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.

Fair Enough!

Is useless.Because its symbian.Nokia is supposedly trying to revive the symbian market with this phone.

Nokia is working on pureview on windows phones..

Nope. Nokia is NOT reviving Symbian ever. This probably happened because the whole thing was developed on Symbian (as a previous poster has said, PureView started around 5 years back when Symbian was the king)

Unfortunately as Nokia have stated, Windows Phone is not yet capable enough for PureView. It should appear there later.

Right now they need to survive until then. They are just doing a Kingfisher here

Yes, this 808 could be the last symbian smartphone! Ofc, there will be S40 and S30 series phones, but I don't classify them as smartphones at all!

Those who want to see the Pureview imaging feat ! Take the blind test here

PureView, as a technology should be appreciated. Whether it achieves enough sells or not is another question.
I am impressed by PureView and Nokia's desire to give something radically different and innovation. Great job Nokia!

Hmmm... Looks like they launched it with EXTREMELY limited stocks.

most probably they are selling only the prototypes when they built over the past 5 years /trollface

 

[purnaprusty66]

This price is really too much.

 

[Candid]

Guess HS18 has a superdeal on pureview sometime. I'd be interested in seeing their price. Fk has it at full price, while other sites have it at around 32-33k. I don't expect Nokia to drop prices of pureview themselves.

I found this on a disgus comment section and wanted to share which I envied pureview camera

If camera is the big thing, then I'd get a Nikon D3100 for that price.

 

[tarey_g]

Stupid price, as usual. No surprise.

 

[puli44]

looks like china phone only...,except camera nothing is useful..

 

[rider]

Little bit overpriced, should be in 28-30k. It's best for a journalist, photographer and those who wants to capture DSLR quality pictures from their phone anytime.

What a way to sign off then. The Pureview is revolutionary.

 

[coderunknown]

Maybe its true. Highend Symbian mobiles are not selling well and totally discontinued in US. Makes sense but S40 will continue to be sold. They are like Nokia's pocket money.

So, Nokia N9 ---> end of Meego
Nokia Pureview ---> end of Symbian
