Holy clap!
The view is impressive. No doubt this phone has made a difference with its camera, including the 12mp.
By the way, was this you who took the photos?
Note: I'm not afraid of heights because I've not been so high(not that high).

Fortunately being a bit of a climber and abseilor, well more of a canyoner really, I'm not scared of heights at all and this looks fantastic!
I work near the top of One Canada Square at Canary wharf which was the tallest building in UK until recently as the new Shard at London Bridge, although still being built, has taken that crown. However these are both still only 1/4-1/3 as high as the Burj Khalifa.
They really should offer a platform to step outside at the top much like you can do at the Grand Canyon, or at Sydney's Centrepoint Tower.
N8 really does take some great pics. I wish I could get my son to post some here as he has made some great pics and videos using his N8, especially doing the stupid/crazy parcour stuff he does with his mates

Great pics. I am not scared of heights as long as I know I am safe. Having had an N8 yes it is an impressive camera indeed.
Phone?? What phone?? |

Unfortunately, the levels above are business owned/resident owned and I heard something of there being a laboratory at the top as well.
Please, it may not be safe to stand outside at the very top; the building apparently sways slightly at the very top.
