Nokia 808 PureView launched at Rs. 33,899, hits shelves today

[Krow]

Some of the comments here feel so biased. I've tried the phone and the only real cons are that it is bulky, slightly heavy and has an outdated os.

The camera is brilliant both for pics and video. Music sounds amazing even on regular stereo headsets.

I would prefer this phone while travelling. Hate carrying bulky cameras.

Nokia began developing this phone five years ago. Guess what was the king OS then. That's right, symbian.

All said, a Pureview Lumia would be killer. But it's not like this phone is too overpriced or bad.

It is the first phone with optical zoom I think.
And guys its a 41MP sensor, in actual its not a 41MP camera.It can shoot upto 41MP.
In a month it will be available for 25k I guess after all 33k is the MRP of the handset, that happens with almost with every phone of Nokia

No optical zoom in this.
IIRC, Nokia N93 had 3X optical zoom, released way back in 2006/07 maybe.

 

[Terabyte]

Should be a great buy around 26k.

Edit :

IIRC Nokia 808 has 3x digital "lossless" zoom.
So I assume it is as good as having 3x optical zoom.

 

[noob]

crap OS , gr8 cam. Flop phone.

 

[sujoyp]

its camera is great...even photographers acknowledge it...yes the OS is old and crap but still usable but price of around 26k is good for it

U cant carry a SLR everytime and thats where phone cam comes handy and 808 can click perfect pictures under any conditions. check out the reviews of the camera,it looks really promising.
yaa..agreed that its a bit overpriced. probably it will come down in few months as other nokia phones did..

Yes, you are correct!

I agree with your comment.

Get your facts right!

Can't say yet.

Like I said 30k was sweet.

I read a detailed review of this phone. Everything is good, but I just fail to understand the logic behind 41 mp camera.....

I doubt that price will drop to 25K that soon.

Nokia is not interested in promoting this phone. It looks like they are just doing it for contractual obligations or something. They will release limited stocks and keep the price. Whoever needs it, will buy it at the price offered.

They are offering this so that the enthusiasts will appreciate PureView technology and hope they will jump when it is offered on Windows Phone platform later. This is like a beta test to debug the PureView technology.

Releasing in limited stocks means it will not be able to revive the Symbian platform and there are enough numbers to debug this technology too.

Yeah. I need to get it soon

Pureview is not coming to Windows at the moment, also WP 8 is yet to come, no pureview for WP8, so Pureview will take time to come to the Lumia(windows).

 

[aroraanant]

When it has a MRP of 33k, it will surely be available for 28k around in local market within 2 weeks

 

[noob]

Can't say yet.

No need to even wait. Lumia failed. so will PureView. I see 99.99% using Samsung /Micromax these days. remove the FANBOY cap and accept the reality

Lumia Did not Fail, sales are growing. You need to get out more often, micromax

lol...sales growing? ha ha...the number of free lumia handsets given on contests might now exceed the total sales of Lumia handsets ha ha

You need to get out more often, micromax

What i posted is a fact and my observations. i dont have any problems accepting facts. I myself own both , SGS as well as boring Lumia 800 phone.

 

[Empirial]

Would have bought this over "Force Close " if priced around 26k.

 

[noob]

Oh and speaking about sales ? Nokia to cut 10,000 jobs

lol..yeah..never did for any of their previous handsets..

Sure it does..but given that they have now started to use cash reserves,decline in market share and Now this job cuts... you dont need to be an expert to predict the future. RIM killed BB and Nokia killed themselves.

ROFL... best comment ever. Volume of sales(and hence market share etc) predict the rankings..not a Digit forum.

 

[d3p]

what is bloody wrong with this device ??? Otherthan the hefty mean minded price tag & outdated hardware...

Yet, you post at Digit Forums?

Nokia started aggressive contests and other stuff, since release of N96.

 

[noob]

Dude,this is a discussion forum so that we can share our views.

Secondly, "Digit Mag" top mobile rankings can't be considered to prove a point. It is done via market share. that's it. If it doesn't sales, then its flop/loss.
