Unique Nokia 808 PureView coming to America [Updated]

Published by Jeppe Christensen on June 19, 2012

Nokia 808 PureView White for NAM

 Nokia is responding to consumer interest and is working together with Amazon.com to launch the Nokia 808 PureView smartphone in the United States. 

The revolutionary smartphone will be available unlocked and unsubsidized through Amazon.com. U.S. consumers will be able to purchase the Nokia 808 PureView for $699 and use it with a compatible SIM card from AT&T. It will also work with T-Mobile. – but only at 2G speeds. 

UPDATE: We incorrectly stated that the Nokia 808 PureView would only work with T-Mobile at 2G speeds. This was caused by an error in the spec sheet. We’re sorry about any confusion. The Nokia 808 PureView works just fine with T-Mobile in the United States.

The Nokia 808 PureView features a 41-megapixel sensor with our highest performance Carl Zeiss optics to date and Nokia’s brand-new pixel oversampling technology.

PureView technology means that taking typically sized shots, the camera can use oversampling to combine up to seven pixels into one “pure” pixel, eliminating the visual noise found on other mobile phone cameras. See how the phone stacked up against competitors across the industry in a recent blind test by GSMarena readers.

On top of that, you can zoom in up to 3X without losing any of the details in your shot and there are no artificially created pixels in your picture, either.

The Nokia 808 PureView also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X lossless zoom and the world’s first use of Nokia Rich Recording, which enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality, previously only possible with external microphones

This revolutionary technology has been the culmination of years of hard work by our imaging team, and the Nokia 808 PureView has been met with overwhelming interest from consumers all over the world. Working with Amazon.com, we’re making sure that the interest we’ve seen in the United States is being met. Elements of Nokia’s PureView technology will be integrated into future Windows Phone devices.

Pre-sales start on Amazon.com later this week.  Sign up right here to be notified when the Nokia PureView 808 is on sale.

    If it is unlocked why do you mention carriers? Please be more specific, I’m going to US  for holidays but in my country there is no AT&T nor T-Mobile

    • http://phoneboy.com phoneboy

      AT&T and T-Mobile are the two GSM providers in the US and they use different frequencies for 3G. Only the ones AT&T uses are supported by this handset.

      • V1ado

        the 808 is penta band WCDMA.. it should work on TMO’s 3G network, just like the N8 did.

        • David C.

          Looking at the 808′s specs page on the Nokia website, the 3G 1700mhz frequency is not supported. This is T-Mobile’s 3G band. 

        • http://twitter.com/ArthurGD3 Arthur

          David C. is right.  Nokia’s site clearly states it only supporting AT&T’s 3g frequency, unfortunate.

          • V1ado

            Their developer site states that it has the WCDMA Band IV (1700/2100) .. hXXp://bit.ly/x7kdVP

    I thought the 808 was pentaband 3g?

    • V1ado

      Its a premium device.. They’ve been saying that since February. 

  • http://twitter.com/ArthurGD3 Arthur

    $699 and only compatible with AT&T’s 3G means its a no-go for me. Will have to continue using my N8 or get myself a Galaxy Nexus.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/DFVCD6KPGETW5ATRFTGIIYBNCM Jianliang Li

    Looking over at the supported frequencies from Nokia Dev. site, it should be compatible with both AT&T 3G and T-Mobile (HSPA+)3.5G networks, just like the N8. The 808 is a pentaband device.

    • Stylinred

       yeah that remark made no sense (nokia)

    This Cellphone Can Be Used In ALL Carriers In The Wolrd Because The 3G’s Bands Are 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 Sorry For My Bad English ENJOY ^_^

  • Stylinred

    it should be available right now…. why is stock sooooo slow… even the countries where its available now don’t even have stock….and we’ve got to wait a few more months for the USA? and at $699?! that’s more expensive than ordering from Asia/europe

  • Tony

    So Nokia is downselling this device telling the world that it can only do 2G at T-Mobile frequency? If it is unlocked, it can do 3G just like any other Symbian phone from 3 years ago.

  • http://www.facebook.com/extrajuancho15 Juancho Medina

    I think it’s huge expensive in fact the Samsung Galaxy S3 it’s over 665$ someone can tell me what’s nokia’s mind on?

    • Harri V

      Well, S3 is just “normal” smartphone. This has 41mpix camera.

  • steelicon

    @Jeppezdk:twitter   Can you please clarify? Did Nokia INTENTIONALLY remove the Pentaband chip supporting all 3G bands, including T-Mobile? This is a 3G WORLD phone.

    • steelicon

      Why gimp your own products, @Nokia:twitter @NokiaUS:twitter ? Why deliberately go out of your way just to piss your loyal user base and customers? Why remove the 1700 band? Just sell the darned 3G World Phone model in the USA as it is. @Jeppezdk:twitter  @selop:twitter @phonedaz:twitter 

  • gg55592

    Let me get this straight. You make a U.S. version and the one difference
    is that you make it quadband 3G instead of pentaband like the
    international version? The one thing you do is remove the 1700 Mhz
    frequency necessary to work on T-Mobile U.S.? So Europe gets 1700 Mhz,
    even though it has not need for it, and the U.S. doesn’t, even though
    T-Mobile U.S. is one of the few carriers to use 1700 Mhz? Why are you
    deliberately going out of your way to exclude T-Mobile customers? Why
    don’t you just sell the pentaband international version in the U.S.,
    since it already works here on AT&T and T-Mobile anyway? This has to
    be the dumbest product release decision every. 

    • http://twitter.com/JJNippala Jari-Jukka Nippala

       According to Nokia FIN and USA webpages the hardware specs are the same.

  • http://twitter.com/jGRite GhaV jGRite

    This time it’s AT&T that gets the 3G. It’s the N900 all over again. HA HA for T-Mobile.

  • TechInsane

    Who, in their right mind would sign up to at&t? no thanks.

  • droopyar

    Pureview 808 is much better phone that samsung s3. It has symbian belle FP1 and soon FP2. Hope Elop keep investing in symbian as it is by far the best OS.  

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jason-Vernon/589836602 Jason Vernon

    There is no reason for these devices to NOT be pentaband 3G. The n9 is. Can be used on any carrier. This is a handout to AT&T in the US. Annoying, indeed.

    Great news for US

  • http://mobipedia.in Hardeep Singh

    Do you want a real life example of an inside job. Here it is.

     

    Cash strapped Nokia that desperately needs to sell phones to stay afloat
    decides (forced?) to sell Symbian phones in the US after openly announcing they
    won’t be selling anything other than WP7 in the US. 808 is a pentaband 3G phone
    just like every other flagship Symbian phone in the last few years, making it a
    3G world phone. For its release in the US, Nokia chooses AT&T and T-mobile
    as network partners. For T-mobile they go back and remove the pentaband radio
    to add a 4 band one and they excluded the exact same frequency of 3G that’s used
    by T-Mobile 1700 Mhz. Now the T-Mobile version of the phone will only run on
    2G.

     

    And then they would say, Symbian is so old and outdated, it was quickly
    rejected by the US audience.

     

    Makes me wonder if Elop real motive is to make Nokia bankrupt.

    My goodness even the Nokia Asha 302 and Nokia Asha 303 have Pentaband 3G, even 3.5G! And this? This crowning achievement crippled / gimped? Are you trying to dampen the sales of the RM-807? So that only a few people will buy it so you could say it is a failure?

     Blame Elop for that! God! This man realy wants to kill Symbian quickly!!

  • JasonBoss

    Now wait for some executive to announce “We don’t plan to support this phone”, “Lumia PureVideo is just around the corner”  or something to that extent.
    In the last 2 years Nokia introduces new product and then immediately, some VIP undermines it in public???
    The worse the sales the better?

    Is the goal to wipe out old Nokia out of existence to build “Lumia Empire” on the ashes?

    • NMo9

      They have already done that in this article: “Elements of Nokia’s PureView technology will be integrated into future Windows Phone devices.”

    selling for $520 in the Middle East and $540 in Singapore.

  • jake 20

    wow.. I was all ready to spend my hard earned cash on this phone here in the US, but there is no way I will pay $700 for this. I can get it imported for less!! 
    Geez Nokia, what are you doing here??

  • http://twitter.com/usamasheriff Usama Sheriff Ⓐ

    So here’s how I reckon the discussions went last week:

    Microsoft: We’re launching something on June 18
    Nokia: What’s that then? We don’t know about any June 18 event?
    Microsoft: Oh, it’s nothing?
    Nokia: Ok then.

    (Nokia then hears via Engaget that Microsoft is building their OWN tablet and hasn’t told Nokia.)

    Nokia: What’s going on? I thought I was your favourite?
    Microsoft: Well, you know how it is…
    Nokia: Well, you know how we’re the only ones selling ANY of your Windows phones in the US?
    Microsoft: Yes…
    Nokia: And you know how you got your Elop man to cancel Symbian everywhere else in the world because of the US?
    Microsoft: Yes…
    Nokia: Well screw you then. We’re going to do a US launch of the most talked about Symbian phone in the world on the same day as your stupid non-Nokia tablet.

    (Microsoft walks off. It’s not really that bothered.)

    Is this the beginning of the end for Microsoft and Nokia?

    • Alex_a_Chemist

      Sincerely doubt this has any validity, a launch of the 808 in the U.S. would’ve been prepped for months. 

  • http://twitter.com/bluechrism Chris Martin

    I see a lot of people here had the same question as i do, or at least a similar one. If indeed the 808 US version doesn’t include the frequencies for T-Mobile, you have to ask why?

    It makes little sense to me, after all, T-Mobile is the only major US network where you can get a discount for bringing your own phones (The Value plans on contract).  And when you buy your expensive 808 you might want to use it on an affordable network.

    AT&T are the biggest, but hardly means they are the best, or most affordable, or even have the best coverage in any given area (though generally speaking they have way better coverage than T-Mobile, but where I’m sat right now, my co-workers with AT&T can’t get reception but T-Mo customers can).

    I would encourage Nokia to make sure as many of their devices can end up on multiple carriers in the US, especialy for devices sold unlocked.  I know AT&T has to have exclusivity on most new devices the carrier will carry, but please ensure that the other 3 major carriers have some good devices.  It was like this with the Lumia 800 too and honestly, I would have one right now except it won’t work on T-Mobile and I’m not alone in that.

    For expensive unlocked phones, people won’t want to switch carrier to use them, this defeats the point of it being unlocked. The idea is that if you are mid contract you can take your T-Mobile/Simple Mobile/STraightTalk/Go-Phone/AT&T sim and stick it in the phone and it will just work. I doubt any T-Mobile or Simple Mobile customers will be giving this a try any time soon.

    We love that NOkia was releasing Pentaband phones and one of the major selling points of the Galaxy Nexus is that it has a pentaband radio in too.  The US tech press appreciate unlocked phones having that portability between carriers and so do us customers. We’re not expecting it on phones launched on AT&T or on T-Mobile through the carriers, but please, please,please make sure unlocked phones for the US market can work to their full potential on any US network.

  • jake 20

    $699 is NOT a reasonable price for this.

    UPDATE: We incorrectly stated that the Nokia 808 PureView would only

    I was getting concerned that it would only be 2G speeds on T-Mobile, then I saw the update. Thank you Nokia for not leaving us without this great Symbian phone! I look forward to purchasing this amazing piece of hardware.

  • PiCASSiMO

    Alright… I have a question for everyone.  With the 1700/2100 radio frequencies sold in the US phones, that will work with T-Mobile network, will I see 4G speeds as I do right now with my T-Mobile G2?

    • J_a_s_o_n

      With my N9, t identified my data connection as “3.5″ which would correspond to HSPA+ (Similarly the Atrix “4G” was not LTE, but faster 3g)

    • Deaconclgi

      The 808 and the G2 have the same HSPA+ max of 14.4Mbps so theoretically, YES, you will see the same 4G speeds, barring any software/hardware optimizations.

      The 808 will NOT show 4G as the “4G” is just an icon that is used by the carriers and is interchangeable regardless of the actual connection.

      It is the same way that the Lumia 710 on T-Mobile shows “4G” whereas Nokia’s icon is “3.5G” as Jason has stated below.

      Same thing with my N900, 3.5G but only up to 10Mbps.

  • http://www.davidar.org Jonathan Davidar

    Congratulations! Good news. Finally, we can get some real Nokia goodies. I also notice you have Nokia N9 on your Business phones section. That is also good news – when is the N9 coming out! What about the N950 – the E7 needs support! And business users would love it.

    • NMo9

      I don’t think the N950 will ever make it to production.

    • Hafiz Haseeb

      But i am a student so what mobile should i have…..?

  • Deaconclgi

    Jeppe Christensen, is Nokia going to update all of the Spec Sheets to reflect this misinformation on ALL of their websites?

    Band/Carrier compatibility is of utmost importance when choosing a device, especially an unlocked device.

    Also, are you able to contact someone to update the Nokia Developer 808 spec page? It still shows the device as “Excluding North America”.

    We all simply want Nokia to succeed and having accurate information is very important in the effort to be successful.

    Thank you.

    • http://www.facebook.com/chintannapster Chintan Dave

      Yes. please do. 

  • NMo9

    Thank you for the update. Can you please Nokia’s consumer website team to update the specs of 808 to include the WCDMA Band IV in their specs.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/5FOYZ3MR234VKNX4G7B4T2AWWY Gary

     The countries that are selling the 808 are selling them out and waiting for new stock. This phone gets more hits on GSMArena than the S3. From what I gather the N8 sold fairly well in the USA and this is a great upgrade to that. Now that it will work on T-Mobiles 3g the interest will be high.  The only negative is they are debuting it at $699 which is too high compared to $540 in other countries.

  • kkt45

    Thanks Nokia for bringing the 808 to US. My only concern is about the price. $699 is way out of line. This makes me question Nokia marketing strategies. The Samsung SIII is selling for $650 unlocked. and will be subsidized for $199 through subscribers. For unlocked phone, nokia should come down on the  price for the 808 if they want to see increase in sales here. 
    In my opinion $549.00.

    I don’t understand why nokia will reduce the price of Lumia phones to increase sales but will increase the price of the 808 pureview to limit sales or??

     

    • http://twitter.com/DiscoverYellow Discoveryellow

      I would pay $549 if it ran MeeGo or Win7 (8?). My N9 was $529 with 64Gb and A2DP it was a good deal.
      The $699 would be best saved towards a Nikon D800.

    • http://twitter.com/DiscoverYellow Discoveryellow

       Hm.. It costs same in Russia, where it launched earlier..

  • dividebyzero

    So the 808 is really coming to every part of the planet except Latin America? Sad.

    • steelicon

      For now, yep, including Brasilia, where they have a Nokia manufacturing plant for Nokia 808 PureView.

      • dividebyzero

        And don’t forget that some of the first PureView demo pictures were taken in this year’s Carnaval in Rio!

  • hugo

    so this super phone is not coming to mexico?

  • http://www.facebook.com/debashisroy.deba Debashis Roy Deba

    wow… that’s great!!!

  • Suriya Narayanan

    I don’t think this phone is worth the price. Apart from having an excellent resolution camera, it lacks apps that utilize it such as metaio’s AR apps. One can not even port OpenCV to Symbian. Then why this high cost????

    • xsacha

      OpenCV works on Symbian. The port was done roughly 5-7 years ago and was maintained until 2010. Still works though.

  • Bruce Keffer

    With the prize set at $699 the 41 megapixel camera is the draw. You can’t buy a camera with 41 megapixels quality at that price. Heck I’d get one even  if I couldn’t use it as a phone.

  • xnay

    Dear Nokia: I would buy it right now if only:
    1) it sported a non-dead OS, but I could even live with dead Symbian if it was close to other modern OS. Unfortunately it isn’t, it’s years behind Android or any modern OS like iOS or even Windows Phone. And there’s no doubt about it, you can look at any review and compare for example internet browsers in Samsung Galaxy S3 and this phone (yes, SGS 3, because you put the 808 in the same price category!),

    2) it sported a higher-res display. 640×360 = you must be joking! Imagine people browse the web these days with their phones, this is really uncomfortable with this small resolution. Today’s standard is 1280×720 screen. 

    3) it had better battery, 1300 mAh is to small.

    I know some reasons behind the decisions made, like the technology being developed for a few years and that you were ready to release this in this form only at the moment but I’m afraid people don’t care about them much. They will compare the specs with other phones and the result is obvious. Of course when it comes to camera performance there’s no match for the 808, but people do some other things also with their phones than taking pictures.
    ———

    As for the camera technology: this is really amazing, you did something no other company did, you just need to put this great technology in a modern phone. Ideally this would be an Android phone, unfortunately you’re stuck with a closed-source OS (WP) that you can’t adjust for yourself like you could with Android and you have to ask Microsoft for every singe change in the code you would need. 

    But that’s how it is right now so just release a Windows Phone with this great technology, 720p screen, good battery and you’ll really attract many people because there’s no other phone that could offer such great camera performance.

      How about actually getting hands on and trying the device before saying whats bad about it? A little high price (but well worth it) and bad browser I can agree on. Havent tried Opera yet though that is supposed to be alot better.

      Havent found anything in Android or IOS that I miss in Nokia Belle though (remember, its far from the old symbian theese days). Or okay, my banks app is only available to Android and IOS, so I gotta log in to see my account balance. Oh no! The end of the world! *coughs*

      The display is not an issue, beautiful colors, and Im not holding the small 4″ display an inch from my eyes so not bothered about it. (And yet I dont like watching movies at home that are less then 1080p on my 40″ screen cause even 720p looks worse. Thats how little I feel differs on phonedisplays.)

      And the size of the battery says nothing about batterylife when your compairing different OS and power consumption devices. Even when taking photos it lasts longer then thoose other phones.

        It’s nice to hear that you’re happy with this phone.

        I was hoping to get my hands on this PureView technology when the new Nokia WP 8 devices arrive. 

        Nokia press conference is scheduled for tomorrow, unfortunately judging from the leaks they are planning to release a “Pure View” phone with a 8 MP sensor, which sounds ridiculous to me. But I’ll hold my final judgment until the official announcement.
