Nokia's patent application shows 8 megapixel N-series slider?

Here's an odd one for you, a Nokia patent application just revealed those images above. The odd part is not so much the slider mechanism they are attempting to patent. Rather, it's the use of those dumbed-down product images instead of the purposely vague schematic usually submitted to the USPTO. And if we're not mistaken, that looks like "8 megapixel" stamped just below the lens. New N-Series in the oven, Nokia?

that definately says 6...

I'm gonna have to say thats a "6 Megapixel"

Just to toss my two cents in, Yes. It would also appear to me that it says '6.0' :(

It's clearly "& Megapixel." Are you guys blind?

6... 8... go get a real camera instead. most cameras look better than this anyway.
