The camera is okay, I'll give it that. But it's Samsung which means the phone, overall, will suck. The only device I can ever remember liking was the Samsung p777. I will give it credit, there given the time it was released, it was an amazing phone. This phone is a one trick pony. And I agree, it's not necessarily a bad thing for a phone to be a one trick pony, but, when comparing to a phone like the k850i (which is a completely valid comparison, they're both "dumb phones"), as the Hands-on said, it comes up short. Even if the camera of the k850i is as good (though I'm fairly certain it's better), it's other features puts it far beyond the g800.
Despite that I hate you, Samsung, I must say you make a pretty phone.
“Microsoft's not promising the world with Windows Mobile 6.5, nor are they delivering it -- it's very much a stopgap, complete with duct tape, bubble gum, and Bondo.”
