Thats a deal breaker. Doesnt matter how much connectivity it has, the browser must not be compromised.
Browser = 50% usage, camera/connectivity = 5%.
Atleast it has Google maps, when you spend 4bil to buy a map company, you should improve it with search and local POIs, not keep it stuck in the same little hole.

The 808 reminds me of N8 hype. They hyped the camera, and when I got the phone, I was stunned by the beta OS that was on that phone. It was the most horrible user experience I had. Forward few years later, and we got the same thing, 808, you only see advertised camera performance. I bet the OS is just as crappy relative to the comepetition, as was N8 few years back. Too bad, but I think Pureview will do better on a smooth OS like WP8

I for one am giving no more of my money to Nokia.
Goodbye and Good Riddance Nokia.
Fool me 20 times, my fault.
Fool me a 21st time, well I'm not that dumb.

Having said that, I have a bit more positive view of the Lumia now than only a few days ago. The UI is remarkable and the everyday experience is very good. I hope WP8 turns out to be good, or Nokia is dead.
You get the 808 for the camera first, then what you get is a lots of coolness in the form of Belle and HW.
