so impressed with this phone that I ended up buying one last week, best decision in the last 12 months I've made.
Love the quality.

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.

There's a workaround for widening the DR and avoiding highlight clipping.
I use to decrease contrast to -1 and decreasing also the EV a bit. It helps a lot. Try it yourself.

I will give it a go.. the problem with that is that you might end with a darker image... but yes, sounds like a good alternative. Thanks for the info! |

^ the 808 would do that to most phones... the only exception being the HTC One (because its using Nokia technology) and some of the Lumias, but they all record in mono at a lower bitrate .. 100 kbps vs. 256kbps
In fact, you can go crazy with the 808 and this app:
lossless codecs with up to 2000+ kbps .. proper sound recording. http://store.ovi.com/content/357740

Totally agree! I get my email, send text, take photos and as of a few weeks ago can now upload to directly to skydrive. No need nor desire for a "mainstream" OS

Same here..
For skydrive uploads you could use this slightly older version, which has auto upload.. it works great!

WHAAAT!!! I think that's the .sis I've been searching for months on end now.... is that the ORIGINAL version that was from microsoft which they pulled of the phone when FP2 was added?

Yes, that's it..
Of course, now they are trying to take away features from it.. but, ironically, its in fact better than the one they have for WP since it let's you upload originals (even the 38Mpix files) straight to SkyDrive over both, wifi and 3G.
If you are using AT&T and you have the unlimited plan.. its perfect. I have the skydrive app on my PC, so I don't even connect the phone to it to transfer pics anymore...

Really enjoying that black cover on the white phone..
So on the red and the white version the hump is painted black, and on the black phone, the hump is kind of grey.. So that makes it stand out.
I am kind of picky in terms of aesthetics, so to get the 808 in the first place was a bit of stretch.. and despite the fact that I liked the contrast on the white one, I always thought that I would like it better if the hump was a bit more visibly hidden, and I was right.
The black cover kind of blends it in with the rest of the phone in more.. subtle way.. its only a visual illusion, but it does work.
I recommend it to white 808 owners. |
