In their Camera Phones episode, the Gadget Show (UK) includes the unequivocally best camera phone in the universe, The Nokia 808 PureView. I’ll be disappointed if the camera receives anything other than adulation. They’re wondering which camera phone is able to fullfil your camera needs. Urgh, the 808?
