you get more - changeable lens, tripod mount, maybe better photos in poor light, and much more

I've ordered the 808 online last Friday here in India, just saw an update that they will ship it to me tomorrow. Eagerly awaiting arrival.
Nokia is a huge 'trusted' brand in India. To many, the name is synonymous with Mobile phones itself. It sells millions of phones and has managed to sell phones to the budget conscious by the millions - each phone being rugged, long lasting and each an ambassador for the brand....and each continuing to build the brand phone by phone. To me, the comments like the brand will disappear, etc. hold no meaning. I believe they will still continue to be profitable and sell, and having invested in the lower end, will carry many of the loyalists when they migrate to more higher end ones.
Frankly I don't see how long this Android initiated run on hardware is going to last. We have of course seen tremendous improvements over the last 2 years. But judging by many comments, even from the knowledgeable ones like the AMD CEO, generally hardware has reached a point where even mid range hardware meets all stated software requirements...and one does not really need massive oodles of improvements every year anymore on the hardware. And this coupled with the massive lawsuits on the Android makers will undermine its very foundation. Budget Android tablets and phones are already sporting 1 GHz+ processor specs and selling for less than equivalent of USD 100 in India (unlocked version). Competition is very tough, and has become a commodity market...one that I see many top players leaving soon because of tight or even lack of margins. I think Nokia has done the right thing staying away from Android.
I do not envy Mr. Elop's job and think he has grappled with the bad situation handed over to him and must be doing tremendous work to take Nokia forwards. However considering that there was ongoing significant (R&D) work like the Pureview on Symbian, beats me why he chose to publicly renounce Symbian. Could he have not just chosen to make Windows his preferred platform, but also take Symbian along? Eagerly awaiting his sound bytes to understand what he feels about he platform now, especially seeing the reception the Pureview has got. I too am kind of a Nokia fanboy like many of the others who have commented on this forum for this article...and my heart bleeds when I know that this great camera has made me to knowingly make the mistake of buying a phone on a dying platform - one that the parents themselves have said will be put to death shortly. Can we the supporting public take the onus to not allow this to die? Or do we just stand by grieving while the parents mercilessly hack it to a untimely death.
Oh, Mr. Elop, woe are you!

Navin, 18 Jun 2012Hi all,
I am going to buy 808 but before buying this phone , I have few questions
1.How ... moreHi,
1. Yesterday I've done about 100 pictures and 4 videos (was all the day outside), used the internet and calling of course.
The battery didn't drained... I charged it after arriving home (it was still around 15-20% battery life left).
2. There is one Hard Cover with camera protection: Nokia CC-3046
3. There is an front camera for video calls (but the native camera app doesn't support it - you have to download an extra app if you want to use it as a mirror for example)
