Top 10 ultimate photo apps for Nokia 808 PureView and Nokia N8
The Nokia 808 PureView has changed the way people use their camera phone for ever. Some could argue the Nokia N8 did just the same before it, as both are amazing examples of what can be achieved when innovation is high on the agenda. Here we look at the top 10 apps for your Nokia 808 PureView and Nokia N8.
The guys over at Nokia Conversations seem to be having a lot of fun with their Nokia 808 PureView of late and have put together what they think are the best 5 apps for the brand spanking new PureView camera that also happen to be fit for the older 12-Megapixel Nokia N8 too.
However, we’re always up for a challenge here at NokNok and thought we’d join in the fun with a few choice app choices of our own. First up, what the Convo boys had to say:

Cost: £1.50
The Camera Lover Pack is an app created by imaging specialists, Scalado, a company from which Nokia has recently acquired technology and developers for future products. It offers up five different lens features, from PhotoRama to Multimatic but you’ll have to check out the app to find out what they do!

The world seems to have gone Instagram mad of late, trying for that Kodak insta-camera moment.

Photorim takes adding effects to your photos to the extreme and justifiably prides itself on being simple to use.You view how your photo looks in each visual effect from the thumbnail gallery (and there are dozens to choose from) and you just select the one you like.

Thermal Camera is a good way of illustrating that just because the 808 PureView is a very serious camera phone, does not mean that it can’t be fun at the same time. It offers up two fun thermal ways of seeing the world.
OK, that’s where Nokia Conversations left it but we reckon we can add a further five apps for the Nokia 808 PureView and Nokia N8 to the mix giving you an even wider section to choose from:
