I'm not here to create a debate, but how hard could it be for Nokia to make a pureview on vanilla android? Just put a powerful processor and price it high. It WILL sell, and would make a lot of people happy, not me, I'm not overly enthusiastic about photography, but a lot of people are. 1080p screen too.
It's not hard, they just have Elop. |

Exact same problem they have with Windows NT... the Phase 1 system (in its current form) was designed around a real-time OS, which is what Symbian is, and it will be hard to port that over. Its not impossible, its just time consuming.
Win NT and Andro are both on monolithic kernel.
And, why would you want to ruin the phone with spyware such as Android ? I would stay away from it.. |

Lots of different ways you can arrange your home screens on an 808 .. or any Symbian 10.x device

Cameraphone Super - Test: Low-Light Indoors Pictures 
(Nokia 808 Vs Samsung G S IV Vs Sony Xperia Z Vs Samsung G Note II Vs Apple iPhone 5 Vs SE C901 Vs SE Elm)
Minor notes:
* The various cameraphones have very different angles of view, i.e. some cover a much smaller arc in front of the lens. This, in part, explains why the subjects - all cropped to the same degree - appear different sizes in the comparisons. The other factor is, of course, the resolution the photos were taken in.
* The Nokia 808 was set at 8 megapixels (in its PureView Creative mode), to better match the resolutions of the other camera phones here (13MP, 13MP, 8MP, 8MP, 5MP and 5MP respectively).
* All phones (except 808) were left on NIGHT SHOT MODE throughout, apart from manually controlling flash on/off for the low light test.
Nokia 808: 2,70Sec, ISO 400
Samsung Galaxy S IV: ? s, ISO ? (In picture mode multiple exposures are ostensibly recombined into one image)
Sony Xperia Z: 1/8Sec, ISO 800
Samsung Galaxy Note II: ? s, ISO ? (In picture mode multiple exposures are ostensibly recombined into one image)
Apple iPhone 5: 1/15Sec, ISO 3200
Sony Ericsson C901: 1/2Sec, ISO 400
Sony Ericsson Elm: 1/2Sec, ISO 80
Comments welcome, as always.

Considering how slow the shutter and the focus systems are, these shots are indeed impressive. By slow I mean compared to a high end compact or a DSLR.
The 808 camera has 4 main issues:
1. Highlight clipping/weak DR
2. Slow shutter
3. Capricious focus system
4. Video stabilization
There is a fifth one concerning true macro shots, but .. that more of a physical limitation. The lens is too big, but it has to be because if the sensor.
Overall the 808 is a proper compact camera.. don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I am sure that they are working on improving the whole system, and there is room for improvement.

As long as they improve it by the time they bring out the Nokia EOS unicorn i'll be happy.

Hm.. they also say that the GS4 has a better flash, which is impossible. |

Xperia Z is an excellent smartphone with a disappointing digital camera! |

Good article here:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/[....]/nokia_808_pureview_revisited/
Last year Nokia released to the world a mobile phone that is still unique. It's a smartphone with a 41-megapixel camera sensor, scooping up more detail than some professional DSLRs: it's the PureView 808.
When I say "released", that’s a little misleading. This showpiece won the Best New Phone gong at last year’s Mobile World Congress, but it was hard to buy. Since the phone ran Symbian OS, it was considered toxic by carriers, and it was not distributed in the UK.
So for the past year the 808 has had a crepuscular presence. It’s lived on, in a spooky afterlife: Nokia wanted you to know about it, and prominently placed the thing on the front page of its main website – but it did not want you to actually buy it. Nokia had already transferred some 3,000 Symbian engineers to Accenture, and last February cancelled all Symbian devices on its phone road map bar the 808.
Yet, something unexpected has happened. The 808 as been quietly receiving lots of loving care and attention. Regular updates and tweaks have continued from the Other Side, including a major overhaul of the OS late last year. Every update is expected to be the last. But still they keep coming, and if anything, the pace is accelerating.
Over the past few weeks I’ve attempted to live with a PureView 808. And it’s been an interesting and surprising experience. This is the first Symbian phone I’ve used regularly in four years and it isn’t quite how I remembered Symbian.
