Small amount of liquid spilled in a handbag containing the handset.
Didn't seem to have been much wet at all but the repair shop said water damage.
You have to trust them I suppose.

Hope she likes the 808, the size and texture will take a bit of getting used too compared the N8. Its not cold though like the N8 can be

Pixmania are doing it for 500euro.

Ordering from Pixmania does come with a health warning though. They are generally cheap and quick. When things go wrong they're based in France and without resorting to racial stereotypes have poor customer service.

I'm toying with the idea of getting one myself. The thing that puts me off is the fact its using a dinosaur of an operating system. The next generation of nokia smartphones might have the pureview technology in it. You'll probably have to wait a year or two for that though.

Well you can just go via a nokia repair here as you would as its EU warranty so its not the end of the world if you bought via them.

The later pureview phones wont have a sensor like the 808 so probably wont be on par, so depends how much you dislike the software

This new baby will be living in a case.

As for the dinosaur OS, I'd agree totally (few woudn't).
It'll be used for photos, calls, texts and maybe YouTube which it should handle OK.

You probably know this already but I would suggest is use the latest Opera browser, I find it much quicker than native

I am using an 808. It's a grand phone but you know you have it in your shirt pocket. Harder to lose. Operating system fine for everyday stuff. But I wouldn't be using this phone if I didn't want the camera - which is fantastic.

So if high quality photos are not the key feature you require I would consider other options as well.

Handtec are very good and £360 is the cheapest I have seen it from a reputable vendor.

Hi all, I'm due an upgrade on meteor and I was thinking of waiting for the Nokia EOS which will have the pureview 41mp sensor that the 808 has. Is it worth the wait or is it just a gimmick? The main feature I look for in a smartphone is the camera. When I saw the announcement of 41 mp sensor for the Eos, I thought there must be some crack being smoked by someone in Nokia or the Internet review sites like gsmarena etc...

It will run windows, which is still inferior to android.

Kinda missing the point there guys. You don't buy the 808 for apps. You buy it for the camera. That said only if you are really into your photos will you appreciate the difference of the 808.

For 95% of people there's no point getting a 808. Head fi reckon it has great sound quality for music and a great speaker. A lot of phones are mediocre.

Strange you should say that, because my Symbian phone was working perfectly this morning
