If there was a “Phoenix From The Ashes” award at Mobile World Congress it’s hard to argue that Nokia wouldn’t be the most worthy recipient. Twelve months ago the company was apologetically admitting it had no new devices for MWC 2011, and today it revealed a bevy of phones that opened new doors in developing markets, pushed the envelope for Windows Phone pricing, and busted the smartphone camera segment right open. We’ve a whole lot of Nokia coverage, so head on past the cut to get up to speed.

The 41-megapixel toting smartphone certainly grabs headlines in the spec-chasing race, but in fact the real genius of PureView isn’t in counting pixels but what Nokia can do with them. The 808 PureView may not be for everyone – something Nokia readily concedes – but the PureView tech it uses is coming, at least in part, to future Nokia phones. That could truly be a game-changer.

, Feb 27th 2012 Discuss [10]

Nokia’s 808 PureView may run Symbian – an updated Nokia Belle, in fact – rather than Windows Phone, but it could still be the most attention-grabbing smartphone of MWC with its 41-megapixel sensor.
