You can see the noise reduction kicking in but still, that shot of the fence is pretty amazing for a phone camera. That's what image stabilization will do for you though - with moving subjects it's a bit different.

i seen some videos on youtube at demos etc.. and they shae the camera whilst recording, and on the plaback its kinda still.
or is that just on the prototype devices.. will the retial versions have some sort of update for this to happen?

Will hold off till Jan when Nokia announce new deals with other retailers.

That's down to the springs on the lens reducing the amount of shake, all versions should provide it.
Those suffering the reboot problem. Microsoft has now found the cause and are preparing an over the air update to be pushed out in December.

Now that's what you call support!
Given the size of the window in the back of the phone it can't really smooth out large movements. I found it very good at eliminating smaller movements.
Ultimately if smooth video is your aim then you need to use a plugin to reduce movement. These tend to crop the video slightly and "pan and scan" to reduce drastic movement.
You need to see the results of two phones in the same situation and compare the results since you can't look at the output of one device and conclude it isn't working.

I hope this also fixes the black screen locking up problems as well.
I have not had any of these problems. The only problem I have had is playing words with friends and the phone locking up and that's only happened once so far.
Compared to Apple & Android, MS has been very good at supporting the OS.
EDIT: That's just from past experiences, as I have come from a 3GS > SE ARC > SGS2 > L800 > L920

You obviously have no idea of the software development process in large companies.
It is likely to be a change to the kernel and or a driver that requires a full regression test cycle so as to ensure that nothing else breaks as a result.

I really like how so many features of WP8 are beautifully integrated into the system, I think they may just be a bit too subtle at times.
I discovered last night that tapping the left edge of the screen, next to a message, in email or messaging brings up check boxes that allow multiple selection/deletion.
I'm sure I've seen people moaning about having to individually delete mails/messages, so there is the solution. Subtle.
