Nokia’s announcement of the Symbian Belle-powered 808 PureView and its 41-megapixel camera took many (including me) by surprise this morning, and there were more than a few demo photos being thrown up during the presentation.

I got the chance to play with the 808 earlier this morning, but the inside of the Fira Montjuic’s Hall 5 didn’t provide the best vistas to photograph (I really wish I could’ve smuggled one outside, as Barcelona’s architecture is beautiful). Nokia has come through a handful of impressive sample shots though, and while your mileage may vary, they’re a stunning testament to the 808′s downright crazy camera.

Hit up Nokia’s blog for a zip file of the full, uncompressed versions.
