1. I'm pretty sure that officially Nokia can be announced dead only when it will bankrupt or will be bought but currently it is walking dead man. In my opinion Microsoft will buy Nokia while everything might be more fun actually. There is nothing anymore what could make Nokia profitable again as it is. At least I don't see anything.
2. What new apart PureView technology I have in my Nokia 808 I could not get in other phones and still consider innovative in hardware? I really find PureView interesting but overall I'm not satisfied with it - it is not that much better than N8 (http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/15051_Nokia_N8_vs_808_PureView_Camer.php http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/15051_Nokia_N8_...). I really would love to see PureView in DSLR camera but not in smartphone.
I love Nokia phones but let's be fair - Nokia as we know is dead. Future of Windows Phone Nokia is uncertain and personally I as developer don't care about it being successful.
- Happy Nokia PureView 808 owner
- aik 14y agoConcerning 1: What about their Lumia and future Windows Phone line? Or their future tablets? I agree that the future of Windows Phone is uncertain, but it has been gaining a lot of popularity, press, and very high customer satisfaction lately. With Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 coming out soon, I believe it has a lot of potential. For example, I often speak with Android users and I don't often come across an Android user that loves their device (unless they're very techy). Meaning, it just doesn't seem to be for the mass market. Alternatively, WP phone is extremely simple. The reason I say this is because if the above is true, there's a good possibility Nokia will be the ones selling the vast majority of WP phones, and there's a seriously large market for the range of devices WP can run on. Concerning 2: Just curious, what's the main thing about PureView that got you interested in it and got you to buy it?
- daliusd 14y ago1. We will see. I really don't know but I really don't care as well. WP7 is already nice - I have played a little bit with it but I don't care about it. It is good but it is boring. I don't like it (N950 with poor hardware is much more interesting). My next phone will be Android most probably (while BlackBerry 10, Tizen or bada are considerable options as well). I'm open source/free culture geek and if I can I will avoid walled gardens what WP is. 2. I don't bought it I won it in Nokia's PureView competition. I personally wouldn't spend 700$ on this phone - there are better ways to spend such amount of money that I consider big enough for me. I could buy Samsung Galaxy S3 for this amount of money.
