Nokia 808 PureView
Is a picture worth a thousand words? How about $700? That's the going price of the unlocked version of the Nokia 808 PureView, a phone with a 41-megapixel camera, the highest yet on such a device. The technology behind this camera enables some the best photos we've seen from a phone.
Pros:
- Takes amazing photos and videos
- Attractive design
- Good Maps and Navigation apps
Cons:
- Outdated Symbian operating system
- Low-resolution display
- No HDR mode
- Much fewer apps than Android and iOS

Nokia 808 PureView (Unlocked)
The Nokia 808 PureView ($699 list) is an engineering exercise and a collector's item. It's also a near-total failure as a modern smartphone. It packs an amazing 41-megapixel camera sensor, but thanks to an exceedingly long development time, the 808 PureView runs the archaic Symbian OS instead of...
Cons:
- No 4G
- Call connection issues
- Archaic Symbian OS is a relic
- Hit-or-miss touch response
- Few apps
- Some preloaded apps are broken
- Expensive even for an unlocked phone.

Pros:
- Amazing camera that's unparalleled in the current market
- showcases potential for Nokia's Windows Phone 8 devices
Cons:
- Symbian
- buggy
- underpowered
- very heavy
- feels like a proof-of-concept unit not a finished product

Nokia 808 PureView
"Price is really high. No one will buy such an old for this much. Yes it is around 16000 why would someone buy symbian with old specs seller get rid off such old phones with low price else you will suffer losses.

Nokia may be focusing primarily on the for its core smartphone range, but it still hasn't completely given up on Symbian. The company's latest Symbian phone is the 808 PureView, best described as a camera with a phone in it. A 41-megapixel camera. Yes, you read that right.
Pros:
- Impressive looking camera
- Xenon flash
Cons:
- Symbian OS
- Chunky design
- No word on AU release

Nokia 808 Pureview: Great Camera, But Not For Aussies
Like the concept behind the Nokia Pureview 808 and its 41-megapixel camera? You're going to have to import one, as Nokia's indicated that it won't be selling the phone in Australia.
