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.

Was buggy, now ROCK SOLID
I absolutely love this phone! It fits my needs to a T - although my needs may not be the same as yours. For instance, I'm not a social butterfly and don't do Facebook or Twitter. What I do love about this phone is the amazing camera and video capabilities, music playback/streaming abilities, and...

Great camera phone for under $600. Nice navigation and map system.
I've purchased the Nokia 808 PureView mainly for photography purposes and when I received it I was surprised by other features of this phone as well. The camera quality is excellent for a smartphone like this.

Best of the bests
It was an awesome moment for me when i received my courier package of Nokia 808 pureview. Also in the package an original nokia hard cover was provided. I always insist on purchasing anything from flipkart rather than going to any other online shopping websites.

Amazing Camera; Decent Phone
I've been using the Pureview 808 for about six weeks. In that time I've taken over a 1300 exposures. Here is what I love and what I don't love.

For anyone like myself waiting to upgrade a current handset the market can be confusing as to which one is best for us all ? Which operating system will give us the best apps and user experience so on and so fourth !

Nokia 808 PureView Review
The Nokia 808 PureView is quite simply, in a class of its own when it comes to its photographic abilties. The highest-resolution capture mode (the 38MP figure that grabbed the headlines when it was released) is only part of the story. PureView oversampling means that the 808 gives truly excellent image quality in its 3, 5 and 8MP capture modes, and we love the amount of manual control over shooting parameters. The 808 is let down by less than perfect color and white balance, and occasional focus issues.
Pros:
- Excellent detail resolution in all modes
- Very good image quality - detailed, colorful JPEGs
- Impressive photographic feature set - controllable ISO, WB, scene modes et al
- Generally reliable AF and metering
- Automatic white balance works well in all but the trickiest of light
- PureView allows 'zoom' without penalty in image quality
- Excellent video quality (and sound)
Cons:
- Highlight clipping problematic in scenes with wide tonal range
- No automatic HDR/dynamic range expansion function (but bracketing is available)
- Metering can be rather wayward in bright light
- On-screen histogram only available while exposure compensation dialog is open
- Interface somewhat dense in 'creative' mode
- Obscure on-screen icons for ND filter and white balance in creative mode
- On-screen ISO indication just shows 'M' when any setting other than Auto is selected
- Non-optical 'zooming' doesn't allow control over depth of field
- No image stabilization in still capture mode
- Red-eye can be an issue in flash shots (but red-eye reduction works well)
