My brother when he first seen the name Lumia he thought it said Lumix like Panasonic cameras.

If im honest, I think in this day and age i'd still probably choose the 1020 over the 808. For the following reasons:
- more fluid OS
- better low light performance
- better video recording
- better screen resolution
- more personal interest in WP now that Symbian has been discontinued
- pictures are impressive, if a little noisey
and just as key, why I wouldn't buy a 808 before the 1020:
- lack of support regarding software updates
- eventual starvation of batteries
- poorer video even though it is impressive
- low screen resolution
Ive wanted a 808 since the day it was announced, but sadly I think its too late now to get one.

I still see plenty around on the net some in UK with the 808. I would choose the 1020 for the same reasons but I don't want one am not fond of it. The 5 meg pics on GSM Arena look great with detail etc by the 38mp pics are average.

Theres no such thing as an average 38mp image ! 
I don't like the rear of the 1020 one bit. I hate the yellow version. I would go for black every time. That circle is horrible for the camera island. The 808 is beautiful, but sadly hard to get a brand new one from a reputable seller, aswel as suffering from the problems listed above.
Which ever one I bought I wouldn't use it as my main phone, if I did buy one. I would use it as a backup phone and camera on days out. I don't believe in compact cameras anymore. Its either a cameraphone, or a DSLR. Cameraphones have bridged the gaps.

In one video unboxing they showed a leaflet Nokia put in the box stating not to worry if you hear something rattling inside your 1020. It's the OIS that rattles and Nokia didn't want to have loads of complaints about it as its quite normal

The full resolution images of the 1020 are what you would normally get from 1.1 micron pixels. You should look at the Nikon D800 if you want something better at that kind of resolution. It has a full frame sensor so despite the 36Mpix count it still clocks at 4.9 microns
Its important to understand the basics of imaging 
etaab ... there are plenty of N8 and 808 batteries around, I have 4.. they fit on both phones.
The 1020 doesn't even have a user replaceable battery

PS.......no it doesn't
Please read what has been said :
" Asking me to pick between an 808 and a Lumia 1020 is a very tough call. However, much as I love the venerable old N8, I'd pick the Lumia 1020 in a heartbeat"
He also states not to read too much into the sores given.
"Don't take the scores too seriously though, since any result here will depend hugely on the choice of subjects and how often (or rarely) I allowed PureView zoom at capture time. I picked the subjects almost at random but tried to include as wide a variety as possible"

Very close call in terms of IQ.. I would pick the N8 for most cases.
