New Nokia 808 Pureview reporting in finally    (Funny story : Bought from lowyat forum, the seller said had sold 3 units and all the buyers also come from Nokia N8 user including me)

First spam picture : Using a mirror and a cheap handphone tripod, captured the phone itself while using my i7 PC rig as background    (Notice my rare black casing as well ? Cheap and good stuff !)

HDR photo captured using HDR Pro Camera app and process using its built in software 


Non HDR photo at 8MP resolution for comparison (My room is low light)


Consider myself lucky, I had no problem doing manual flashing to FP2 and so far got no serious hang or crash after install few apps. Though, got some comments and tips after using two days :

a.) Continuous auto focus (CAF) in video mode - Not working very well especially for near object, have to touch focus or draw back a little to work. My N8 in macro mode works very well

b.) Camera sound - Again no option to turn off. My 808 set was flash with European firmware version which got the option to turn off but had to flash to Asia version to get chinese character support. No pervert mode for me 

c.) Gallery & others - Like all people complaints => No option to multi-select for send via blue-tooth or FB in Gallery. The way the Gallery arrange its picture and video also didn't like (For me). No camera exit button and on screen volume control for music/radio (Fine for me)

Tips
d.) Nokia browser - Don't bother, just go install Opera Mobile 12 with Asian language support. Remember to default it as the main browser application

e.) Camera apps - Just go install Camera Lover Pack. Fun and recommended !

f.) Wireless file transfer - Go install Dukto app (All app mentioned above - go search using google + keyword 'symbian or signed version'). Truly recommended. I transfer over 1 gig of data from my N8 via wifi to my 808 using this app. Also easy transfer between PC.

g.) Torchlight - While N8 got Redlight app, 808 didnt have any. BUT ..... hold the right slide unlock for 3 seconds and the back Xenon flash will light up !!! Very bright and to close it just do the same process

h.) Keyboard - The new keyboard is nice but just go install Swype. Works fine for me unlike other complaints

That's all for now. More to come when got time
