Video: Nokia 808 PureView 4 way unboxing by Nokia N8, Nokia Lumia 900, Nokia 808 PureView and Canon 60D
One of the first things I had planned with the 808 PureView was a multiview unboxing. Unfortunately as I was setting up, my backpain/sciatica spontaneously returned so I was unable to set up the angles as I wanted it. I had to get it done though as I don’t have long with the 808 and the result was still somewhat alright.
The Nokia 808 PureView is already recording inside the bag whilst all this is happening. There was a little hitch at first as it kept on turning off whilst in the box. I thought it might have been a problem like some of my friend’s SammyDroids but it was actually being interrupted by the NFC tag that switches on the NFC video.

The audio from my 60D is terrible in my room. It echoes way too much as you may or may not have seen from the Lumiappadays I’ve recorded whilst in Preston. The N8 starts off the audio at first which sounds great. I’m not sure what happened with the 900 but the audio wouldn’t work in the video editor after about 10 seconds. Sound is normally quite good on that too. But 808′s is superb.
Note: Video processing did not go too well and for some reason, in addition to the 808′s audio, there was repeat audio from the other recording devices. Only one source was supposed to play at a time. Oh well, I’ve learnt for next time.
I haven’t been playing with the 808 for long at all but I’m really liking it so far. Belle FP1 on faster hardware is night and day compared to Belle on N8, and a complete heaven vs hell when comparing 808 to the first S^3 iteration. Colour me greedy, but I expect phones to be responsive to my inputs. That’s what had been frustrating me about my N8 and older symbian phones for a while. So far, 808 performs the actions I ask it to in a timely, responsive manner.
I’m loving how the 808 feels in the hand. The weight. The shape and the textured back. My only niggles so far is text input on the keyboard (better than N8 but still frustrating. Not in N9′s league or Lumia) as well as the browser.

Lucky guy ……………
Thanks to Nokia Connects. We’ve got this for about 2 weeks. Hope to put it to good use.
Make the most of it. Enjoy !!
Waiting for some amazing pics & videos.
Wow! So lucky I want one soo bad!!!
was waiting for this vid sice the prev post
the first impression at the start was that its not a great idea…
however as the vid picks up it seems fine
thanks for so much effort
u should post a pic of the setup too…
Thanks. It kinda went wrong. The four views were meant to be significantly different with the 60D showing everything. But my back was in absolute agony at the time and I couldn’t stand and stretch to move the cameras about :/ Instead of just waiting for my back to ease up I decided I had to film it there and then (cos processing takes a further 4 hours with 4 HD sources to process).
I just got the tripod holder in the mail and it works great.
I love that Nokia bag Jay got too.
Speaking of Jay, the Coffee Tab just made wpcentral with talk of a tablet and new Symbian phones. I would buy the Coffee Tab over the Surface. Great design everytime I see it.
100% agree with you with the text input
Jay, get well in time for September 5.
jay did you see the new symbian/s40 phones on wpcentral?

i dont get it.. what exactly is the purpose of an unboxing video again?
is there something new in the box for your 808? or am i missing something?
did you have smudges on the 808′s lens? It didn’t seem to be focusing well at all. But when it did, GOT DAMN!
Still wish I had $600 to drop in one
im having issues with caf. I end up clicking touch to focus which turns off caf.
Jay I think they keyboard will be updated in FP2..from what I’ve seen on video, it looks like it will be easier to type on.
>> My only niggles so far is text input on the keyboard
You mean you’re not using Swype? Goodness me!

watching this video and browsing using “opera mini” which seems to be 5x better than “opera mobile” base on my experience. Opera mobile won’t load up mynokiablog.com and always crush.
using white 808 pureview
The only thing that works for my bad back is standing up while pedaling on an exercise bike for 60 seconds, rest until you can do it again and repeat for 15-20minutes. It beats crawling on the floor.
if u have a 808 like me follow me on twitter @sirreflex
Can’t wait to get mine!
how do you get the nokia bag ?
will you offer me for free, cause you are focusing on lumia wp8 on mynokiablog
Best!!! Can we share some stuff….lol
