i want to buy nokia 808 purevew. please call me. i know some phone detail........................

The Nokia 808 lives up to its billing as the ultimate camera phone. It is very fast (thanks to the Symbian Belle OS), from lock to photo taken is about 2.5 seconds. Symbian Belle is a bit tricky to get used to, but far and away is the right OS for this type of camera phone.

The 41-megapixel snapper is the star of the show. Crammed with functions and producing pin-sharp, colourful snaps, this is the best we've seen on a smartphone.

Fantastic camera; grabs clear Full HD video; impressive battery life; decent performance

Outdated OS; disappointing virtual keyboard; few apps; chunky body

There will no doubt be people who will tell you that Symbian is out-classed by Android and iOS. In terms of apps, and perhaps the quality of the developer ecosystem, they are probably correct.

Camera; great features; lots of handy apps pre-installed; good email support; good battery life; fantastic call quality; music player

Display is low resolution compared to most; Symbian still confusing at times; too expensive

Truly staggering camera technology - it's such a shame Nokia chose to debut it on such an underwhelming smartphone

Happy with your phone's 8MP camera? Surely 41 of them would be preferable? Nokia thinks so, and is trying to prove the point with the 808 Pureview.

The Symbian-powered 808 Pure View boasts an unbelievable 41 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, paired with Dolby Digital Sound and 1080p HD video

The Nokia 808 PureView exists because smartphones have made compact cameras all but obsolete. A 41Mp camera strapped to a dated Symbian smartphone , the Nokia 808 PureView is a strange mix of awesome and awful, probably best viewed as a compact camera with low-end smartphone functions attached.

I have been using this phone for the last three months so though I would share my opinion. This phone does exactly what I need it to pretty much flawlessly. As a camera which I will always have with me it has allowed me to capture photos and videos with quite amazing sound which I would have...
