Nokia says ATIV S just a "warmup" for its WP8 handsets next week, hints a cameraphone

As the hardest clue so far that Nokia might indeed be prepping a PureView Lumia for next week unveiling, Doug Dawson asked a Twitter follower "Let me know if you need a cameraphone to take with you! ;-)", referring to her upcoming wedding...

And if this isn't what Nokia has hyped it to be I'm sure I'll get the Ativ S. However, I hope to get a Lumia.

Hopefully Nokia match words with action this time.
But PureView is nice so we'll see.

Nokia did exceed it with what we expected from the PV teaser, hope for the same

Respect from the core of ma heart for both Nokia & Sammy.
I want Sammy to dominate the market of Android with its beast phones (including my new monster Note 2;) ) and at the same time give a good competition to Nokia on Win 8 platform.
Would love to see this respectful competition from the most respected brands.

No problem with this. Respectful and challenging all at once.
Nokia has a lot riding on WP 8. Bring it!! Love a good Smartphone war!!

And I'm sure Samsung prefers a teasing tweet than another lawsuit

ATIV S design look ordinary compared to sophistication of Lumia 900

If you have a case for your phone, does that really matter?

A case is a case...a phone is a phone!! Don't it matter to you????

for me, 8MP camera is enough..i already having an Canon HDR camera...way to go Ativ S....take my money..

bringing 2 gadget is riskiy... thats why a pureview lumia is what people like me need...
a digital camera+smartphone
22. Evil_SaNz posted on 30 Aug 2012, 04:52 1 2
If you just need an ordinary photo, 8MP is more than enough. If you love making photos, nothing can replace reflex cameras.
Kepler telescope uses 90 MP cameras to catch planets, why should I use a 41 MP camera to shoot myself drunk in random places?
At this point make a nice reflex camera instead a cameraphone and challenge Canon and Nikon

plannetery photos seriously u kiding but no one is harmed if a phone can take a pic nearly good as dig cam for price of one device and u missed the point of 41mg sensor it was to get better zoomed and low light pics which sucks in phones cameras with lot of noise PV has managed to reduced that

im not the richest person on earth so all i need is the best camera phone... and i hate bringing to device like dslr/digital camera and a phone..and the 808 pureview will just be right for me!!!
the pureview tech is one revolutionary technology in smartphone world!!!
even sony and samsung makes dslr/digi cam, they cant bring a very powerful cameraphone in their phone lines..
i want sony to return cybershot series.. a direct competitor of nokia camera phone! :P
and the 808 pureview is par to the canon 5D mark III and it even kick the butt of nikon,olympus and sony's slr!

wait till the 5th. they gave you the date, so yeah they are gonna talk bi if they have something unbelievable up their sleeves. If the ATIV S is this awesome and Nokia is calling it a warm-up act, then I'm expecting a ground breaking release from Nokia next week.!! NOKIA FTW

I give credit to nokia for designing something different but windows is not for me!

Nokia is on the offensive, I sure hope they got the goods to back it up.
15. J1919 posted on 30 Aug 2012, 03:18 2 0
Well obviously Nokia will need to bring their A+ plus next week. They are after all the top dog of WP.
I hope we get some new desings too. Not that the N9 hosuing isn't gorgoeus but ya... let it rest in piece.

Please enough of this Hot Air from Nokia. Samsung delivered yesterday so enough with the cheap talk and DELIVER because if you don't Nokia will be history.
20. Bluesky02 posted on 30 Aug 2012, 04:04 0 0
I'm sure Nokia will strike with it's design. One things I don't understand though why are they after Samsung?
Is it for marketing purpose so that when people type Samsung name on Google, Nokia will appear along the Google results?
24. haseebzahid posted on 30 Aug 2012, 05:39 1 0
they not after them its marketting strategy and nokia condition demands them to do marketting extreamly agressive and marketting is what they need their hardware is always good and OS is not in their hands at the moment
33. peacekeeper05 posted on 30 Aug 2012, 08:39 1 2
Nokia is obviously riding on Samsung's popularity.
38. haseebzahid posted on 30 Aug 2012, 10:25 0 0
u serious nokia never depended on samsung like samsung depends on iphone popularity and copy them do u find any facts about nokia
35. -box- posted on 30 Aug 2012, 10:05 1 0
Nokia lost the top spot of mobile phones sold by volume to Samsung, so since they want their top spot back, Samsung is the obvious "target" to beat
26. Nathan_ingx posted on 30 Aug 2012, 06:00 2 0
Nokia...Nokia...i hope you are real this time!!!
Pureview is a success, and i hope Lumia+Pureview will blow all!!
And i wish, i wish that the pureview "bump" decreases....big time!!!

Class act, this is how phone manufacturers should behave, encouraging each other in a civil manner to do better. No over the top comments and leave the lawyers on coffee break, just bring on the great devices. I hope Nokia and Samsung, as well as RIM (BB10) do well with their new ventures.
31. peacekeeper05 posted on 30 Aug 2012, 08:35 0 0
Well, if it is anything near the ugliness of the pureview 808 then Nokia should prepare for another profit loss. I don't know about you but I don't want to carry phone as thick as a 500 page book and has huge weird looking lenses at the back. Not to mention, it is running on Windows Phone meaning my favorite apps and games won't be supported.
36. -box- posted on 30 Aug 2012, 10:10 0 0
Have you checked the Windows Phone Marketplace? I would guess 90% of popular apps are there. EA, Gameloft, SquareEnix, Microsoft Studios, Namco, Glu, etc, are all there with their top games, and I would say their quality is above that of 99% of Android apps (and compatibility, too), and there are also fewer clones/ports/duplicates of titles, hence the lower overall app population. Also, Microsoft is paying developers a good amount of money to develop better programs, and port popular ones from other ecosystems to Windows/WindowsPhone. Zynga (WWF, DS, etc) is supposedly coming within the next few weeks, as well.
As for the camera, considering its borderline DSLR quality and replacement for a point-and-shoot, I can give plenty of leeway for a slight bulge for a superior camera, since it's one device in my pocket instead of 2, or one "jack-of-all-trades" device where I don't feel I need to lug around something else for everyday interactions. Similarly, since it's very likely that any Lumia PureView sensor would be around 20-21MP, the sensor (and bulge) would be significantly smaller (if any at all).

why so defensive? am I not allowed to have MY FAVORITE APPS. And as a previous Windows phone owner, 90% of the apps I need are not in the windows marketplace.
And I'm saying that if it's anywhere near the looks of the Pureview 808 then I'll pass since it is too ugly for my taste.
