Nokia 808 PureView could skip North America

Nokia 808 PureView could skip North America Back in November last year, Nokia did mention that they will not be rolling out new Symbian-powered phones in the US, and since the 41-megapixel shooter known as the Nokia 808 PureView was released with Symbian as its operating system of choice, it is no surprise to hear that the Finnish phone manufacturer has decided to overlook the US in terms of a Symbian-powered PureView. Makes perfect sense, no? However, I believe that there is a way “out” of this disappointing news to some – that Nokia will deliver PureView with Windows Phone running inside, so until there is an official announcement from Nokia that the 808 PureView will not arrive Stateside regardless of operating system, we will still hold out that candle of hope burning, keeping our fingers crossed that it will not be extinguished in any way. Do you think that you need a smartphone that can capture 41-megapixel images?

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
