I have the Nokia 808 and it has saved me carrying a camera, because
its camera (40MP, downsampling to 8 or 12MP) totally outclasses any
camera you can stick in your pocket, and I mean including the £400
ones. In fact, in favourable daylight conditions, still subjects, it
is almost as good as a DSLR. To me, a keen photographer, that has real
serious value, in reducing how much junk one has to carry.

Sorry but I find that hard to believe. AFAIK it's just not possible
to fit a good lens in a phone-sized object.

I've not tried the Nokia 808 but would it really be better than a
small system camera (which would also fit into a pocket)?

It could well be better than most - see the review at:

They don't like the phone though!
