Samsung's SPH-W6050 is the perfect excuse to visit Korea

There's no need in reiterating, but South Korea has some drool-worthy handsets. Take the minty fresh Samsung SPH-W6050 for instance, with its magnificent 5-megapixel camera (with AutoFocus), OMNIA front design and 3-inch LCD with WVGA (800 x 480) resolution -- isn't that something worth grabbing a napkin over? Furthermore, it boasts a mobile TV tuner (DMB), haptic user interface and a microSD card slot. If only trips to Seoul were cheap and ?800,000 ($575) was a drop in the bucket...

What in the heck is with the RAZR lip on the back of the phone?? Granted, it could be to facilitate better ergonomics for the camera, but that just looks weird for a phone.

It makes the phone look like Samsung's range of NV-series cameras. And you are right, this is principally for ergonomics.

I hate to disagree, but the women are a much better reason than any cell phones to visit Korea.
