Cynopsis Digital reported today that Samsung Mobile will release the first 8-megapixel camera phone. The phone will cost around 300 dollars and will be exclusive to T-Mobile. The phone works with a touch screen system and the camera has a 16x digital zoom. Also the phone has a interface that makes easy to publish your photos on sites like Flickr.
usnews.com (http://www.usnews.com/blogs/daves-download/2009/02/06/samsung-memoir-phone-packs-8-megapixel-camera.html) also reported about the phone. They say that the camera has smile detector and face recognition features as well as 5 shooting modes and a bright Xenon Flash.
The website Engadget (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/30/shadow-ii-curve-8900-samsung-memoir-due-in-coming-weeks-on-t-m/) says that the phone will be released on February 18.
I think this is a very cool thing. I would love to have a good camera on my phone and it would be great to be able to constantly and easily upload fotos to the internet because in that way you can keep your camera memory card with a lot of free space. Also the phone looks very slim which is also a good thing. One thing to improve the 16x digital zoom because digital zoom is never too good. To make this camera a better camera it needs optical zoom.
We will only have to wait to hear from users once the phone is released.

Pretty cool. Not cool enough to make me give up my iPhone, but pretty cool. Someone perfecting the technological convergence of cell phone, mp3 player and digital camera is long overdue. If someone adds optical zoom, I think we're pretty much there. The most exciting aspect of this to me is the ability to grab great images spontaneously without planning ahead to bring your camera.
