The basic point about the Nokia 808 is that one no longer needs to
carry a pocket camera, which I think is a great step forward, despite
its limitations (mostly iffy autofocus, so one needs to take time on a
shot). The bigger item is replaces rather well (again in reasonable
light conditions) is a £1500 1080P camcorder...

All well 'n good but does it work well as a mobile phone 'tho?...

Yes; as good as any other smartphone.

I even have VOIP on it.

I ask as it seems to me that users of more modern smart phones seem to
have more trouble maintaining a connection than what users of older
phones do...
