Introduced at Mobile World Congress, Nokia PureView 808 is the best camera phone that money can buy. It has received a lot of positive review for its 41-megapixel rear snapper. The smartphone is currently available in European and Asian market. However, the U.S. release of this phone was being doubted. And though Nokia might never release this smartphone through a cellular network carrier in U.S., the company has confirmed that it will sell the unlocked version of PureView 808 through Amazon U.S.
The Finnish mobile major announced on its Conversations blog on Tuesday that it will offer the smartphone in the U.S. through Amazon. The retailer will be selling the unlocked version of the smartphone for $699 with preorders scheduled to begin later this week. The PureView 808 supports GSM networks only. So, it will not work on Verizon Wireless or other CDMA networks. Nokia has confirmed that the smartphone will be functional over AT&T and T-Mobile network.

Packing 41-megapixel Carl Zeiss optic sensor, PureView 808 is better in photography than most of digital cameras available in the market. The maximum effective resolution in PureView 808 is 38 megapixels. Utilizing Creative Shooting mode, it can capture photos at a resolution of 7728 X 5354 pixels in 16:9 format or 7152 X 5368 pixels in 4:3 formats. However, Nokia recommends 5-megapixel settings for capturing a perfect noiseless image.
At 5-megapixel capture resolution, PureView 808 utilizes the concept of oversampling to pack up to 7 pixels in one single pixel to capture a completely noiseless photo. By zooming-in the image up to 3 times, there is no loss in quality of image without any artificial pixels produced. The smartphone also records 1080p videos at 30fps with 4X loseless zoom. Crisp clear audio recording takes place even at a high level of 140 db.
The rest of the features include 4-inch AMOLED display with 360 X 640 pixels resolution, Gorilla Glass protection, 1.3GHz ARM processor, 512MB RAM and 16GB internal storage with microSD card support up to 32GB. The PureView 808 runs Nokia Belle OS. The regular connectivity features like Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth, microUSB and GPS are all there.

Nokia 808 PureView makes US debut, still no word on UK availability - mobot.net
The reason we ask is that Nokia has just made the 808 PureView official in the US, effectively upgrading it from “coming ever?” to “coming soon”.
The 41-megapixel mobile snapper was unveiled for the first time back at Mobile World Congress in February, and it's no exaggeration to say that it stole the whole Show, something just about nobody would have thought possible from a device running everyone's favourite OS whipping boy Symbian.
Since then, however, the 808 PureView has largely been a homage to how Nokia used to launch phones all too regularly: make a big deal about it, do nothing for months than finally start selling it just when everyone has completely forgotten about it.
That last part probably won't happen with the 808 considering just how unique it really is, but Nokia seems to be doing its best anyway. We've had pre-order pages and about five or six different supposed launch dates, yet here we are running down the clock to the second half of the year and we still have no idea when we'll be seeing it.
June 21 – as in Thursday – seemed a good bet for a long while, but that's now looking unlikely and it seems those who said the 808 PureView will only arrive in July are going to be proved right.
That's unless it only arrives in August, of course...

O2′s cross-platform chat app Tu Me hits Android - Euro Droid
Telefonica, which we know here as the owner of mobile network O2, has launched an Android app called Tu Me, which offers users of phones across all UK networks a way to chat, send photos of cats, make excuses about not being on time and so on within a nice little app.
If you can convince someone else to install the Tu Me app you’re then able to make and send free calls and texts between the two you, using your phone’s data allowance or a wi-fi connection, plus Telefonica says it supports “HD sound” for voice calls.
Clare, I’m busy. And I’ve told you not to use this number. Tu Me is free and on the Play Store here. It looks nice and was pretty well received on iOS last month.
Google Offers Now Available for iPhone - Mashable
Google Offers app is now available for the iPhone. The app is only available in the United States with deals located in a wide swath of major metropolitan areas. A complete list of cities can be found on the Google Offers website. Users can find nearby offers suing the app’s map view, or they can search for specific deals by category.
After purchasing a deal, you can easily track your offers in the My Offers section of the app. Deals can be redeemed instantly from your iPhone without having to spend time remembering to print and bring your voucher.
Google Offers can be downloaded in the App Store for free. It is designed for the iPhone and iPod touch but is also compatible with the iPad.
Google’s iOS availability may be huge for its Offers platform. When the Android version of the app launched last fall, users spent three times more time on the app compared to the site. That’s a pretty big difference.
As of publishing time, the featured deal is for new Netflix streaming subscribers. After watching three movies or TV shows on the service, you can receive two movie tickets for $1.
