New Nokia 808

The Nokia 808 Pureview wasn't meant to be a surprise, but with a 41MP camera and 1080p video recording, it certainly seems to have turned out that way. The phone is running Symbian Belle, and will probably be one of, if not the, last top end Symbian device to hit the market before all the cool technology gets chucked into Windows Phone. We spent some time with the large-sensored monster, and it certainly is a beast when it comes to picture taking. We're going to spend a lot of time looking at the camera on this new top-end cameraphone, but let's take a quick look at the software underneath.We're looking at the end of Symbian – there's no idea whether it's going to continue beyond Belle, but at least it's a half decent OS these days (although sadly shows how good the N8 could have been a couple of years ago.)The build of the phone isn't that impressive if we're honest – there's a hark back to the likes of the Nokia N97 in the plastic build of the case, and the plastic hard keys on the front are a little cheap-feeling, which we don't expect this phone to be.Overall, the Nokia 808 Pureview is pretty much the phone Nokia wanted to make – a bog standard Symbian phone that won't set any pulses racing until its flipped over and the full might of the camera is realised. It's the Nokia N8 made a lot more acceptable to the average consumer that loves to take pictures on the go – but we're more looking forward to seeing similar things on Windows Phones rather than lauding this as the ultimate cameraphone just yet.
