#2Wow Nokia's stepping their game up.

#3I think we are all pretty convinced by now that the Lumia has the best camera. Too bad it's also a phone.

#4Still cannot believe they didn't foresee the PR shitstorm they would create by faking the original pictures. Especially since the actual camera is pretty damn decent.

That's the thing. If the camera is anything near what they were claiming, they didn't need to fake the pictures. The reason you fake pictures (or setup unrealistic test conditions) is to make your product look better than it actually is.
But the decided to, reportedly because the software wasn't ready. Not only was the camera actually that good, but they faked it to make a paper launch, where they didn't even announce a release date.

#6So this thing ships with Symbian? Didn't Nokia agree to only ship Windows Phones or something?

#7The difference is a lot smaller when Galaxy S3 and One X use "night mode", so they are both capable of doing much better in the night (sorry for the weird link - it's from Google).

The question is why don't they do that automatically like the Lumia 920? Perhaps to save energy?

nope, all Lumias are Windows, and this is win8. The first pureview phone/camera with a huge sensor was with Symbian.

#10"The 920 took the cake, without question, but the iPhone didn't fare too poorly itself, snatching up nearly as much light as the Nokia device"
How can anybody take this article seriously? The difference between the Lumia and the IPhone 5 is night and day! Lumia looks very clear and bright, while the IPhone picture looks like a screenshot from Night of The Comet.
