OK well not exatly 41 million reasons however the Nokia 808 Pureview IS interesting to most geeks and camera enthusiests because of its 41 megapixel camera it sports. And no — that is not a typo. 41 megapixels! According to sources, Nokia should be making the announcement no later than this afternoon sometime. The same sources said the company has been suggesting something related to the megapixel-ish phone since yesterday in a cryptic post on its official Facebook account so it looks like it will finally drop. One odd thing about the phone (other than the insane camera) is that although Nokia is going all-in with the Windows Phone OS (an OS that predictions say will grow a lot in the future), it runs Symbian. Huh? Yeah, we thought that was dead as well. But since the phone has been around for a bit and already for sale in Europe and Asia, it makes sense. But honestly, people won’t be buying this mobile phone for the OS or for its looks for that matter – it’s pretty bulky. It’s a phone you’ll be buying for the camera, a whopping 41 megapixel one. In terms of megapixels, it’s the best camera you’ll find in a phone at the moment. Call me old fashioned, but I get the best results by using a camera to take pictures. You can purchase a Canon EOS t3i for a it more than half the cost of this phone. Comment Name * Email *
