I think the real news of the release is that it records 41 megapixels and makes a 5 megapixel image out of those. One pixel is calculated from 7 pixels on the sensor to eliminate noise, and the resulting image is supposed to greatly benefit from that.

It has sensor larger than the one in Ricoh GRDIII or IV. I am really curios. Sample photos look good. Let's see about the OS - I have not heard much good about Symbian ...

I can't remember a Nokia phone released in the last few years that didn't have a Zeiss lens... but I'm sure there have been some?

Sounds like my next phone. I'm amazed more streetshooters havent yet discovered the beauty of a cellphone for street shots. The ubiquity of phones allows you to photograph basically anything unmolested as long as you do so with a modicum of discretion i.e. just play dumb and act like youre doing something with your phone.
