Tripod mounted
And the difference in detail resolution
Even comparing the Nokia's scaled down image

Slim design

The editors didn't like
The lack of apps for the Windows 8 system
Windows Phone 8 app ecosystem
No expandable memory
$299 is a little pricey

Windows Phone 8 lacks photography apps to take advantage of camera
No expandable memory and no Qi wireless charging support
No expandable storage
Macro support on the camera is practically non-existent
