From looking at photos from flickr
- bright light, sunny day photos are awesome. But other phones (iphone, SGIII) take quite acceptable photos in same conditions too
- wobbly jelly video when panning. nothing you can do
- the difference in quality is only really noticeableat low light/indoors? true
- zoom is awesome to have
- whats the shot to shot timing. ie you want to take continous shots of a toddler for example. 2 to 3 seconds each? NO burst mode?
Thanks!

I've read and seen some pretty bad reviews of it. So are they true?

I've heard you can install opera mini and overcome this issue and have a good browser experience through that on the 808.

I love the camera, it's so easy to take amazing photos, but the rest of the phone, coming from an N9, is like pulling teeth without novacane.

Painful and unwanted.

Low light shots are very good. Shots with the xenon flash (bright!!!) are terrific.

The zoom is excellent - and lossless. Even with 8MP PureView (which is the default I've set) I get good after-shot zoom-in without messing up the image.

There's a burst mode - in fact it's always on. If you hold down the camera button it takes shot after shot after shot after... The timing is about one per second - the H/W is still processing the full sensor for every shot.

I've taken very little video (with any of my camera phones) so I don't have a useful opinion.

The native browser on the 808 is fast. The N9's makes a better use of the available screen. The difference in screen resolution is noticeable here. That said, the larger type on the 808 screen is a little easier on my (older) eyes.

On the N9 I have that spread over three separate implementations - Gmail within mail, MfE for contacts and CalDAV for calendar. That last, however, does allow me to sync three different calendars.

I still miss the N900 tag cloud when sharing (particularly when I used PixelPipe) - even on the N9.

I am about to buy a new smartphone and I am between 808 and n9 64gb. If you were in my shoes which one would you prefer, why? Actually I love phones with great camera modules and i was using k850i so far but I can`t help myself buying an n9. And one more thing: which one has better music quality with headphones? Thank you in advance.
