#2I've got a 900 right now. I've been waiting for this phone.
Not that it isn't totally overkill for my needs...

#3megapixels are pretty meaningless.
A decent bottom end DSLR (Nikon D3100 for example) will run rings around it simply because of the sensor size and optics.

#4megapixels are pretty meaningless. A decent bottom end DSLR (Nikon D3100 for example) will run rings around it simply because of the sensor size and optics.
Which is why the phone generates a 8MP picture with the extra information from the 41M and reducing noise.

Perhaps read the whitepaper before knocking it down as meaningless?

If you're comparing a phone camera with a DSLR, that's already saying something.
Here's a review of the technology by a digital photography site.

#5That has to be a misprint. although it appears to be spread all over the place. If you took photos at full resolution all you would achieve is using up all your disk space and making it harder to sync with other devices etc.
Unless I have really missed something this must be a mistake.
Edit: As noted by jcarney it looks like the high MP sensor is sampled down to create smaller files with high quality over-sampled pixels. That is quite exciting.

Right, that looks like the thing that I missed. Thanks for the link :)

#7Seems a bit overkill. Is this a phone with a camera or a camera with a phone?

#8Nokia N9 camera quality already killed any reason to buy compact cameras if you also carry smartphone (unless you need zoom with compact but nobody seems to need it). It had already image quality that matched all but the best compact cameras. Lumia 930 and iPhone5 both have better quality than N9.
I know some people who travel around the world who own that earlier 41 megapixel Nokia 1808 PureView monster because its handy when doing inspections and documenting stuff and gives really good pictures. They could have bought any compact, SLR or phone combo they wanted but it hit the spot.
Lumia 1020 will have better image and video quality than 1808 and with optical stabilization it will choice for many professions where you need camera all the time, like Jorunalists without acameraman. I'm not just sure that people in general care about image quality so much that it will be a hit. On the other hand YouTube with all those stupid videos will be incredible marketing channel.

Yes. It's the oversampling with the 1/1.2” size of the sensor that makes image quality in low light really good.
Other feature is the ability to have usable digital zoom in camera without immediately having low resolution shitty image quality.

There is no reason to compare image quality to DSLR unless you can keep DSLR in your pocket. If you want to compare against Nikon, compare against compact cameras.
This Nokia will big 1/1.2” sensor and it really removes any reason to have compact camera.
