My Canon T3i DSLR only has 18M Megapixel, sigh!

Megapixles mean little in regard to IQ. Sensor. All about the sensor.

Man, is this phone ever coming out??? I mean talk about the most quiet launch ever. Nokia said it would launch in may and that has passed us by. Sure its out in a few countries but this is a global economy. I should have this phone already here in the states by now either via ebay or amazon. This is ridiculous.

North and South America are not on the availability map
http://www.nokia.com/global/products.../availability/

It's going to be a while until it hit ebay for a decent price. Doubtful for Amazon to have it, though 3rd parties should have it soon.

Which means, guessing, the price from Ebay vendors will be way north of $600. Love to see it hit Amazon, but as you said doubtful.

I'd be wary of that being legit. The seller has no score and the phone is only available in "1 to 3 weeks". So they don't even have it.

Anyone know if this will actually have penta band WCDMA for USA release? Several new outlets have said it includes AWS, but Nokia's global website shows quad band under hardware and no AWS (band IV):

I'm seriously thinking about getting this after the initial hype wears down, but I use T-Mobile USA and want all the bands (sans LTE) for full coverage.

Sources say that is indeed the reference that Nokia was making, and that Monday’s news has to do with the U.S. availability of the phone. Nokia had indicated it would look for a way to bring the Symbian-based phone to the U.S.

Was worried when North and South America were left off the 808 availability map. So glad and relieved to know I'll be bringing an 808 to Comic Con

Its almost done i think, but GSMarena has a blind test up

the 808 is E for sure.. it has a very distinct signature

A is the N8 .. F is the camera. I don't know which phone is C, but its pretty bad.

I hope that Monday is the actual date they start selling it.. if they announce and start shipping a month later, that would suck.

I am very surprised that they are bringing it here officially.. I guess they want to promote the PureView brand before they port it to win phone.. which will probably take another year.

Let's just hope they price it at $499 and don't delay the availability.

The reveal page is up on gsmarena. I will avoid any spoilers.

Cool and rather amazing.

Nokia 808 is now on Nokia's US page. No price yet, although I guess that won't be on there anyway and we'll have to wait for a separate announcement.
