@ aussieland1

Okay... although you apparently don't get the simple context of NO NAME BRAND apps, at least you mention some generic terms this time like;

-"video chat" which the 808 IS fully capable of via FRING... LOOK IT UP. and
-"music," maybe search out nokia music or ovi music... or mix radio.... ALL OF WHICH give you the options to purchase songs or albums.... or am I taking you out of "context" again????
-"Bookmarks" again possible to be synced on the 808 via your opera browser. just login and they're all there!

I've said before and I'll say it again (as I'm not sure what your agenda here is) but I'VE NEVER SAID the 808 is better than any other smartphone... only that it, in of itself, is also a capable smartphone. Still you have yet to point out one task which can not be accomplished by the 808.

Why are you so resistant to just admitting that its just as capable? (less all the name brand apps and glitz).... It's unbelievable the effort, time and energy you put into being so negative and bashing something like a phone. By the way, thanks for giving me more features to add to the list of 808 abilities.

-Camera
-Web browsing
-xenon flash
-bluetooth
-FM Transmitter
-USB host support
-HDMI
-Fully functional planner / calendar
-Timed profiles
-App support
-DLNA capability
-3.5mm video out
-removable memory
-Social networking
-Banking
-News & Weather
-Offline navigation
-Mirror link
-NFC
-Music
-Video Chat
-Bookmarks

....just curious .... please tell me of another "smartphone" that covers 100% of the listed items above?

Mlife

I was wrong about the music store -happy to admit that


But:
I thought you were after tasks that do not require name brands: isn't fring and Opera a name brand? So which one is it? And how is pointing out things that Nokia 808 can't do bashing the phone? By this logic if I say that Note 3 camera is inferior to Nokia 808 it means I am bashing Samsung?

And to answer your question no phone has xenon flash but nokia so there are no phones that can cover 100% of your list

See... progress... maybe soon enough, I'll have you praising the 808 as opposed to hating on it


I only mentioned them because I knew if I said Nokia can do all that, you would want proof... just saving myself time... but I'm glad your catching on... from here on out, if you leave out name brands I won't have any reason to respond with them either... simply mention the task and I will let you know if my 808 can or can't do that task.


Exactly my point... whereas the 808 has a 100% of the features of most other "smartphones" and in some cases even more features.

Listen, I know you don't believe I'm not trying to bust your ballz but I'm really not.... I'm simply trying to reinforce the fact that the 808 is a proper smartphone and a well capable device. Im not saying it's the best or the fastest but it is indeed capable of completing most every task which any other phone can. If you do happen to come across any other tasks you wish to challenge the 808 on, I will more than gladly reply if it is possible or not. I'm not above admitting I'm wrong either but It just drives me bonkers when people bash the device and try and make it sound as if it only takes great pictures and makes phone calls -which is clearly not the case.

Fair enough. I am sorry you think I hate Nokia 808 though to me there is a difference between pointing out things that I wish Nokia 808 could do and saying that Nokia 808 is crap. For the record I almost bought one last year but decided against it because of Nokia's lack of support for Symbian and got a lumia 1020 instead (which has now been replaced with Nokia 1520)

Anyway I think it is best to end this here before we start arguing again

I don't know that I would say I think you "hate" nokia or the 808 for that matter.... i just think for some reason you think it makes sense to try and paint it as some greatly inferior device when it well deserves respect as a proper smartphone that happens to have received the best photo capability of any other phone currently available. I think because it does that so well, people try and make it look less capable in other areas - like pointing out a supermodel and saying "omg, but did you see the way she chews".... really, WHO GIVES A F#&K, she's HOTT!!!

*also.. I like to view it as more of a passionate debate

Fair enough - I like the passionate debate term

Anyway you are right my list did include a lot of name brands glitz apps and if you think I said that to point out how inferior nokia 808 is I apologise. Believe it or not though I do use the end product of those apps though quite often ( ie watching premier league/nba highlights , playing hight Def games on my tv using the ps controller , sending money using just the phone number etc). But like I said because I use all of these it doesn't mean that I expect that everyone will or will even find them useful - which is why I can't possibly think that Nokia 808 is an inferior product. I actually used to have an Nokia N8 and before that a n97 and before that a nokia 5800 express music so I am perfectly aware of what symbian is capable of

Anyway I like your model example but I won't share that with my partner she still thinks that I believe what's inside counts more

Yea.. what can you do

By the way do you use a mail for exchange account on your 808 ? For some reason my Microsoft account is having issues syncing..



There are a many application that add to the capabilities of the 808.. c'mon now.. you know better than that. For example Joikuspot adds Wi-Fi hotspot functionality to the 808. Also, keep in mind that Symbian has a lot of things built in.. for example, there is no need for a "flashlight" app .. or a photo editor, or..voip SIP client, etc.



I see.. so you have a lot of things that you won't be able to do as well on the 808 as you do on your current device. I am not saying that the 808 can do everything, but it does most things well enough. The slow hardware is indeed a limitation.. but it all comes down to what you need the device for.

You see.. I have a Dell venue pro 8 (a Windows 8.1 x86 based machine) that I have in my bag, and my 808 can be a hotspot.. so I can do everything I need on a full fledged system if I really needed to. Also the screen on the Dell is much better for browsing and gaming.

As far as your stand alone camera.. it doesn't stand a chance against the 808 in terms of pure IQ. It has advantages such as zoom and a more powerful flash, but overall.. no contest.

Lol, what gets me is that you respond as if I said the 808 only has A CAMERA, yet you bolded exactly what I said weird.
No, I'm not playing your game of "what can it do that the 808 can't" as that is a card that could be pulled even by someone who owns a 7yearold N95 or HTC TyTNII, I could always say my GS4 can have 3 different apps in one screen, I can watch a video while web browsing or social networking or while watching another video, that it can Notify me the moment I pick it up with a vibration as it can sense it's being taken from a table, that I can check notifications by simply waving my hand over it without touching it at all, I can still watch Full Flash videos, can shoot HD1080p with both Cameras at the same time, has Infrared to Control my TV, Set-top-box, DVD player, Home theater system etc...knowing for a fact your 808 can't do those things (ooh, oops mistakenly got caught up there ), but for the most part the features themselves overall can be found in most smartphones, it's a pointless argument.

The experience, simplicity and ease of getting the same things done on a 808 is simply not as good as on an Android, and in most of the functions we've listed such as Media Consumption, Banking, Social Networking, Enterprise, HD Gaming etc... The 808 can do these to a certain point but faces limitation at points and will easily be surpassed by mid end Androids to, while in the Camera department it is untouchable, that makes it a one trick pony, it's very good at one thing while it's average at best at all else if not quite bad at others.

Yes of course I know. All I was trying to say was that it is not about being able to run brand name apps but about the capabilities that those apps are adding to the phone. I get your point and mlife's point that Nokia 808 has plenty of smartphone capabilities as it is (out of the box and through 3rd party apps) but at the same time there are some missing (which come mainly through 3rd party apps developed for android but not Symbian)

Anyway I will end here before I will make mlife angry again
