Mike Z enthusiastic about the Nokia 808[/caption]
Photo enthusiasts are known to have GAS...not that kind of gas, it's what we call gear acquisition syndrome and it's the reason why we're always broke. Today we got our little paws on a new toy: The Nokia 808 Pureview Smartphone. You may have seen the video boasting this phone's whopping 41 megapixels and Zeiss lens. Unofficially dubbed a point and shoot killer, it promises to take high quality images that rival those taken with a DSLR. Them's some fighting words! Although we've only had a brief chance to test it out, it's evident that they've put a lot of thought into creating an all-in-one "game changer". My first impressions with the device: 1) Image quality is really top notch for a phone, but like anything new it takes a little acclimation to get good images. 2) Thanks to my high appreciation for Droids, Nokia's Symbian Belle OS leaves something to be desired. 3) It's on the heavy side and built like the brick it's first generation predecessors were known for.
Stay tuned for our full review!
