Pardon me for asking this, but how would the quality of PVC 808 picture be if the picture was taken by an amateur noob? tongue.gif I've read users here saying the success rate of a nice picture can be as low as 1/10. But I'm wondering normally how bad is the other 9? Is the 9 bad pictures still Better than other similar price range phone, say L820? Or even better than L920?

Which means can I set the setting at auto and take a picture without technique but still will get a better than average picture quality?

Thanks. And btw Symbian doesn't bother me. I only need whatsapp. biggrin.gif

Thanks first. rclxms.gif

Most of the time the images will be just as good. Unless you fell in an unfortunate situation where backlighting set in, tricky reflection, and long exposure required for an unsteady hand. 

PV808 can also be used as a simple point and shoot.

Glad to hear this. Btw i really do have a pair of very unsteady hand. sweat.gif

Any white colour users can verify whether white colour is prone to dirt after usage? biggrin.gif

Was going to buy a second hand unit before someone paid before me. Anyone wanting to sell your unit? tongue.gif

Gotten my phone few days back. So far very pleased with what the phone has to offer.

Impressive camera performance goes without saying. But for a beginner/ casual users the pictures still turns out very nice. Not for night picture though. sad.gif

Screen! One of my biggest worry. But its better than expected.

And everything else im pleased with. Just that Symbian belle really look a little bit outdated.

Anyone can introduce themes or tweaks that can 'modernise' the UI? rclxms.gif

modernise no, but theme changing yes. You can get decent of themes for free in the Nokia store

Ya I downloaded a lot of themes from the store. Like the good old days with N series phone.

There are sellers here selling tripod at only RM16, with an adjustable clamp so 808 should be able to fit in.

Btw, sometimes I have problem unlocking the phone with the sliding button. sweat.gif is it durable in long term usage? I downloaded a software which allows double tap to wake screen up but apparently it's not working.

I'm going to ask Nokia store in Melaka bout the original cover later. Lets see if they know what phone is this. brows.gif

tripodBut the tripod looks lighter than the phone itself. sweat.gif

What I mean is the physical sliding button on the side. Many times I slide it the screen shows flashes but remains unlocked. pressing home button to unlock sometimes no response aswell.

If you want the sliding button to last, then use it with care. Mine dont have any problem but the one on my E6 did get malfunction after few months. I used to slide it with my nail and then let go which cause it to snap back like spring. Apparently it didnt go well the the switch and causing problem later on.

Ya. Now I realize the few times that it is actually not functioning is when I let it snap back. kinda enjoy the sound. sweat.gif

anyone using double tap to wake?

Ya. N9 was a boss. Too bad wazzap is a little bit too unstable.

I did not realize this before. But tapping on the top right Hans corner (Position of the clock) actually lock the screen for us.

Anyone using 'belle extra button' ? Works very well for me.now I can have on screen lock screen button. Multitasking button and swipe gesture for selected action. Ie changing profile.

I used it before but took it off later. White just felt better naked. I have no problem dropping a Nokia phone, compared to my Note2. Anyway, I did drop my 808 once onto tar road. Kinda regret I took off the cover few days before The incident happened, but thanks to it, I now felt okay with using it naked even more.

Top right corner has some tiny mark probably due to hitting sands and tiny stones. The most noticeable is the chipped area where the hole of back cover meet the metallic camera cover. A small crater would be a proper word to describe it. And lastly, some scratches to the metallic camera cover.

It really didnt feel that bad when you drop a sub 1k phone especially when the maker seem like giving up on software updates.

Bad things always happen few days after one took off their cover. sweat.gif Applies to my N9 aswell. The dent is so serious i have to sold it off because of that. I can't stand scratches and dent on my phone. Shouldn't have cared so much for a phone but just couldn't help. So no more naked. biggrin.gif

Software wise, other than the slightly outdated look of the OS, the functionality (bar the apps) is still very good for me. Since im a light user with my heavy usage relying on tablet, everything i need on a phone works well on my 808. So ya no complaints from me on software side. Update or not, if im already satisfied with what the software has to offer, any updates will be just another bonus.

p/s: My night photos still looks like crap. Its not even decent. Nothing to do with the camera quality i know. doh.gif

Exactly. sweat.gif I was quite skeptical when a female salesperson approached me. But she actually knew of this phone and were able to introduce me to the accessories.

Btw, no matter how many times i enter this Nokia store in Melaka Aeon, there will not be more than 2 customers. sad.gif

Worse than this still. The impact area is on the bottom right corner. Dents and cracks plus inner part also kemek abit. Somehow the polycarbonate on lumia phones are prone to dent once dropped.

I used to throw the N9 Nokia loaned to me without much problem. Even slamming it hard on table also fine. Another friend also demo the same action and no damage, although he was unlucky as one side of the screen fell out but can be repair with a visit to service center.

Seems like you have extreme luck with your N9. I have my paints peel off, permanennt dirt cause by the original rubber cover and charging cover broken.

Btw, I think I will be buying this tripod. My brother introduce to me and found some 808 users bought it as well. looks very solid albeit a little bit difficult to bring around.

Thanks for the picture! It actually looks quite similar to mine. But the corner covering the metal part of the camera with your cover is raised higher than mine.

Hi guys. Can anyone help me here just for a bit? Just a question for Whatsapp on the Pureview. I've read that my chat history can send out via email under the Chat History. But somehow, for my case, I've only Send via Bluetooth option available. There's no option for me to Send via Email.

Is my version of Whatsapp somehow bugged? Or is it just Whatsapp for Symbian to be this way? I really really would love to send a copy of my chat history to my email.

Thanks a lot in advance for the help!

Btw, my Whatsapp version is 2.11.75
*
Menu>Settings>General>Send chat history (Send via E-mail or Bluetooth>Press> (Only get selection of 'via bluetooth')

Is yours similar to mine? Btw im on the same version as yours and there's a newer version on 2.11.80. Maybe you can try to update and see how?
