Is the camera module a defect one on my 808 Pureview?

Hi everyone,

I have my 808 Pureview for 2 weeks I find all photos I took is blurred and smeared in the area about 1/5 of width on the right (Area B), compared to the left 4/5 side of the photos (Area A) which is cleared and crisp.

* Even for SAME DISTANCE objects & STILL shots, Area B becomes blurred, noisy and smeary compared to Area A.
* There is NO fingerprint or grease or dust on the outer surface of lens glass

Area A (4/5) Area B (1/5 on the right)

blurry on the right of the 8km/h sign

I think my camera module a defect one. It really troubles me I had my new phone taken to Nokia repair centre, they said they took it apart and assembled it back, still it did not solve the problem.

Much appreciate your views my 808 camera a defect one.

Can you try say a photo of a page from a book (which fills the entire screen). Using different focus modes (closeup, hyperfocal). That would be easier for other users to reproduce too
