I think most of you know about Nokia’s upcoming Symbian flagship, the 808 PureView. It is best known for its 41MP camera which should deliver unbeatable stills and videos.
The camera is not the only good thing about the 808. For the first time since years, Nokia is offering a Symbian device no-holds-barred. HDMI-Out, 4″ CBD-screen, exchangeable battery, NFC, FM-transmitter, everything is there.

For me the 808 will be enough for at least the next 18 months, which should be enough time for Nokia to come up with a new phone where I don’t have to loose features when I “upgrade”.

So what does this device cost? Find out after the break!

God was I pissed. You can see it in my first reaction here and on Twitter.
But what a surprise, when I woke up this morning most of my anger was gone and through the day a few things came together to change my view completely, more or less.

Today The Nokia Blog gave a “Sneak Peek: Symbian PR2.0 Portrait Keyboard & New Browser Screenshots“.

I am really looking forward to this update, even if my stupid *#!$~*-Swiss CV has not even gotten PR 1.1. But one thing which bothers me (also in PR 1.0), is that the row for special keys (Left, Right, Okay, Options,…) is at the bottom of the screen.

I think, that is not the right place for this keys and I prepared a mock-up for suggesting a better solution.
