It's easy to make a decision based on quality alone, the RX100 produces images much more detailed than the 808 due to it having much larger resolution while retaining clarity and noise free images as good as the 808, so RX100 wins its just common sense really. But when it comes to overall compactness and of course mobility 808 would be the preference. Anyway the two are for different types of users anyway, and at smaller resolutions, there will hardly be any noticeable difference.

@cu015170: you're forgetting Canon G1x and RX1 dude, Rx100 is hardly the best compact camera at all >_>
nevertheless judging by the resized pics, I'll give the win to 808 for corner to corner sharpness, however RX100 (without a question) is by far superior in so many ways (faster lens, depth of field, optical Zoom, manual mode, higher guide mode for flash and burst shooting) for its purpose

The g1x is hardly compact/pocketable, and the RX10 costs over $2500 for some reason..
In terms of price and compactness, nothing comes closer to the 808 than the RX100. In terms of quality.. the rx100 is a bit better, but not by much really. |

Yes those two are larger, pricier, cameras but you can't deny the fact that they're the benchmark for all compact cameras especially the RX1. besides if picture quality (JPEG) is the only thing to compare 808 surely comes very close, no question about that, but remember those stuffs are designed for more than just taking high quality images. besides it's pretty dumb to put the RX100 along side 808 and compare them as they are of completely different species. besides I'd personally get the RX100 anytime if all I ever wanted was taking high quality pictures. no offense there mate
my apologies for the off topic post, but personally I think people should stop comparing these two as they serve different purposes, by which either of them should do the job better depending on the user's needs/skills and preference

There are both consumer imaging devices.. I don't see why you wouldn't compare them 
But yes, completely different segment, different user base overall. If I had to pick 3 devices for an imaging arsenal, it would be:
808 - always with me. To have that kind of imaging power in your pocket at all times is priceless for an amateur photographer.
RX100 - just to change it up a bit, experiment, zoom, etc.
Nikon D800 - 50mm 1.4 lens, and something longer for landscapes. I would use it to shoot sport events, long exposure, etc.

^ which is very important 
I use my phone for audio recording quite a bit... the only issue was that the built in audio recorded didn't take advantage of rich recording, so every time I wanted to record some music played live, I had to turn on the camera.
Just found this: http://store.ovi.com/content/357740
from the same guys who made camera pro, obviously they know how to code for Symbian very well.
This thing turns the 808 into an amazing audio recording device.
Features:
- Uncompressed recording with up to 96kHz in stereo!
- Optimized for Nokia 808 PureView (but works well on other devices too!)
- Codecs: uncompressed PCM audio, AAC, AMR
- Formats: WAV, 3GP, MP4
- Settings for: mono, stereo, bit rates, storage location, input (microphone, voice, FM-ratio (FP1 only), etc.)
I just tested it and it works great... recommended for anyone who needs audio recording only. |

1 year later.. I am yet to find a better smartphone for my needs. Very happy with the work Nokia did on this device, and I am glad they released it to the public.. for a moment there I thought we will never see it.

You could easily find one.. amazon, ebay.. for under $400, there are still plenty of units out there.
I am not sure if they are still in production tho.. it might in "until supplies last" mode at this point. I plan on getting a second spare unit at some point.

^ the WP version (EOS) is supposed to come out towards the end of summer... the 808 will get cheaper and cheaper, and that will make it harder to resist.
I wish Nokia would at least share the specs on the EOS so we know what to expect at least.. and maybe some images to compare the IQ
lemmy can you share that green wallpaper with us ? Looking good
if you ever want to venture out in to the CFW world, I recommend this one:
http://forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=77842.0
If anything, the Nokia Pure font from the N9 looks much better than the stock font.
Also, make sure to apply the latest 3G update:
http://www.allaboutsymbian.co[....]e_FP2_devices_get_a_3G_net.php
It helps with the HSPA bug, if you have it.. your 808 might be a newer built.
Also, I see that you are using the contact scroll widget.. I used to use it as well, but I've been using the new single contact thing and its working better for me.. one tap for call/text
