Nokia 808 PureView: Best camera in a phone, but partnered with dead OS

Nokia sent out review units wrapped in a cool Golla bag. Unfortunately, you can't purchase this particular kit so it all goes back to Nokia soon.

You can use the bag to carry a tablet and several phones.

The Nokia 808 PureView came with several accessories to test out. These include a rechargeable battery, hard case, microHDMI cable, and tripod.

These new accessories will help you stay connected, protected, and charged up.

The Nkia 808 PureView comes in a typical blue box. While the read PureView is shown on the back in this view, I was sent a white one to check out.

The PureView looks great in the box, but it is definitely a thick phone.

The camera is the most prominent feature of the Nokia 808 PureView.

The 808 PureView fits well in hand with the 4 inch display. The Gorilla glass display is well protected.

The 808 PureView is a thick phone, especially by today's standards.

The top contains the 3.5mm headset jack, microUSB port, and microHDMI port.

The volume button, lock switch, and camera capture button are found on the right side of the Nokia 808 PureView.

Here you can see the Nokia N9, Nokia 808 PureView, and Nokia N8.

This view shows the different camera modules of the Nokia N9, Nokia 808 PureView, and Nokia N8.

A USB cable, charger, and wired stereo headset is included in the 808 PureView retail package.

The new DC-16 comes in a rather unique form factor with an included matching charging cable.

There is a USB port on one end of the charger that you use to connect cables to devices you wish to charge.

The microUSB port is used to charge up the rechargeable battery.

Nokia switched to using microHDMI instead of miniHDMI that we saw on the Nokia N8.

You don't get the cable in the package and have to purchase it separately.

You can purchase a hard case for the Nokia 808 PureView.

The hard case comes with a removable camera lens cover.

This photo was taken at the lake last weekend.

We had a small reunion with cousins we haven't seen for years.

The lake was cool and refreshing.

Thankfully my nephew is still small enough to ride on my shoulders.

We just picked up a new pomeraniann puppy. Isn't she cute?

The new puppy loves people, especially Kari.

Watch out for those sharp new puppy teeth.

The grass was nice and cool on a hot day.

When you whistle the puppy rotates her head.

My beautiful wife and I were departing for a date night at the comedy club.

The puppy found a small pillow and decided to take a nap.

The puppy passes out a lot and is enjoying some couch time here.

Someone painted this racoon on a wall in Seattle.

The white building used to be the tallest, but now the black one touches the sky in Seattle.

This is an old advertisement on a brick wall in Seattle.
