N9-09 Pureview. Since it has to be big because of the Pureview sensor, make it 720p with a screen diagonal equal to the glass of the current N9. Since the body has to be thicker, leave the two cameras on the top, and use the bottom part for all the rest, this should allow pushing the back of the pureview module up to the back of the screen.
Add dual-core Cortex A15 and a big battery. And Harmattan PR2.0 with Qt5.

Longtime Nokia fan, I now have E7; good hardware, poor software up to now; Bells added, not yet used; camera disappointing. My camera is Leica D-lux-4; it would be perfect if it had WiFi; if 808 can come close I will buy it, assuming the rest of it is as good as the other hi end smartfones. The best camera is the one you have with you; if 808 is ALSO the bast available for its purpose, it (or its equivalent) should be a winner (for at least 6 months!)

Every time as Nokia comes with a new model, It is better!
I have a Nokia N8-00 and I think it has been a perfect choice, that time.
I keep on using it, no problem.
But before I decide to buy the new Nokia 808 Pure View, I want to know the price.
An other point is, can I buy it in Thailand?
However, I like the new one very much and maybe I don't care about the price.

I've been waiting years for Nokia to start the fight back and I think this is it, or at least when PureView migrates to a supported OS, and not that I don't think Belle isn't great.
Now, I've never been a real fan of phones with cameras as they've generally been poor quality and the UX awkward. However this changes things and makes the 'camera phone', as opposed to a 'phone with a camera' a whole lot more attractive and truly integrates two things you use a lot.
I'm not going to go on about the camera as it is obviously far superior to most but it certainly ticks all the boxes as far I can see for quality vs usefulness vs mobility vs speed vs usability.
IMO:
Most phones just have cameras and we make do with the quality. However, when (and I hope soon) all smartphones and OS's are pretty much on par and hardware is essentially the same, the likes of Nokia with PureView and it's bespoke software and hardware additions will make choosing one a little easier. They seem to have nailed it with great pics, video and the ease of sharing it. I'm no professional so when the software can tell me what's best then I'll use it. There are so many times when I try to figure out how to compromise between file size and picture quality only to find it's more of a one or the other rather than a trade-off.
*The size/thickness of the phone doesn't matter too much as battery life and screen size are high priority features + the camera now. That's not to say it shouldn't be cool as well as awesome and practical though.
*The design and shape. I dunno about you but holding a rectangular shiny box in your hand is difficult and even more so trying to txt with one hand and two kids hanging off your back. I know this scenario is not applicable to most but there are grades in between this and the ideal. So the fact the phone is an irregular shape may have an upside. Why are phone so rectangular anyway? When I worked at Nokia we tried a few ideas and many didn't work, but they were the days when marketing ruled the roost and had more power than they deserved and this was when Nokia were missing the boat on every design trend imaginable - touch, flip, flat, thin, shiny, black, an OS as opposed to a platform ...!!!
*With this I can do away with my point and shoot and HD cam as this actually looks more superior. I may even hold off getting a dSLR until I see what it is really capable of. Lugging around a high end 12mp digital cam and HD camcorder does not fare well at the theme park or down the beach with the kids. This COULD be a solution to the woes of my wife telling me I've missed another photo opportunity cos I could't get the camera out quick enough despite leaving the kitchen sink at home this time.
*The OS??? more flavours please, Belle, Maemo, WP8.....
