It also has Bluetooth 2.1, FM Radio, MicroSD slot, GPS, HSPDA, DivX support, TouchQiz interface and lastly the all important 8 Mega Pixel Cam. As it's a slider from Samsung, build quality will be decent and the slider will also be good as Samsung generally makes great slider phones.

The only things missing in this slider are the Wi-Fi connection and a Xenon Flash, which can be beneficial in Night Shooting. The phone just features a LED Flash. Looking at it from the back, the camera reminds of the Samsung G600 and the Samsung u900 Soul which had a similar setup. It should be officially announced in 2009 (only 2 days are left in 2008 ) and available by March 2009. We will be surely waiting.

Samsung M8800 Pixon Review by Smape

Smape has reviewed the Samsung M8800 Pixon in an extensive review with lots of pics.

The outward appearance of M8800 is very reminiscent of a common miniature-sized handheld Samsung camera, resemblance found even in the materials. Metal finds an active use, just like in i8510. The camera lens sticks out above the surface but slightly, a second protruding piece added a bit lower to balance the handset and make it easier to hold. The quality of assembly and materials is pleasingly high. Just like any other touchscreen handset, M8800 is exposed to unwanted fingerprints and soiling (to a tolerable extent). The screen diagonal, weight and size are all balanced, you don’t feel any discomfort holding the device in the hand. A thickness of 14.5 isn’t amazing, yet very pleasing for a 8 Mp cameraphone. The KC910 model is thinner, but is more exposed to soiling, and doesn’t have an equally good design.

Samsung Pixon M8800 Review by Mobile Review

Mobile Review has posted a detailed review of the Samsung Pixon M8800.

Much like the INNOV8, the M8800 is an imaging-centric phone, and this time around, to put a special emphasis on its focus, Samsung have come up with a new prefix for this type of phones - PIXON. Nevertheless, the first 8 Mpix cameraphone in their range, the i8510 INNOV8 won’t have its name changed, but all phones to come will feature the “PIXON” part in their names. Curiously, though, non imaging-savvy handsets (even with 8 Mpix cameras) won’t have this prefix either.

HTC Touch HD launched, has 5 Mega Pixel Camera without flash

HTC today launched the HTC Touch HD. The Touch HD had also been leaked earlier and we all were waiting for it to be announced. The Touch HD features a large 3.8 inch Touch Screen sporting a WVGA resolution. It also is the first HTC Phone to have a 3.5 mm headphone jack & a 5 Mega Pixel Camera. Other features include Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G, HSDPA, Quadband GSM, Micro SD card slot, Bluetooth 2.0, 288 MB RAM & a strong 1350 mAh battery. The only downer is the lack of flash in the camera. There is no word on availability or pricing at this time.

The Touch HD long with the Blackberry Thunder/Storm & Samsung i900 Omnia, is a genuine iPhone rival with a better screen resolution & a better camera. However the lack of a flash has dealt a blow to Touch HD to be seriously considered a Camera Phone. Let's hope the other features like the Sound Quality are properly executed & it can give the 3G iPhone a run for it's money.


Detailed Specs of HTC Touch HD :

• 5 Mega Pixel Auto Focus Camera, no flash
• 3.8 inch WVGA Screen with 480 x 800 resolution
• Qualcomm MSM 7201A™ 528 Mhz CPU
• 288 MB RAM & 512 MB ROM
• 3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi & GPS
• Quad Band GSM
• Accelerometer sensor
• Bluetooth 2.0
• 3.5 mm headphone jack
