How will we ever know?

The N9 and the 808 are the last two real "high end" Nokia phones.. so being a Nokia supporter, I am getting both, and I plan on using the 808 as a daily phone. I've been using the N8, and it does everything I need it to do.. I don't see why the 808 would be any different.

Your just naive if you think 808 will have a life? Nokia has already killed it. Its not even marketed in northeuropean and all they talk here is about "how pureview will come to WP in the future blablabla"
II would definitivly NOT buy anything comming from Nokia after last weeks "announcement"
Nokia is done. Theyr just Microsoft company now.

Many people on this very site, me included, have expressed quite a bit of interest. I think it is obviously a success. Of course, success is a relative term...

We make up the part that companies that can afford to lose in some situations.

The results from the camera are, as expected, stunning. Symbian Belle FP1 is good, although I've seen smoother Android implementations. There are enough apps to meet many of the needs I have.
My N9...remains a beautiful device. Both in its H/W and its S/W. It all comes together in a way that Symbian (or Android) can't touch. When I need to launch the app list on the 808 I think, "oh, a button. How quaint."
Annoyingly I'll probably end up carrying two devices. The 808 as a "camera I always have with me - and one that has an open network connection" and the N9 for everything else.

How would people that own Pureview respond to this review:
"The Nokia 808 PureView comes with a WebKit browser with support for multiple windows. That's about where the positives end. The browser is very slow compared to modern browsers on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, or even BlackBerry, and scrolling and zooming are nothing but frustrating and slow. I also had the browser crash on numerous occasions while trying to load a website that other browsers have no trouble with. The 808's low-resolution display does not help matters at all, as it is nearly impossible to read any text on a web site without zooming in significantly. The browser would have offered a passable experience in 2005, but here in 2012, it is just a waste of time. "
