SlideShow: Nokia's 808 PureView Symbian smartphone with 41 Megapixel camera

A mobile photographer's dream device, the Nokia 808 PureView features a 41-Megapixel camera that can capture great detail in photos and HD video. Currently a Europe-only handset, the Nokia 808 PureView shows us a glimpse of what is possible in future Nokia handsets. Having used the device for a few days now, I can say that the camera is superb and has a good range of control. Symbian may not be everyone's cup of tea these days but the 808 PureView is a solid all around phone and makes it possible to leave that point-and-shoot or video camera at home. I like it so much, I might order my own. This is the bold and forward-looking Nokia we know and love.
