We first found out about the Nokia 808 PureView, a smartphone with a 41MP camera, which can’t be compared to anything seen on a phone up until now, at its debut in the beginning of this year. Back than the company announced, that its sales would begin this May and now they have confirmed this information. At first the device is going to be available in Russia and India – hardly a surprise, considering the popularity, which Symbian has on these markets and, of course, their sheer size.

We remind you that the Nokia 808 is the first ever smartphone to use Nokia’s new PureView technology, which won the award for innovation of the photography organisation TIPA. It relies on a huge sensor, special Carl Zeiss optics and complex algorithms and the result is frankly stunning. For instance, the phone is able to shoot Full HD video (despite the single-core processor) with 4x zoom without losing any of the quality – this is achieved with the usage of all of the available megapixels.

The Canadians, though, are betting everything on just one card – the new BlackBerry OS 10, which is going to debut later this year along with a new series of devices, running on it. At the BlackBerry World event in Orlando RIM officially revealed the platform and for the first time shared some details about it. The OS itself is based on QNX – the same software can be found in the PlayBook, but is, of course, optimized for smartphones. The company’s tablet is also going to receive an update to the platform later this year.

One of the key features, on which RIM focused at the event, were the gestures, which allow the user to quickly access documents, apps and events notifications. Of course, being so popular with their near-perfect QWERTY devices, the Canadians have also had to work on making a remarkable onscreen keyboard. The one, featured in BlackBerry OS 10, is going to rely on enhanced algorithms for touchscreen typing and is even going to learn the user’s habits with time. The keyboard also includes a special word predicting technology and allows for quick access to symbols through gestures.
