Still Camera Phones & Newer Imaging Phones ... I personally have a serious interest in camera phones/imaging phones and I have followed their evolution and increasing utility rather closely over the years. Although my family's day to day phones are small and lightweight 1xEV-DO feature phones with relatively low end cameras (on Verizon Wireless) I also currently am using an unlocked Nokia Symbian Belle N8 (which replaced my Symbian N86) which has for the last few years been considered to be the best available imaging phone (nut not the best all around smartphone). Now, however, the Symbian Belle Nokia 808PV which is just hitting the streets is the consensus pick for best available camera phone. I plan to replace my N8 with the 808PV nut I'm in no hurry and I'll wait till the price settles somewhat. Purchase is probably 6 to 9 months out for me. In the interim I plan to link most camera/imaging phone posts I make to this board back to this post to create a thread (and one others can also link to if they are so inclined), and I'll probably create a post or two linked back to this one containing the URLs for some older posts from this board or others on Camera & Imaging Phones. I'll be leading off with a post linking a new podcast from the All About Symbian (AAS) and All about Windows Phone (AAWP) team headed by Rafe Blandford that focuses primarily on the Nokia N808PV. Speaking of AAS & AAWP whose Cameras guru is Steve Litchfield, this is how Steve (purely for amusement and reader interest) ranks and puts scores to the stills cameras in a range of 15 smartphones running Symbian, Android or iOS that he has tried and reviewed. 01. 90% - Nokia 808 PureView 02. 82% - Nokia N8 03. 73% - Apple iPhone 4S 04. 71% - HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S II, III 05. 67% - Nokia N82 06. 66% - Nokia N86 07. 60% - Nokia N95/N96/N97 08. 57% - Motorola Milestone XT720 09 55% - Apple iPhone 4 10. 54% - Nokia N93 Steve notes: [This was] "just for fun... The list isn't definitive, please don't start a comment war over the numbers!" There are certainly a few good ones he's missed from Samsung, Sony Ericsson, or Motorola running Symbian, Android, or Windows Mobile 6.x but based on what I know or have read that's a reasonably sound ranking. - Eric -
