Ha ha, i give up!
For most (myself included), the camera quality isn't one of the prime factors I look at when I'm looking for a new phone.
Hmm, iPhone 4S is the best-selling smart phone and while they did improve the camera, all the advertising, at least in the US, is about Siri, which I guess is more unique than the camera.
Some more tidbits to join the rumour party:

-This PureView model actually has the N8's image sensor (though the image processor might still be present for faster photo snapping and post-processing). I guess the 808's image sensor may still be too big.
- There's also a 4" WVGA model with physical keyboard in the works, also using a MSM8960 (though it may not be the "Pro" version with Adreno 320 like the Proview model).

I am not interested in generating an income through this activity. I did consider it when I received job offers from a few different media outlets, but chose not to take them up in the end.
I do this stuff because: 1. I like following this company & its competitors as well as other CE & health technology news. 2. I'm running a 'social experiment' of sorts.
I like this question.
I would prefer more in this vein of questioning than product-roadmap stuff here on reddit. Those are better suited to my Tumblr Ask page.

I said before that this is also a social experiment. It has been very illuminating to observe how a story spreads among the media & how substandard the process of verifying information is. Most of all, I have been amazed by how easily the media & the enthusiast public ignore any attempt at ascertaining the authenticity of sources.
The Nokia Lumia PureView rumor/leak has nothing to do with this Ms Nerd dude at all and originates from a Chinese site. My post above was addressing the following made up stuff that this guy piled up on top of it and that ToTTenTranz was re-posting. Case closed.while this guy made up alot of stuff , Nokia has already mentioned plans of bringing the 32mpixel camera to windows 8 phones and we already know through leaks that larger resolutions and multiple cores are coming for windows 8 phones.
Since the numbers are coupled to a revenue statement, I assume they're talking about sold by Nokia rather than sell-through to consumers.Any idea if that's 2M units shipped to retailers or in consumer hands?
Nokia sold 2 million Lumia phones and a total of 12 million 'smart devices' in Q1.
It means that between Symbian, MeeGo and WP7, only 1 out of 5 people want to purchase a WP7 device
Since Nokia has only been marketing WP7 devices (while calling the other models as dead and burning) for the last 2-3 quarters, this has a simple meaning: no one wants WP7.
Those graphs show that Nokia branded phones as a whole are taking a hammering, and nokia WP7 is not changing that.

Correction: Nokia branded phones have are taking a hammering because of the burning platform memo and the idiotic way they've decided to adopt WP7 - and not because of some "Nokia was decaying anyway" poor/ignorant explanation that many noth-american technews blogs have been prophesizing for years.
Up until February 2011 (burning platform memo), sales numbers had been increasing, revenues were increasing (the Symbian^3 models alowed for higher prices and higher profits per unit), share prices were increasing..
The only thing that wasn't increasing was market share, but when Android 2.1->2.3 stormed the market in that period, everyone else lost market share, even apple.
They had the answer...Meamo...
No Meamo...Meego was essentially Meamo...now that Meego has been taken into Tizen...Nokia has got Meamo(Formally Meego)...basically, they could have released/kept Meego/Meamo 6..with full software support, full marketing push, updated hardware....that would have been the third ecosystem...MeeGo, actually
Yup, Symbian just needed a little TLC..it is actually VERY good by all accounts..and does it on out of date ARM 11 processors...so can scale right down to almost any level you want.And they still have that answer, with smooth Symbian->MeeGo transitions through Qt..
But I guess the deals that Elop made with Microsoft probably involve turning Nokia into Microsoft's puppet. Nokia will only release what MS tells them to.
Well he isn't looking too clever right now..he is basically trying to give the Lumia 900 away..so if this doesn't sell than he is in big trouble..Funny question: can't Elop and Nokia's Board of Directors be charged with corporate corruption or something
