Symbian has moved on now and now running belle,carla is next..
I was a prolific nokia fan myself until last year when i had enough,but ive had a few test devices sent out,now currently testing the nokia 603 Running on symbian belle and there is vast improvements..
I believe there is talk to move this camera to windows phone.
Windows phone is not my cup of tea but its fast and responsive.

I think nokia have come back with this new 808 pureview,it redefines camera phones now and may gain back nokia fans,symbian this time last year was said to be dead but all of a sudden its back to life,the developers need to get their finger out now or its goodbye..

hopefully i will have a test model soon so i can report info here...

They confirmed it at WMC that it would be coming to Nokia's Windows Phone's. The only reason its not on a Nokia Windows phone is because it was well into the development before Nokia signed up with Microsoft. Time constraints meant Nokia could not develop the tech fast enough for it to roll out onto Microsoft's mobile OS.

Will it suit windows phone though?

Removable battery!
Tripod accessory. Jeez I could do with that for my N8.

It looks like it'll be harder for it to slip out of your hand with it being a candybar design.

It has removable battery,its microsim and has microsd expansion slot...

I don't really get the question?

Anyway the pure view technology they have will work on any megapixel camera in the future. So they will bring out 10,12,15 megapixel camera phones with a smaller form factor and not just Windows Phone ones.

A few days ago the Nokia 808 PureView caused a lot of jaws to drop, only to be raised back up again to ask "wait, Symbian?" However, when you take into account that the PureView project started 5 years ago the things become clear - Windows Phone just didn’t exist back then.
Jo Harlow, Executive Vice President of smart devices at Nokia, spoke to a Finnish newspaper saying that the PureView technology is heading to a future Lumia phone. According to her, it shouldn't be too long before such a phone materializes.
Performance shouldn't be an issue - the Nokia 808 uses a single-core 1.3GHz processor with 512MB and it's a custom chip that does all the heavy lifting. That's well within reach of current WP7 phones though they'll have to adjust the processing for a Qualcomm platform.
But, of course, that doesn’t mean a Nokia Lumia PureView phone is just around the corner.
Either way, this phone can't come soon enough. Until then, you can have a look at the camera samples and check out our blog post on how PureView works. There's also our interview with Nokia's imaging guru, Damian Dinning.

I'm quite happy with the spped at which Meteor got the Lumia 800, only a mouth after Vodafone. It's only a €50 upgrade or so in 2 months but I'm not sure I'll upgrade with this in the pipeline. Having a good camera on my current N8 is fantastic.

Any confirmations on which operators will be carrying this folks ?

[jimmynokia]

None yet mainly due to the OS, same applies to the uk where symbian has less than 1% Market share..
I'm hoping to get it soon to test it myself,as I test devices.

Expecting a big, early price reduction if not taken up or will they keep it
low key like the N9 ? Kind of a proof of concept before bringing the tech
to WP ?

Most likely it will go the same route as the N9 sim free only, early suggestions the purview will retail at 600 euro some sites have it up for pre order, I would not pay that for an almost dead OS.

Rumoured WP8 Nokia handset with pureview.

[Discodog]

How copy proof is pureview ? Are their similar systems on the way from other manufacturers ?

Initially this will only appeal to a few who realise the benefits. But once the ability to zoom becomes well known it could be a winner. We all taken pics & longed to be able to zoom after the event.

[jimmynokia]

That's a fake seen it a bit back but Nokia are in the process of bringing pureview to Windows phone

[Jarren]

is this the final pricing ?
