She probably doesn't want to miss one of those so-called "Kodak"-moments
, my wife was the same, she didn't want to miss any cute moments with our two girls, so her compact was always with her, but now she trusts her phone to take good enough pictures, which it does.
Smartphones won't be able to replace DSLRs and medium format cameras for hobby- and professional photographers, but I'm sure, they'll soon replace the point-and-shoot compacts.

Davidsic... Thanks for sharing !
But some information in this review are wrong !
For example:
The range of the xenon flash of 1020 is 3 meters and not 4 meters !
Forgetting this, in fact the 1020 Pureview is a good cameraphone and legitimate successor of Lumia 920/925/928 Pureview !

I wonder what those stating that the 1020 is no competition to the 808 would say after reading this piece from Dinning..
The difference between the two phones is obvious: different philosophies used for processing.
Even on sharpening, I tend to agree with Nokia's approach over the request of using less sharpening..
The reasoning for this is all obvious as well. Cameraphones are all about the average Joe not the photography enthusiasts. I would never use a 1020 or an 808 to shoot a wedding, or a sports event, or a pro like portrait photography, or of course use it as primary camera even if my DSLR means more space and hassle carrying it around!
With the 808 Nokia knew it won't sell mainstream and mainly addressed at the loyal Nokia photography fans and those hardcore photographers who would use the 808 as a secondary compact camera. So they didn't want to disappoint them.
But with the 1020 they wanted to sell mainstream. And the mainstream wants an iPhone-like camera. Sharp, vibrant colors..
And it makes sense for a compact anyway.
I would never post-process an image from my phone. Come on! Will never waste time on that. Enough time spent on processing RAW content from my DSLR!
I want ready to share and occasionally print images. Either way in small sizes. So 5 MP makes perfect sense, as I would be sharing them online socially, or print them small.
So what's the need of pixel peeping to spot some noise and artifacts?! And what's the use of neutral coloring approach of I'm never be retouching them on PC?!
When I use neutral settings on DSLR in the rare cases I shoot in JPEG I know I will be readjusting the color slides afterwards. No serious photographer leaves an image in pale lifeless colors!
Think practically people not getting stuck in the abstract!
Of course there will always be room for optimizations and enhancements.. So Nokia have a job to bring in some new feature additions and optimize the camera output in some conditions where it skews the results..
But overall, the 1020 is the new benchmark. Live wit it!

All you have to do is look at the images... the 1020 comes close to the 808, but it does not surpass it. To me its pretty obvious.. otherwise, if I felt like it was an upgrade, I would have a 1020 by now since imaging is the most important aspect of a smartphone for me.
Unfortunately it is indeed a downgrade from the 808 overall.. its a shame since I was really looking forward to this.
The other disappointment is the Sony Z1 .. I was expecting big sensor, big pixels, and a Xenon flash.. instead we got 20 million 1.4 micron pixels, weak flash, and questionable jpeg processing in the initial firmware.
