Agreed,camera enthusiasts will by a SLR camera,phone enthusiats would buy a much better phone than the 808. The 808 is be in a small niche sale category

how can u be certain and you don't know everyone is the world so stop making ridiculous claim. no one said it was made to turn the smartphone market upside down its another category for camera-phones so people can still buy these

It's a phone, not your mother. Quit being so offended that someone has higher standards for a phone.

Actually there's a LOT of talk online about people ditching their compact cameras, their Androids, their iPhones and their N8's (current best phone camera in the world until the 808 appears) and replacing them all with the 808 Pureview. Quite a few SLR owners too are wondering why they're carrying around bulky, heavy, very expensive SLR cameras when for many shots the 808 will be superior. Seriously, it's that good.

yes..

i, too, agree that 808 is one of, if not the best device at MWC, quad core phones are great, but quad core technology was already introduced few months prior, the good thing is that it is making ways to phones in MWC.. but that camera sensor, that's a really new thing!

but again, the best device doesn't mean it will grab the most sales.. i voted for the 808 due to its technological breakthrough, but honestly speaking, i will not buy it.. i lean more for the honourable mention one..

Actually the phone is amazing. Tell me the truth: have you used Nokia Belle? Most people who've upgraded their phones to it think it's amazing, like having a whole new phone, and easily as good as iPhone or Android.

People will still have their preferences of course, but there is just no way you can claim the phone is not amazing. The features in the hardware and in Symbian beat every other phone on the planet hands down.

The screen res is fine because you can't see the pixels in normal use anyway so higher res screen is totally pointless.

Unlike Android, Symbian does not need a fast processor. N8 with 680 Mhz processor and Belle is clearly faster than many 1GHz+ Androids. However, the 808 Pureview has a 1.3 Ghz processor, it also has probably the most powerful GPU out there, and again unlike Android, Symbian uses the GPU fully for most of the OS and UI.

Furthermore, Nokia have always been renowned at making phones with far better build quality, signal strength, battery life, call quality and so on than ANY of the competition. This is proven time and time again.

The fact is they have all this in the 808, an even better OS again with Belle Feature Pack 1 (which no one has used yet in public) and they have just produced a camera that beats everything else in the world inside or outside a phone, hands down.

Sorry dude, but that's the facts, and you're going to have to accept it!

Judging by the incredible reception the 808 has got it will sell millions and millions and millions.

good point :)

U have some good points, but in general your definition of smartphone is wrong. Web browsing is only one of many things important in smartphones.
