My guess is that Nokia used Symbian on this device because Symbian at this time has better software for photo apps (than Windows Phone).Personally I think this is a better approach to solving the zoom problem on camera phones.
Ctein had an interesting article on this..
Not sure the camera is enough to save Nokia. Especially if it only runs on Symbian. Most people value other features more than the camera. Current cameras are pretty good and are good enough for most.
I thought it was a Sony sensor.This of course put the sensor size choices for the Pentax Q and Nikon 1 in a new perspective. None of these guys live in a bubble, and the development must have been going on for a while. In other words: The people at Nikon and Pentax most probably knew very well that this and possibly other new concepts were in the pipeline.
The Nokia sensor is actually very close in size to the one in Nikon 1. I would be surprised if we don't see f/0.7 standard lenses for these small formats from the likes of Voigtlander and SLR Magic within 2-3 years. Although that will still not make them medium format cameras, it will be very interesting to see the images that can be created with such a combination.
I'm thinking about the future perspective of these formats.I thought it was a Sony sensor.
