I bought this one as a backup to the one I already have. Reason? - with this phone, it is not a problem to record all calls automatically, whether on speaker, phone to the ear, or via bluetooth. Contrary to many modern phones, the battery is removable and it supports a microSD card for additional memory. Additional plus: it has a 41 megapixel camera with a technology that concentrates more visual information into each pixel recorded (Pureview). Plus, there is photography software available for the phone - still - that allows me to maximize the use of the camera hardware in the phone. Another killer app on this phone is SymDVR. Combined with Situations, my phone detects the bluetooth signal in my car and automatically starts the digital video recorder that records my drive during daylight hours, and ends it when I stop, at HD resolution. As long as it is charging, the battery store remains stable where it is. As a phone, it performs excellently. Voice comes through loud and clear, and it is considered a world phone, it has such a wide assortment of frequencies with which it is compatible. When it records audio, it features Dolby enhancement and when I use it as my music source, it is as high fidelity as the speakers or headphones through which I hear it. If you want a phone for video calls or posting on Facebook and such, this isn't your phone. But it you want a reliable phone that takes good pictures, consider this one.Read full review

A product with exellent phone and camera. I use this phone/camera because of my profession as a sales agent. In Landscape where I'm often driving, there is quite weak radiosignal. I've used models of other Brands and I must say that this model works much better than these. Internet works, but it's quite slow. Very good are also; Office Mobile, Navigation, Recording and Notes. For me it's really very easy to use. It works well even with one hand, the size is just what it must be. And of course the camera is Superb.

The Nokia 808 cellphone is pretty incredible. It is easy to use, has good build quality, and best of all an amazing camera. The operating system, Nokia (Symbian) Belle has a nice interface, it is fast and responsive, intuitive, and somewhat customizable. The web browser is good. It loaded all the pages I tried fairly fast and plays flash content. Nokia maps is great. You can download the maps over Wi-Fi or mobile data right on the phone. Once you have the maps saved on the phone, there is no need for a data connection of any kind. GPS connects very fast, often under a minute, and turn by turn voice navigation works as good if not better than a stand alone GPS. It even has the option to say street names. If you are using the maps with a data connection, you can have traffic updates. Office Mobile application from Microsoft comes with the phone and allows you not only read documents, spreadsheets, and power point, but you can edit them, and create your own. The camera on the phone opens up fast and has various shooting modes. You can choose to use the PureView mode which creates a 5 MP (or 8 or 3 MP ) image from the 41 MP sensor. What this does is create very nice images in a small size format. The 5 MP image will look comparably better than a 5 MP image from other cameras or phones. Another option is to keep the image at 41 MP (38 MP in 4:3 aspect and 34 MP in 16:9 aspect). This creates incredible images. I compared the images to my Sony a55 DSLR with a Tamron 90mm macro lens, and was very impressed with what the 808 can do. Camera allows selection of various scene modes, ISO settings, and white balance settings. There are however, no aperture, or shutter controls. The camera application can connect to GPS and tag your photographs with GPS coordinates. Video recording, like still photos is also very good. The 41 MB sensor allows you to zoom in losslessly. Recording at 1080p allows for a 4x lossless zoom. Video bit rate is around 20 000 kbps. Sound recording is great also, and will record at a loud concert with no distortion. The phone has many other interesting features, but one which is fairly rare to see on a cellphone is FM transmitter. This option allows you to play music through the phone and broadcast it on a chosen FM frequency. I tested this feature with a home audio receiver connected to nice speakers, and in a car using the car radio. It works well and the sound quality is pretty good. The Nokia 808 came in a small box. Inside along with the phone and battery, was a cable for data transfer and charging through USB, a wall adapter for charging, headphones with microphone, and small instruction booklet (not in English). The phone has mini HDMI output for which the cable is not included. 808 can also connect to a USB drive for file transfers, however the required cable is not included. I have personally compared the 808 to Galaxy Nexus, and iPhone 4, and found the 808 to be the best. Even with low screen resolution, and single core CPU, the 808's interface, performance, features, and build quality make it a winner for me.

Hate Symbian? Think of this as a camera with phone functions. There's a ton of things to love about this phone. Main highlights- #Awesome camera with xenon flash #4" AMOLED display (The popping colors compensate for the low resolution) #Removable battery and good battery life expandable storage (64gb works as well. tried and tested) #HDMI output #USB host (otg) #FM transmitter #Great offline maps for navigation and many more. #Good build quality and Dolby headphone technology the bad- Not too many apps and the appstore is no more. But you're diverted to the Opera store which only has a lot of indie games. But basic apps like facebook, whatsapp and viber is there. This is a better and cheaper alternative for a point and shoot camera or an iPod or an entry level phone. All these for $120? hell yeah!Read full review
