It does not look like this.
Methinks its an evolution of the 925
But i dont think i would mind what it looked like, coming from an owner of an N8 and 808 Pureview
It does not look like this.
As for EOS 1 and EOS 2, I really have no idea. If this summer phone will really carry that full blown 41MP camera right away It would seem weird to release another full blown PureView phone in Q4 already. Certainly they will improve and use that module again.
My initial idea was that Nokia would need to wait for Qualcomm 600 or 800 to get that sensor inside the phone, so they would have released stopgap with 10-22MP phone before that.

There is no EOS2, Max is the only Nokia project post EOS this year
I wonder why is so difficult porting oversampling and loseless zoom technology to WP8. I've read something about Symbian is a real-time OS and WP8 isn't, but exactly why is it such an important thing?
And for vlad0, introducing the OIS system from Lumia 920/925/928 into the huge 808 sensor would make Lumia EOS far better than the last one, so probably EOS is the phone dsmobile referred...
Do we KNOW that its going to run WP or WinRT? or...WIn8?
Broadcom GPU
The smooth zooming wasn't done by Nokia or Accenture engineers but by the guy sitting over the desk from me at Broadcom (Cambridge), who supplied the GPU. In fact the majority of camera software work was done here, including the video stabilisation (that was a pain!) although there were some Accenture contractors involved, a couple in software work, the rest in testing.
As for why Pureview is still not yet on the Windows - AFAIK there are still no Windows compatible GPU's that can handle the sensor. I've heard rumours of some interesting camera tech from Nokia/Toshiba (the Pureview 41MP sensor was developed by Toshiba) on the horizon, but still nothing has appeared.
As to the phone itself, I have one, and the biggest problem is the very erratic wireless. The latest update fixed it for a while, but after a few days, stopped connecting to my home router and has never recovered. Works fine in other places, and the router works fine with every other devices I've ever tried to connect. Most odd. Battery life is great, and it's a solid bit of kit compared with the S.Korea devices I now work on!
...or at least give specific parts of the OS for Nokia to code themselves.
Microsoft has given Nokia access to the entire WP8 code base. Not only does Nokia have access, but also the right to make whatever modifications they desire. So far, Nokia just hasn't made use of that right.
But isn't Nokia implementing the double-tap-to-wake and always on clock features for Lumia in the upcoming "Amber" update? Aren't these exactly the kind of modifications they've been allowed to do?

Those rights Nokia were given had not ever been opened. It's something nice to say to your investors when they jumped to WP. I example doubt Nokia has any real keys for kernel changes. So far the changes are much more on the surface delivered using Nokia's extras "app".
an 808 camera with OIS
Why do people praise the "Pureview" mode of the 808 (and EOS) if it's really just glorified image resizing and pixel binning?
I am sure it doesn't.. that's just a silly render someone made. How would you describe it ? 808-ish or 920-ish ? ; )
920-ish, a little more square and feels a little thinner (except where camera hump is). No screws at the bottom like on the 920.
