hmmm no idea where i can get this phone

well you have to access nokia store locator in nokia malaysia website, and call them.
at the moment, the phone stock are limited.... including extra accessories, apps, and games.

ANy other battery monitor alternative ? Seems Nokia Battery Monitor 3.0 is not compatible....

Still struggling on decision whether to buy this beast or an entry level dslr first (for photo and video recording)

Parents are getting old, wanna capture every moment of them, don't wanna regret in future..
but am still a student, so I have limited funds, can only korek savings and maybe some part time jobs income in future, can't afford anything beyond 3k Orz

what should I do Orz

erm now at k.trg ask n ask nokia centre..da answer just no ..no ..no ..adoi

if u need a phone,,might as well go for it..if u wanna buy a dslr,just make sure u know the basics of it..dslr is not like a normal camera that u simply snap² with like cameraphone

If you still haven't got a smart phone (chances are you have at least one already), get this phone ! I used it extensively for a day, recording the event both in photos and videos (30fps in full HD). It is confirmed to be very usable in realife. The videos are all recorded in mp4 format, easily played with media player or media classic home cinema. Audio recording is just very good gotta admit.

One major problem I have for video recording is the wind noise. And you need to use the strap that comes with it for video recording. Handphone is not very ergonomic to be used as a video camcorder. You may drop the phone anytime while trying to get proper shooting angle etc.. Unlike the normal camcorder which it comes with a proper strap to hook around your neck when you shoot something.

With this phone, obviously you cannot have fine focusing by eyeing at the subject. But with face detection technology etc, its actually very much effective to record daily events like in your case. Unless you are into creative photography, otherwise this phone will be your only device you ever need anytime of the day, wherever you are, even during your work, your holiday trips, or on-site shootings. No doubt about that.

Meaning? If Nokia Dealer, ask them they should know. Display set also takda? One way is order with deposit, then Nokia will send to them. Nokia Melaka told me that's how it is, stock available only by order from customer. N9 64GB all over again,lol. You try ask the Tgannu salesman that

thanks here i come for deposit

Another feedback:

The headphone that comes with it has just an average sound quality. I tried to compare it with my iphone 3GS headphone, but it turns out to be incompatible ! I mean there is a message that comes out informing me that iphone headset is not recognised.

But nokia headset ear pieces fit into my ears better than iphone's. Thats for sure.

Ya, I know that DSLR need some deep knowledge to fully utilize them, which I really worry of
Nokia 808 was always my first choice previously (extremely portable, and features rich device), but then my siblings advice that dslr seems to be more flexible and match my purpose even better (kinda logical)
and now with dslr like d5100 and d3200 being priced so low, my heart starts itching already

wow thanks for sharing your fruitful reviews!
Haha ya I got smartphones already, but this doesn't stopped my strong urge over 808

The major problem that you outlined is what I've been worried of..
and I've watched some videos captured by laymen, the videos seems to have a little stuttering especially while panning around, it's indeed quite disturbing;
but couldn't deny that the sound quality is just beyond awesome (omitting wind noise drawback), much better than dslr without external mic attached! (This is also the reason that hold me back from buying dslr)

good point but u dont compare the quality between dslr and cameraphones ya coz they came from different area...but still,if u already have a decent phone,my advice is go for dslr...but if u plan to change your phone,then go ahead change to 808..IMHO
i'm using N8 + 550D...mostly i use my dslr to snap pics of tourney but when i wanna snap pic with the players,it is hard to find someone that really know how to use dslr..so,i end up lending them my N8 instead of my dslr to snap a portrait picture etc.(unless like my convocation pic,i hired someone as my photographer )

Hehe true, they're totally two different things for sure, but I'm measuring with my budgets ma, so can't stop comparing

Urgh dilemma

by the way guys, thanks for sharing your thought, really appreciate!
Now Imma go back to focus on my thesis already
Night all

Dslr is not a thing where u can always bring along...

808 u can bring all day long....

Compared my n8 and 550D, i use n8 more than 550D... The dslr is mostly for a planned event....

Of course image quality, dslr would be better but smartphone is much more feature rich...

Mana satu? You judge..

my n8 beat my D70s+ 24-70mm f/2.8 in low light

Yup, one of the reason drawing me back : /

Totally aware of Nokia's imaging capabilities lolololol : )

Means u need D800E liao...
