Keep an eye out for the Samsung i8510. Nice phone with 8Mp camera/GPS/8Gb blah blah. If you have used Symbian and Series 60 then this will be second nature to you.

Be interesting to see the results with the 8mp camera. I have the 5mp samsung camera and the quality is pants. They should invest in better glass than the pixels.

Sensor is more important than the glass.

I'll drop some samples up when the weather improves.

Mines always looked like it has been taken through dirty glass, even when it was new and after being cleaned. Thought the glass would have been responsible. Look forward to your samples.

Well a dirty lens is not gonna make a good picture, but in terms of picture quality the sensor is more important in camera phones. At the moment sensors are small (due to everyone wanting small phones, and hence poorer quality. If sensors could be made bigger and still fit into a phone then quality would improve.

On a seperate note, very very few camera phones actually use glass at all

The quality Lens Optics of Zeiss Ikon are used on some Nokia Phones.
The N95 8GB 5MP Phone for example.

The actual lens/optics are NOT Zeiss. They provide a quality standard that Nokia adhere to, but they do not provide any physical parts.

Here are a couple of quick samples from this morning.

BTW: Best feature of this phone for me was the 120fps video recording .. great to looking at your golf swing .... very sad I know

It now has to state that the Functions shown on adverts do not work without certain Microsoft Programs (not supplied)
also they (iPhone) cannot use "Flash" or "Java" as shown in the old advertisements, and no updates are available or planned for Internet use on current model.

The last 249MB Firmware fix, was a fix!
it now permanently shows a 3G signal when none available due to its weak capture capabilities,
this was implemented because of the high number of complaints of signal dropping out.

Further comments below:

Hmmmmm a not very old model of phone and they get all this negative publicity.

Yet Nokia got NO such publicity when they had similar problems with the N95 when it was released.

Actually I know people in the know and at adobe they are working on flash for iPhone, and Java? yes that works right now... Having used an iPhone 3g on test I love it and will be buying one soon enough. People are quick to sue/slander Apple because they are Apple. Oh yes and people should guess that Microsoft exchange features will ONLY work with exchange email systems... Are people that stupid?

Don't know why?
I like Apple Computer and Products normally
Had a problem with this phone though, and they had the works one straight back!
