Sorry, the camera comment wasn't in relation to your blueprint (which I loved and thanked you for!)

I also read the articles on the camera. I'm really glad that Nokia is taking optics seriously and moving beyond just applying a noise filter to the camera output. I even see that they said they are using a larger chip (1/1.83", iirc).

That being said, I'm not convinced that the same results, or better, couldn't be achieved with a lower resolution sensor. Basically, at around 2 microns per pixel (or 8MP or so for this size chip) you simply aren't able to resolve any additional image detail. There is a great explanation of why this is here: http://petavoxel.wordpress.com/2010/...raction-fraud/

The only reason to have a 12MP camera is for marketing, i.e., "you think 6MP on the iPhone is good, check out our TWELVE MP phone!" Maybe this sort of marketing is what Nokia needs to get back in the game, but I want to buy from a company that presumes for, rather then against its customer's intelligence.
