808 Pureview up for Pre-Order in India
Quick tip, anyone itching to get their hands on the 808 can now register online via Nokia India to preorder/be informed once it’s available; frankly I’m surprised it hasn’t launched yet in India, but from what I understand the first countries to get it will be the MEA region (Lebanon, Jordan…)- first time we ever get a phone first. As a matter of fact the launch was a week or two ago and they’re just waiting for the shipments to arrive now.
Go ahead and pre-order yours here:
Thanks to Prashant for the tip

i left the tip a day earlier …. Anyways nice to see this news up in mnb ….. This isnt exactly a pre order page … Just to register ur self .. So the nokia guys contact u wen its ready and still no word on price
if its really 40k then bye bye nokia…charging triple the price of 700/603, which have the same processor and ram and os…so 40k for the camera and a few added features? please get the price right for once, for god’s sake…
as far i know the initial launch price is around 32k..
How much would a comparable camera, camcorder and recording equipment cost you that would match the quality of the 808? 40k might be a good buy.
it gives results comparable to and outclassing point and shoot cameras. I could just get a 10k 603, and even a 20k digital camera and it’d still be less than 40k. 32 is a bit more reasonable…
“it gives results comparable to and outclassing point and shoot cameras.”
Err “some” but definitely not all…
There’s still plenty of stand-alone cameras that are far better at a similar price.
Its time to say goodbye to nokia….pureview ..
40k…..uchh….only god save the nokia….
don’t be upset bro i tweeted ali earlier than u left the tip.
hey not upset at all ….anyways cheers for the tip
any word on the price ?
I’m leaving Jordan in few days, ship it already
“what I understand the first countries to get it will be the MEA region (Lebanon, Jordan…)- first time we ever get a phone first”
IIRC Lebanon was the first country to get the…… X3-02
whats taking them so long to launch this thing? i got a feeling it wont launch this month at all
I called the nokia store here in the UAE and they told me my phone should arrive this week. Most probably either today, or tomorrow
nice one
Same for India too .. they saying its tomorrow.
exactly hes bullshitting, nokia hasnt officially announced a release date in the Press Release at press.nokia.com and hes saying that its coming tommorow…duh… :@ fakers…
Great for you!! Start sharing pictures here for us to see.
Really ? So it did start shipping on the 17th.. someone on here said that last week. Great news if its true.
expect to see it in markets from 25th o 26 th of this month in india
okay so its clearly not today
. The guy told me that nokia contacted them and told them to expect it this week so im pretty sure he wouldnt make that up. Fingers crossed for tmorrow. N I ll share loads of pics 
Not to be a party pooper, but that is not an official Nokia website.
It’s very nice that they deeplink their privacy statement to nokia.co.in, but according to whois the domain getnokia.in is not affiliated with Nokia.
I think you are not aware.
Its there in the main nokia site as a sub-site.
Ah it really is. Guess it’s some third party marketers or something then. Doesn’t matter, important is that it’s genuine.
Thanks for clarifying.
Awaiting prices for Malaysia.
If more then RM 2K.. then byebye 808.
already up on ebay india for pre-order for 30k INR

Wazapp for Meego updated to version 0.2
I want it now.
the UI would be more appealing if the icons are in 4 columns. when will nokia make such?
if they were able to do it on nokia n9 with slightly smaller screen compared to 808′s, why can’t they do it on the later?
You’re kidding me right?
The screen might be slightly bigger but the res. is much lower.
Many more smaller icons would not look as good…
Edges would be slightly jaggered compared to a higher res/PPI screen.
Are you serious?
Nokia X7 & E7, with symbian ana or belle, has 4 horizontally placed icons/shortcuts on the homescreen (on the lower part). These icons are not jagged, contrary to what you’re saying. Note that both phones have exactly the same screen sizes & resolutions as 808.
So if those 4 icons in 4 columns are smooth on the home screen, I don’t see any reason for them to be jagged in the interface. (btw, i call the screen showing all the icons interface. i am not sure though, it’s just for the sake of this post).
The differences are there to see….
Put a screen with the same PPI as the N9 next to the X7/E7 & you WILL see a difference.
It’ll be subtle but it’ll be noticeable.
