I'm sure that my next phone will be a 808, 'cause I'm really appreciate the camera factor in a smartphone. And Nokia Belle has improved and are a very good OS.

The Hardware is very exceptional but Symbian is SHIT. End of Story.

I agree with you on most accounts but PV isn't an android killer, for now. Maybe a new streamlined device developed after the current model can. An increase in pixel density is most welcome and so with improvements on the looks department, i mean look at the gorgeous N9. I guess like the old adage goes you can't always get what you want. I think this is the smallest dimension they can get to given the sheer size of the.cam module.

SWYPE is available in Nokia Store for pretty much ALL Nokia touch devices.

The excellent audio sound quality just made me a buyer for a Nokia 808.
So very nice to see this resultl. I have Nokia 700 and a Nokia 701 so I do know that the speed of the phone is very good indeed in that area too..

MdN, 23 Jun 2012Did you also see the sunlight contrast ratio? I'd rather have this resolution and actually see... moreexactly thats the point which most of the users are reluctant to think about or u can say unable to think about. yes we do have app for everything but one is tired of switching ten apps to do ten works to one thing rather than all functionalities available in one place by default. out of the box android and ios are kind of handicapped with no sticks for help.talking about the basics VERY BASIC of mobile,u cant even delete multiple msgs, either u have to delete one by one or the entire conversation on android. having a multi media in hand with no basics of a mobile is better to be surrendered for a much purer multi media device atleast u wont get dissapointed of unavailibilty of common things.

Nokia will be back on top on the next quarter and Samsung will be going down. The SGS 3 is an over hyped and exloding toy and it's super ugly.

LazialeI , 24 Jun 2012Dude, you know what am doing with my Android SGSII (other than making calls and taking photos)... morenot to mention your s3 cannot use offline free gps, play music on any radio, shoot pictures in the dark, work on any network in the world etc. nor is there an app for that.
no matter how great the screen and the power of the s3 are, it doesnt stand out as a hardware innovation. sadly a lot of people expected more of it, but got a slightly improved s2

LazialeI , 24 Jun 2012Dude, you know what am doing with my Android SGSII (other than making calls and taking photos)... morea laptop will do all those things better, faster and easier,
if s3+ipad can replace a laptop for you, youre not a power user
not to mention 808 can do all that and more, its way more capable than s3, but not all people will use its potential. its not a mass market phone, its a pro phone, not for kids.
you cannot compare it to s3 or iphone. its too different

I have an ipad3 and an ipad1 that`s 132ppi vs 264ppi. And no matter how hard i stare at the screens i don't see significant difference in clarity and i can say that the former screen is as good as the later one. Don't say I'm blind - I have better than 20/20 vision. So my point is the 184 ppi screen on the 808 is not such a big deal unless maybe you're looking at your phone's screen under a magnifying lens.

- Downloading Games of thrones torrent and watching it with amazing HD & great gesture video player !
- Playing amazing games some of them have great graphics, every game generation from strategy to RPGS !
- apps! man I did t make a shift from IOS to Android untill I found all the important Apps are there, and all top developers are concentrating on those both OS. And if you want me to tell you what are these Apps that makes me sticking with Android .... I need to post a new one!
Believe me. This not my OS is better than yours post! But this is reality, I only use my Android phone + ipad2 to get me everything I need! Thanks to manefactures and Developers combined . Belle is a good friendly stable OS for Facebook and Angry birds...there is NO way it will fulfill high end users . But am keeping hope that we will see PureView on WP8 this fall and I may buy that Nokia :)

well, good to know to ignore your comments from now on.
just one question, what more does a dslr bring to a casual photographer? maybe instant uploading to social networks? calls? internet?
you see, every function on a mobile has a better alternative:
watching movies, surfing the web better on a big screen
gaming better on a console or pc
navigation better on a dedicated gps unit
can i come to a sgs3 comment thread and say "i'd rather buy a 3ghz i5 laptop than this crap"?

I'd rather have this resolution and actually see it than a 2000x3000 display I can only see at home. About the OS... nah, read the review again and look at the videos. If you get an Android or an iPhone you need something like 50 apps just to have what Belle offers out of the box.

AnonD-3575, 23 Jun 2012well, no smartphone can replace my laptop but i can compromiseHow? You can type fast long text on your phone?(in fact you can with swipe, but that's available only on some Androids). Movie watching? Yes, but you better do it on as big screen as possible and at the highest resolution as possible.(Again available only on Android, HOX and SGS 3). Gaming? Yes, but not on Nokia 808. Internet browsing. Only on very fast phones. Not on 808. So yes, you can replace a laptop with a phone, and the best replacement is SGS 3(swipe, large screen-high resolution, fastest phone for gaming and Internet browsing). The only compromise it would be the size of the screen, but the advantages are portability and battery life. With a 808 vs DSLR there are too many compromises and not enough advantages to be worth to buy the 808.
