LG's KC910 takes over where Viewty left off, packs 8MP camera

Nah, it ain't the Prada II or anything, but who's to argue with an 8-megapixel camera? You heard right -- LG's followup to the Viewty is the KC910, a touchscreen-based handset that checks in at 14-millimeters thick and supports quad-band GSM / 7.2Mbps HSDPA. Furthermore, you'll find Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, a 3-inch 400 x 240 resolution display, a microSD expansion slot, Xenon flash (alongside a Schneider-Kreuznach lens), video recording, TV output, a multimedia player (with DivX and XviD support, we're told) and built-in GPS. This feature-packed device is bruited to be on track for an October launch, though we've no idea how costly it'll be (nor what regions it will invade).

Oh I will most certainly get one of these. If it is in any way available in New Zealand...
Looks awesome.. and feature wise better than iPhone.. only thing is LG does not have an App Store..

Too bad there's no chance of it having North American 3G

Is "bruited" really a word?

Oh please Engadget, you're cleverer than this... who cares so much about megapixels!! read all about it (and many other places) http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/08/technology/08pogue.html?ref=technology. I'd whish the manufacturers would keep it down at about 2 or 3 megapixels with a better sensor. Who's with me???

uhm....not me. Im waiting for an 12MP Nseries with nightvision, Flash and 32 Gig internal memory

........ahh the dream

You're almost correct. The sensor and lens plays a HUGE role on how the picture looks. The LG Dare has a great lens, and the picture quality is great in return. With that camera being a 3.2mp and this one (using the same lens) being an 8mp camera, the picture quality should be amazing! I, for one, and super psyched for this one!

i'll settle for 5 and an awesome sensor. the xeon flash is a big help though. you never know until you try it.
