    Interesting move by nokia on releasing budget first, expecting the 41 megapixel version in coming months.

    Contract on my S3 is up soon, would love to be able to go back to Nokia if they had Android running on a premium phone.

    Got a SIM-free S3 myself, but if Nokia can do a high end version of the Normandy then I might be interested. Need replaceable battery and a uSD slot, and minimal amount of tweaks to the default Android UI.

    ... with that 41Mpix camera of course!

    I could live with a non-replaceable battery as long as it's Motorola Moto-G caliber (about 2 days runtime), but the general trend of not having microSD slots (combined with laughable internal memory), going for slow quadcores instead of fast dualcores, having giant 5" screens and crappy cameras (8+mpixel camera that shoots worse photos than my 7 year old <3mp Sony Ericsson dumbphone) is what annoys me the most.

    It seems like the (for me) perfect smartphone just doesn't exist. There are phones that come rather close (like most recently the Moto-G), but they're butchered in functionality or I'd have to make a ridiculous amount of compromises.
    In case of the Moto-G, it's butchered "thanks" to Google having bought out Motorola and shoving their "we know better" attitude down their throat.
    No Dual-SIM version for Europe, laughable internal memory (8GB = 4.xGB, 16GB = 11.xGB) and no microSD slot.. "Go save all your stuff in the/our cloud! We don't care about your expensive data plans with ridiculous traffic limits!"

    If Nokia were to fill that niche market of a relatively "high end" "smallish smartphone that doesn't cost an arm and a leg", I'd be all ears, even if it doesn't run pure Android. If it has Dual-SIM functionality, even more so..
