  Remember those screenshots of Belle FP2? http://mynokiablog.com/2012/06/07/screenshots-nokia-belle-fp2/ This is supposedly a video leaked on a Remote Device Access. I think Accenture is doing a great job on prettifying up Symbian, cleaning it up here and there and making it more streamlined and consistent.   What do you reckon? by jorgepiunch Thanks for the tip, Han!

GSM Arena have published their battery tests for the Nokia 808 PureView. It scores quite well, 3G talk time, web browsing and video playback. This is helped both by having Symbian, a relatively less power hungry processor and less pixels to process on screen.  Video playback is super high at 9h and 53 minutes! http://blog.gsmarena.com/nokia-808-pureview-takes-part-in-our-battery-triathlon/ [...]

Here is an example where the ‘lossless’ digital zoom comes into great use with the Nokia 808 PureView. Like with the N8, when taking close up video, you don’t have to physically get closer. Just use that zoom in video. No worries about loss in detail. Compare post production zoom and zoom in video with [...]
