An interesting skin case for your Nokia 808

Published on 2 July 2012 by

I ordered mine directly, after I saw the post from Clinton Jeff on Unleashthephones.com: the Amzer Soft Gel Gloss Skin Case. That’s a lot of words for what looks like a very nice protective cover for your Nokia 808 PureView. What I’m hearing about it lately, chances are you will get the case before you’ll get the phone, but hey: you’ll have it protected right away…

His review with many pictures is here. His site links to an Indian part of the producer, however, here’s their UK department where I ordered mine, and this is the link for the Americans who were lucky enough to obtain their 808 PureView already (anyone?). And no, I’m not getting any percentage, alas. But I’m taking the liberty to embed Jeff’s video of it. Thanks for the tip Clinton – and the video :-)

Amazon.co.uk removed Nokia 808 PureView?

Published on 2 July 2012 by

Bad news? I can’t tell you, but I have asked @Nokia_UK already if they know why Amazon.co.uk seems to have removed the Nokia 808 PureView from its website. You will still find accessories, but what good are they if you can’t order the smartphone itself over there?

There is hope however: I didn’t notice the change before, but the UK is on the worldwide availability list Nokia offers. I reckon UK customers will become a lot more cranky over the next days :-( To be continued, no doubt…

Thanks Robert Tuffin

Support the PureViewClub (if you like and can)

Published on 2 July 2012 by

You might have noticed a new button on the right hand of this page, leading you to PayPal. The thing is, I’m running out of bandwith and really want to keep the PureViewClub alive.  And I’d like to keep the amount of banners to a minimum, to keep the club as “pure” as possible.

So I’d like to ask you for a voluntary contribution. Quite simple: via PayPal. I’ve opened an account and if you like what I’m doing and you think it’s worth more than just your time, feel free to make a donation. I will keep trying to inform you about whatever there is to know about the Nokia 808 PureView, and get the answers to your questions as well. Thank you very much in advance!

Beautiful views of Jordan, made with the Nokia 808 PureView

Published on 2 July 2012 by

On the Dutch website Reizen.nl (Reizen means “to travel”), I found some fantastic pictures made in Jordan made with the Nokia 808 PureView – apparantly he could take one with him on a trip the organisation organized to review it.

The pictures on the site are quite small, so I wrote the photographer Joris van Drooge to ask if I could post them on this site as well. And he  was happy to share his pictures in the PureViewClub, so here they are, and I even have the full resolution results on my dedicated Flickr site, where I have created a special set for your convenience (link below).

I’ve numbered them myself in no particular order. Enjoy!

Great videotest Nokia 808 PureView vs Nokia N8 and Samsung Galaxy S III

Published on 2 July 2012 by

Well, this is a test you will like. You will find an  huge test on TechProlonged.com comparing the video capacities – and much more – of the Nokia 808 PureView, the Nokia N8 and the Samsung Galaxy S III. I can only say it’s worth your while! You can find the complete comparison here. For now I will only embed the link the site is offering on YouTube. Enjoy!

The bokeh effect – in front of a train

Published on 2 July 2012 by

It looks like you need nerves of steel to make shots like these, but it’s more likely the train is on a break. Anyway: I love pics like these. There’s a certain tension about them, also because the train represents a clear and present danger when you are looking at it from this end of the tracks…

Josué Giménez from NokiaMovilblog in Venezuela shared these fantastic pictures on Twitter and liked me to share them at the PureViewClub, and I’m glad to! You will not find any other “camphone” making shots like these, I’m sure.

So here they are, you’ll find links to original 8MP version below the resized pictures, and you will find them again in Josué’s blog soon.

Original 8MP format  here

I’ve shown you the pictures in the order I saw them for the first time – it’s like someone is looking away from the train, bowing his head – it makes the tension of this series even stronger, don’t you think? The details are stunning!

Muchas gracias Josué, and please: keep ‘m coming this good! :-)
