i don’t see it..maybe they were just testing it
Yes!
take my money
I hope they send it to more network and its accepted like the lumia 900… Pure view!!!!
finally!! woohoo!
but when?
and
how much?
can i just walk into an AT&T with my regular sim card in my hand (no phone, just the SIM), and get a micro sim for my regular sim? will they do that?
Nothing against you but i love how alienated North American users are with SIMs.
I can walk into a kiosk and get my own plan in 5 minutes for whatever hone i want.
hey, hey..heeey!
we can do the same thing in the US… we don’t even have to talk to anyone these days, check this out: http://www.straighttalk.com/
I am not sure on that one, I was going to call my local shop today.. but I got one of these just in case hah

its not advisable getting that micro sim adapter kit, it will mess up your sim tray and void your warranty, plus you will pay BIG money to have it repaired, go to your local at&t or tmobile store and they will give you a microSIM at NO charge
will they need me to exchange my current sim for the micro sim? or can I still have both sim’s so I can easily switch back to my old phone if needed with the other sim.
you don’t have to trade your old sim, but you can only have one sim card activated at a time
You can easily cut it if they don’t provide it (or charge for it). Or you can go and complain that your phone won’t recognize it anymore and ask for a new one, and while they’re at it they might as well give you a micro-SIM one – they should provide SIM replacements free of charge.
When I got my N9, my local Tmobile store was out of micro sims, so they just cut mine for me for free.
I could’ve done it myself, but whatever.
Just walk into an att store and ask for a micro sim and they will either give you one for free or charge you like $25 at most. Thats what I did with my N9.
but what if you want to switch back and forth between an old backup phone that takes regular sim?
Will they just give you a microsim, and let you still keep your old sim?
I like switching phones a lot, and I am still on an old data plan, so I dont want AT&T to mess with my old plan if I walk in there asking for a new microsim.
Yes, you can get a micro SIM from at&t. I called customer support for micro sim and they mailed it free of cost. I am using it my N9. In their database it says I don’t have smartphone either.
Yes, and free of charge. At least in CA. They didn’t even ask the old sim. Just verify with them that all the plan is the same.
yes. I have att and i did that when i went from Nokia E6 to N9. Just make sure you go to original att store not retailer. Retailer will charge you $25. Att store $0. Look up stores at att.com
It’s a shame it has Symbian. Everytime my brother lends me his iPhone I feel like Symbian lacks so much in smoothness and usability when I go back to my N8.
Anyway, I think it was a good decision to sell the 808 in the US, it’s time Nokia gets some money for their great technology.
Its actually a good thing that it has Symbian..
+ googolplex
Shame that my iPhone 4S but its battery life is CRAP and it doesn’t have FM transmitter and I cannot download anything to it from aywhere else than iStore or have widgets and contacts in the phones front page. No game breakingly big deals to me, and I love many things in 4S, but Symbian has its merits and no phone has it all. I miss Symbian!
(wrote 3 sentences at the same time, and didn’t remember to correct the first one before submitting)
Well, the 1.3 GHz processor, 512 MiB of RAM and updated GPU should provide a good deal smoother experience than the N8. The N8 is, after all, pretty old (about 21 months by now).
great announcement. coming soon.
Yay. Good job of getting the word out, Nokia. /sarcasm.
No UK yet? Never mind.
Now where’s that big multimillion dollar marketing campaign for the greatest camera phone ever that even competes with DSLR’s!?
It’s a million times more innovational and spectacular phone than Lumia 900. Surely it deserves a bigger marketing push than Lumia 900.
Yeah, like non-core strategy, niche devices always have.
Its a fantastic product and Nokia should milk the camera enthusiast market with it as much as they can, but it won’t change the big picture, I am afraid. So I am guessing the 808 will have to – and will do – most of its marketing through word of mouth and tech site exposure etc. more than any marketing per se.
If Elop hadn’t abandoned Symbian like he did, the 808 could have been a great marketing help for Symbian in general and could have kept it afloat a year longer. Now of course it’s pretty much just a niche device, although I wouldn’t be surprised if it still sells more in Q3 than any single Lumia phone. Elop won’t tell as that, though, but considering the lack of other new Symbian devices, the Q3 Symbian sales will probably be mostly 808.
Nah. IMHO it would still have been a niche device and had minimal to no impact on other Symbian sales.
If the transition had been handled better, I agree, the drop in Symbian sales would have been a bit slower.
I would be somewhat surprised if it does sell more than any Lumia Q3 but I guess its conceivable given the global number of camera enthusiasts out there. There are recidual other Symbian model sales (we’ll know more about how many fairly soon when q2 results are out) but yeah, the 808 should help those numbers significantly.
Well, it is too thick with or without Elop. That will hit the sales.
The N8 was pretty thick and it probably suffered from that. Remember that all of the Symbian^3 handsets sold only 5 million units when they were brought to the markets from the beginning of the Q4/2010. Nokia was actually shipping the N8 before the Q4 so there were no production problems for the Q4.
Only some of those 5 million units were N8 handsets. Probably only a fraction because the average selling price dropped (q2q) a massive 16% on that quarter.
To illustrate how massive the drop was when the N8 was launched, we can look how Elop dealed with the same quarter one year later. At the Q4/2011 the drop on the average selling proce was only 10%. This is the same quarter N9 shipped with a less than a million Lumia handsets.
It’s possible Nokia sold only 1-2 million N8 handsets during the Q4/2010. Now that’s how badly people want to buy high end cameraphones.
It seems odd that Nokia would go through all of this hoopla to announce the availability of the 808 in the US without a carrier, but maybe they have one, T-Mobile maybe?
Not going to happen. Not with WinPhone strategy in full swing. They’ve done it many times before.. n8,x7,e7, c701..700.. all of them are “available” but don’t have carrier support. Amazon is what we get..
I will buy mine through Amazon just like I did my N8 even if it was offered through a carrier, but Nokia does not usually advertise it’s product availability on Amazon.
I’m gonna LOL if T-Mobile is going to offer the 808 pureview because of my petition in the T-Mobile Support forums.
amazon has a placeholder ready for the 808

can’t wait!!!! but why hasn’t nokia us announced it yet -_- their facebook page has been getting updated this morning but no808 yet ;/
That one could be for the black one, but here is the white version link on Amazon USA.

Hey
Can I use 64gig MicroSIM on 808?
You mean sd? I think its 32gb so altogether 48gb.
Here is from gsmarena:
Memory Card slot microSD, up to 32 GB
Internal 16 GB storage, 1 GB ROM, 512 MB RAM
Yeah I meant MircoSD lol.
Oh well. I hoping that i could use it
I’m currently using one in my N8 without any problems. I would assume the 808 would also?
You may be able to put it in but can symbian use more than 32gb of that card?
You can use 64Gb card without problems in the 808 if you first format it with FAT32. No problem at all.
okay, didn’t know
Nokia’s developer specs for 808 say only up-to 32 GB memory cards. Standard Symbian fare, same as others. But good to hear that in practice more works, just be careful that you don’t loose any data?
http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/808_PureView/
I am not so sure. There are different specs, I think including the physical interface. The original SD supported only up to 2 GB, the now commonly used SDHC up to 32 GB. For everything beyond 32 GB you need SDXC support (up to 2 TB).
I would assume 32 GB really means that’s the limit.
it works in my N8 so I don’t see why not
just format it to FAT32 if you have any problems having it recognized
Most likely, I used a N8 with Anna and had a 64GB Sandisk, used the phone to format it to fat32.
I still got class 6 speeds but only 59GB of memory on the sd card.
I think on daily mobile some one reported they had a Nokia 701 with 64gb inserted.
Haven’t tried with belle. But I will definitely try it out with a 808 once I get my hands on one.
You can try it yourself really, the cards are only about 60 USD now, very cheap compared to the 220 USD they were a few months ago…
Ah, yes, but is a 64 GB card fast enough to handle the 1080p video, rich recording and shooting stills rapidly? You gotta have at least class 6, right?
i bought a class 10 in anticipation of the 808
Me too, but only a 32 gb one. Class 10 should be more than enough.
Slovakia was added to the list. And one more country, because there are now 83 countries listed.
So i made some maps of availability of 808 (with the help of purposegames.com):
europe http://i45.tinypic.com/143g9b8.gif
asia http://i45.tinypic.com/nn7d42.gif
africa http://i47.tinypic.com/fk1ywz.gif
Thank you, RVM!
To me that looks like a global launch…
I expect it to continue to ramp up to other countries as well.
What does blue mean?
*ignore that comment*
$699!!!
I can get SGS3 and good camera for that money.
http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/06/19/unique-nokia-808-pureview-coming-to-america/
“The revolutionary smartphone will be available unlocked and unsubsidized through Amazon.com. U.S. consumers will be able to purchase the Nokia 808 PureView for $699 and use it with a compatible SIM card from AT&T. It will also work with T-Mobile – but only at 2G speeds.”
Nokia should include 3G speeds to all networks.
Why was it gimped?
To complete the loop, take the N8 autofocus camera module, slap it onto the Nokia 701 put Nokia 808 Nokia Belle FP1 OS on it and rename it Nokia 708.
That would be great but yeah.. The strategy
i’m advising everyone on this site that Elop fucked around with the NAM model…….. instead of having all 5(penta) bands…they made it with out the 1700mhz to fucking piss everyone off
They obviously don’t want it to sell. If they are really removing 3G on AWS, they clearly made a conscious decision to keep T-Mobile users away. T-Mobile in the US is the carrier most friendly to people using unlocked devices, even offering cheaper rates if you have your own hardware. This is pure evil.
elop will always do something to symbian to fuck around so not everyone will have the same experience now
Interestingly, I checked a couple of other countries’ specs pages for the 808 and the AWS bands have mysteriously vanished there, too.
It’s like they’re pretending this was never a pentaband phone or something. Last I checked, the developer pages still show AWS.
I can’t understand how anybody here is compelled to stick up for Microsoft or Nokia at this point.
It’s so disgustingly obvious that Microsoft is pure poison. I hope Nokia’s current herd of executives is brought to trial for their absolutely repugnant collusion sooner or later.
Tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs because of the bile that has spewed forth from these companies over the past year.
I’m sick just thinking about the whole thing.
OMG, I just noticed that even ASHA is pentaband. What the heck is wrong with Nokia? I am so disappointed.
I was surprised to see that too.. Waiting for an answer why 808 doesn’t have penta-band 3G when all the other Symbian and the high-end Ashas have them..
Please offer PUREVEW 808 on south america!!! All countries please!!!
Nokia are selling the 808 for nearly the same price as an unlocked Galaxy S3! That will definitely limit it to a tiny niche.
You can have a stonkin’ camera with a phone grafted on to it, or you could have a much better all-round device with enough processing power to last a few years… It’s sad to see Nokia still following the same strategy that killed Symbian. Consumers don’t want a few exemplary hardware bits cobbled together with crap software, they want a well-integrated user experience even if certain features are left out. Apple saw that market and pounced on it, Nokia are now following that with their WP/Windows 8 strategy, and the smarter Android makers like Samsung are doing that too.
I’ve been a Symbian user for many years now so it’s infuriating to see what Nokia has done to a once acclaimed OS. I jumped onboard when it was the most powerful OS in the industry compared to abandoned platforms like PalmOS or the convoluted nightmare that was Windows Mobile. Unfortunately Nokia sat on its collective ass for too long, content with being first, and not realizing how fast the market was changing. People don’t want buggy, slow phones they paid a fortune for, phones that were stripped to save a few cents on the bill of materials to increase profits, with half-assed software that was years too late and filled with bugs and omitted features that aren’t likely to be fixed. Smartphones are now pocket computers with phone functions, not phones with some computer functions grafted on – a big difference when designing hardware and the user interface.
And now the app ecosystem issue means platforms have to be easy to develop and distribute for. Symbian Belle is full of compromises as a result of the transition from S60v5-era Avkon internals to a full Qt interface, yet that transition will never be finished because Symbian development is dead. Who wants to develop for a platform with so many incompatible languages and UIs (Avkon and Qt on S60v5 vs. Qt Quick on S^3 and Belle), let alone “feature packs” that break compatibility and are offered only on newer devices? The 300 million+ Symbian users figure being thrown around makes little sense when you look at Symbian’s device and OS fragmentation issue because it is *not* one development platform.
You make it a pain in the ass to develop on your platform and developers will leave, followed by users.
I was all ready to buy this phone here in the US, but there is no way in hell i am paying $699 for this.
f’in Nokia always doing something stupid!!!
