Re: Just updated, and I see zero improvement in the camera
Yeah right. Let me exchange my 4.5" screen and 1280x768 resolution and dual cores for a 3" screen with the resolution of a wristwatch and an obsolete and ugly OS.
If I cared THAT much about photography, I'd just get a DSLR that would put the 808 to shame.
The 808 is a much better smartphone than most people and bloggers make it out to be.. speaking from personal experience, I would say it holds its own against any smartphone currently on sale. I've been using it alongside an iPhone 5 for about 3 months now, and.. there is no way I will give it up for the iPhone 5.. maybe in certain situations, but overall the 808 is the better smartphone for my needs.
So.. different people, different needs. If you want to read an objective opinion on the matter.. check this out:
Flagship head to head: Nokia 808 vs Lumia 920 vs Google Nexus 4
Same guys who did all the camera stuff and reviews for the 920..
As far as getting a DSLR ... if you have an 808 I would say that it covers 90% of what a
amateur photographer (average user) might need. Again, speaking from experience.. I have a DSLR, yes an older one, but is a proper camera, and I don't really use as much as I do my 808..
In fact, so its not all bla bla .. last week a did a quick vs. with my D400, 808, and my iphone 5 .. take a look, see for yourself what the 808 is capable of:

I don't know why skydrive put all the photos from the DSLR in the back.. but they are all there.
Still.. I am not sure why people keep expecting the 920 to perform like the 808.. that is simply not possible with the available hardware in the phone.
edit.
Here is how useless the iphone 5 is compared to the 808 when it comes to flash photography ...
