For me, give me Google Maps, the ability to make phone calls, and a REAL digital camera built into one device.

The N73 (my current phone) is amazing for a camera phone, but it still doesn't compare to the speed and quality provided from a real digital camera. I'm hoping the N82, with it's Xenon flash, provides a much better experience, but I seriously doubt that it's speed of turning on and snapping a photo will be as quick as the stand alones out there.

Of course I seriously doubt the ability of this particular camera phone to provide that experience, but even if it does not, perhaps it will pave the way for a real camera with a real flash and the speed you would expect from one... with GPS and 3G for geo-tagging and remote uploading. Oh yeah, and with the ability to make a phone call.]]>May 26th 2008 4:08AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/26/k-touchs-8-megapixel-c280-cameraphone-flaunts-canon-image-proce/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/26/k-touchs-8-megapixel-c280-cameraphone-flaunts-canon-image-proce/I expect such a device to be chunky. THIS IS OK !!
A Samsung i8510 (or n96) with optical zoom or a g810 with Divx/3D support is the closest things to this I've seen so far.]]>Jul 21st 2008 2:23AM
