 *Drools*, The Lumia i've been waiting on.
 I know the Ativ S was going to be a wp8 GS3
 And i know HTC own going to be a wp8 One X
 I said, nokia has to come really good, as both the One x and GS3 are stellar devices.
 And finally, nokia has combined their efforts into a must buy product.

 Money done leave my pocket, all i need now is a release date! price is not an option for this bad boy.

GG Nokia, GG.

Pureview looking good, I was really impressed with this video at first but a bit disappointed at the misrepresentation in it....

http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/5/3294545/nokias-pureview-ads-are-fraudulent

The new PureView camera might be amazing, but a bizarre easter egg has revealed that the company's advertisements don't give an honest view of its technology. Amid Nokia's flurry of press today — if you haven't heard, it released a new flagship phone along with some other gear — one video advertisement in particular caught our eye. In the ad, Nokia shows off the PureView's image stabilization technology. The opening segment (which, importantly, isn't qualified by a "screen images simulated" notice), shows a young man and woman cheerily riding bikes along a scenic river. As he films her breezily laughing, the ad shows side-by-side video — obviously intended to represent the phone's video capabilities. On the left, Nokia shows the non-stabilized version, which, predictably, looks terrible, and on the right the ad shows the perfectly smooth capture, purportedly enabled by Nokia's optical image stabilization technology. The only problem is that the video is faked.

EDIT: Video is now unlisted by Nokia

Dont let that fool you, they did a live comparison to prove the tech works, let me find the vid. The media being itself, juss lambasing that. But the tech works, hang on.



That's either a GS3 or Iphone 4s, they rig both cameras to a contraption, and recorded both simultaneously holding said contraption.

[woodyear99]

It would be cool if they update that video with someone riding on a bicycle or travelling in a car to see a comparison. I wonder if such tech coming to Android anytime soon.

[MessiaaH]

^ Yea it would.

But any way you look at it, it's the most advanced optics in a smartphone ever. And all the live demonstrations woking bess.

[woodyear99]

Yeah phone cameras are pretty amazing these days. I think low end P&S cameras will eventually die off or at least have significantly less market demand.

[MessiaaH]

I rel liking the accessories too boy.

That built in QI Charging rel nice.

I going to have a pillow by the bed, a dock in the car, and a block in the office.

Always been fascinated with low light performance in digital cameras. None of my current devices do a good job at it.

Lumia scoring big points in that department.

well played

[Philosophical45]

when it comes to cell phone hardware and phone cameras... nokia is a beast... especially in the camera department.

[MessiaaH]

Indeed, and now that they put all the engineering into a wp8 product, they done get my money.

[Spazosaurus]

Update it to 7.8 it should be available thru Zune

Whatsapp
Skype

Evernote
Box ....if you don't want to use Skydrive (but i can't imagine why you wouldn't)

Others would be dependant on her preferences

Is there such a thing for Droid?

I vaguely recall arcman mentioning one. Google's Navigation app doesn't work in Trinidad last I checked.

Nope not as comprehensive or Updated ... that's free....

I think there maybe a paid app that has it... TomTom or sumn not sure

The AT&T Maps app I have on my Vivid would work as well but it requires a paid subscription
