With a number of exciting new phones on the horizon, I take a look at a select few that are set to make a mark on the mobile world!

Coming Soon Podcast

With mobile phone giants Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Nokia and LG battling it out to produce the best camera phones on the ever growing market. Samsung has announced the W880 AMOLED 12M that not only works like a professional camera, it looks like one too. This gem from Samsung is the world’s first phone to feature both a 12 megapixel camera and 3x optical zoom. The phone also boasts an impressive 3.3inch AMOLED WVGA touchscreen making viewing images a dream. With a dedicated camera power key, Mode dial and a real zoom lever it looks and feels more like a digital camera than a mobile phone, showing the evolution of mobile phones.

Samsung are allegedly set to change the name of the W880 to the Samsung M8920 but this has yet to be confirmed. For exceptional images the W880 is packed full of technological camera features including a Touch Auto-Focus feature that allows users to select a focus point with their finger where the lens will focus on and the Smart Auto feature changes its shooting mode based on lighting, background and the object it is shooting to capture beautiful images. There’s a Xenon flash, face recognition and shake reduction built in as well as 3x optical zoom to enhance the images further. There is also an excellent video recorder on board and the phone supports a microSD card to expand its memory up to 32GB.

If you can’t wait until next year for this super power camera phone Mobilesplease has a number of deals for the M8910 Pixon from Samsung and Sony Ericssons Satio.

Today I talk about some excited camera phones that threaten to take digital cameras off the market.
