got a Pureview 808, happy with the camera, as expected.

Symbian Belle feels familiar since I got tired of the waiting for the ultimate Meamo phone and after getting rid of the N9 I had settled with a 2nd hand N8 (obviously for the camera and the function completeness, not the beauty of its interface)

Getting Symbian to hang is not a difficult assignment to me. I already had to remove the battery one time (during 1 week of use). Since you can remove the battery the trick of pressing power button for an extended period does not always help to restore control over a hanging 808.


Built feels much more solid and ergonomic than for example the N9 and for that the Lumia's.

-there is a protective rubber border around the display on which the phone rests facing screen down on a flat surface. That is how robust devices should be designed. The old Nokia surfaces one more time.

-the plastic mat housing feels solid and not slippery, nevertheless this phone looks like a solid dropper but I am not in a hurry to test it.

-the much dreaded (in the light of anorexian display centered designs) bump of the camera gives the design a less boring and more organic appearance and provides support for letting the device resting on the index finger when making phone calls (yes it does great in this field too).

Last but not least, It takes great quality pictures right here, right now.

Very happy with this device, an easy compromise.
