Cons: No swipe and low screen res.

Sure. Binning is quite useful.

It's too bad that people are only concentrating on the megapixels when the true innovation here lies elsewhere. :(
Funny thing is that as 2-3 years ago it was about megapixels, now when anybody seems too many megapixels the camera is sh1te. Nokia just can't seem to catch a break.

Here's one great article actually explaining the sensor and what Nokia has achieved here... from a iphone loving site even. :D

nice cpu and amount of ram for symbians need
great multimedia performance

My reasons are first the camera, next the hyped audio recording and audio quality (N8 had amazing audio quality via 3.5mm), HDMI out with 1080p. Nice to see how will the Nokia Big screen work paired with that 1080p HDMI out.

Belle/Symbian is by no means my favorite OS anymore, but it looks to be way, way more smoother than before looking at the videos. Settings, camera (probably best camera UI i have ever seen) and the widget screens manage to even look elegant and work smoothly.

Already pre-ordered. As for it being more dead than MeeGo, that's not possible really.
Symbian is still bought in tens of millions every year and has support going till 2016, also it is way more complete OS than MeeGo, while being uglier than Swipe UI.

Nokia still needs Symbian, MeeGo not so much.

Re: 41 MP Camera for Symbian Belle
 
I'm only glad that NOKIA now truly knows how powerful/important that BROADCOMM GPU on the new Symbian Belle phones is. With reference to datasheets only, that 1.3GHz ARM11 is approximately as powerful as an 800MHz ARM Cortex A8, which puts forward this question: How in Earth does that 808 get full 1080p video capture @ 30fps, something that only high-end dual cores (Exynos/TI...NVIDIA dual cores are NOT high-end) and recent quad-cores have just achieved?
It's all because of that beastly GPU, which handles all video/graphics processing.

Excuse me, but looking at current prices of the N9 vs. the price set for the 808 on release, the 808 seems a terribly much better investment.

Ok, Its your money.:D nokia moving on and dont even launch it world wide so thats how much they care. To me the N8 is a better bet.
