Nokia 808 PureView is a camera engineering marvel - are you getting one?

And "wow" it is - there is no arguing that the Nokia 808 PureView will be the most sophisticated cameraphone out there, but with 41MP sensor at the gigantic for a phone 1/1.2" surface, and simplified lens crafted with record precision, we are nearing DSLR territory. The photography blogs are already abuzz with the silent lossless zoom, pixel oversampling and low-light capabilities of this sensor, which can rival a lot less compact devices. By going for lossless zoom without optics to add bulk, distort the frame and introduce noise while filming, Nokia has managed to make the module in the 808 PureView 50-70% smaller than a conventional optical zoom solution, allowing it to fit the PureView Pro technology into a phone.

This is all for the photography buffs out there, though, and there are a lot of them, so you can feast on all the glory details about the engineering marvel that is the Nokia 808 PureView sensor in its short but concise white paper, or our own summary. 

What we are interested in is whether you are intrigued by Nokia's bombshell device as a phone, and if you are planning to get one the day it comes out, or are already distracted by something else. Checkmark our little poll and sound off in the comments below.
