Nokia 808 Pureview available in stores in May

Nokia today said that the 41 megapixel monster Nokia 808 PureView will be available in stores in India and Russia in May. Nokia did not reveal exactly when the 808 PureView will be available in the rest of the world, only that "Additional countries will be announced in the near future"

Nokia also announced that the co-operation with Carl Zeiss will continue in the future. Carl Zeiss was a crucial partner with the development of the 808 PureView.

Because of its photographic capabilities, the 808 PureView was awarded the Best New Mobile Handset during the Mobile World Congress earlier this year. We have met the 808 PureView on several occasions, and our first impression of the camera is that the 808 PureView has set the standard for years to come.
