Oh well, that supersedes the Nikon D800(E) before anyone had the
chance to buy one. ;-)

Poor Nikon :) I have the feeling that if you did with the Nikon what
they'e done with this phone, you'd end up with "180 megapixels."

It's still just a point-and-shoot.

The whitepaper says it's 41M low-quality pixels that are normally
downsampled to 5M high quality (for a phone) pixels. The phone's
digital zoom feature reduces that downsampling so that the image doesn't
degrade as much digital zoom that upsamples.

The BS is that Nokia provides 41M pix sample images that are very
clearly upsampled by at least 3x3. My guess is that marketing demanded
restoration of the 41M pixels even if it means upsampling the 5M pixels.

If they throw in a decent lens, maybe... (or not!)
And in this case, I'm talking diameter as much as focal length.

I have thought the same, at 41 Mpx the photocells will be so tiny it would keep the ISO at low numbers.

Then I had a look at the samples, they were a healthy 5 Mpx but I had the surprise to see a decent one taken at ISO 800.

That phone uses the Symbian OS, I hope they make one with Android. I'd like to have a phone with that sensor, 41 Mpx is silly but at 5 Mpx works well.

Maybe P&S cameras will be killed off by the mobile phone.

It's definitely headed that way. In an ironic twist, we see the re-
birth of the P&S "bridge" camera because of it. Nowhere to go with
P&S's except up in quality.

Their sample images (press release images) are clearly upsampled to 41M
pixels from a much smaller source. Check out the size of the hot pixel
defects - they're huge.

Did you check the images?
