Well, well... Mobile World Congress is definitely getting off to a good start! I'm looking forward to reading through pages of new phone goodness after I get home from school every day. As for the Idou, I think it's really going to be a successful feature phone if it comes here to the US in a reasonable amount of time... Just a couple minutes ago I was thinking of revolutionary the Memoir's 8 megapixel cam was going to be in a phone. But this phone's 12.1 mp cam mops the floor with Samsung right now (and just about every point-and-shoot on the market right now (my phone has a 1.3mp my point and shoot has a 7mp)). I'm really excited to see mobile phones catching up with digital point-and-shoot cameras....I think it's about time to consolidate those markets. I just hope that it comes with some good Cybershot cam functionality built-in, since Sony's always had really nice cams with awesome functionality. Another thing that really excites me about this one is that it's going to be marketed as a Walkman phone, rather than a Cybershot phone.... so rather than the entire focus being centered around that first-in-class cam, it will also have a killer mp3 player inside. Hoping to see this come to AT&T around beginning-mid summer! I've always really rooted for Sony Ericsson to do well. Good for them!
Gotta love it. Dupe consumers thinking that 12 MP is soooo much better than 4 or 8. All this will do for most people is slow down uploads of crappy arms length self portraits which will be ultra-compressed in any case for their Facebook sites. It's the equivalent of a penis enlarger. If you want a 12+ MP camera, get an SLR.
My old k800i took better photos (night especially!) than my current n95 8gb.
it wasn't just the xenon flash, i could turn it off and take really good photos in low light (with the k800i) the n95s camera is horrible in low light and its flash is nothing special compared to the k800i :)
I was thinking of getting the c905 but now i would an Idou!
