We haven't featured an 808-shot music video for a while, but this one's worth a look, of Anneke van Giersbergen and band, live in Moscow. Skip the first minute of build up and then enjoy, especially when, at about the 3 minute mark, the drums and bass really, really kick in - and the Nokia 808 recording this, from the front row at the gig, close to the speakers, doesn't even flinch. Amazing. I only wish the guy filming it had been a little steadier - but then he was down in the 'mosh pit', so....!

From the description:

It'll be interesting to see if all future Nokia smartphones get the Rich Recording technology - the Lumia 820 and 920 certainly seem to have it, over on the Windows Phone 8 platform.

The 808 remains the only Symbian device to have 'Rich Recording', though as a veteran of numerous Nokia N8 and N86 gig recordings, I can say that these older devices aren't far off - the have the microphone technology, but not the HAAC electronics and software.
