Is it a smartphone with a camera or a camera with a phone? - 41-megapixel camera?

Sensor is 1/1.2", so it's a 1.4µm pixel size similar to many mobile phones (but still smaller pixels than even the smallest P&S cameras with 1.6µm pixels). Having said that, the sensor itself is quite large, relatively speaking - it's bigger than the S100, bigger than Fuji's X-10, and getting close to the Nikon CX size.

Yeah but with the 'oversampling' technology the pixel size would be similar to 7µm so in the DSLR range. I don't know if this was mentioned in the whitepaper or a in one of the interviews I watched.

In any case the technology seems very interesting and Nokia said that this will become standard tech in all their phones so eventually there will be Windows Phones with the same tech.

Here are a couple of links that explain the technology better and also a zip of some full resolution samples. This looks very interesting in my opinion and maybe finally we truly have a camera phone that will stand up to the claim that we have heard a million times: "soon we will have phones that are better than compacts".

EDIT: The zooming in video modes seems awesome too (the end of last video): http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/27/n...play-41-megap/
