Nokia Shows Off Megapixel Camera Phone

Posted by simoniker on from the blog-me-up-scotty dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "According to PC World, the Nokia 7610 has been announced at Cebit in Germany - it boasts a megapixel camera (1152 x 864 pixels), 65,000 color screen, and 4x zoom, along with an MP3 music player and smart phone features that allow users to manage and edit digital images. It can also create short films of up to 10 minutes and with the Movie Director application users can add special effects and music to the video clips." Other readers point out a picture of the phone, which comes with the LifeBlog software "to help people organise the information they capture about their lives on handsets."

      I have a Nokia 6600, a camera-phone. And (this may come as a shock to you) using it to call people is no shape or form more difficult than using my previous phone (Nokia 6310i which doesn't have a camera).

    I always thought that "1 Megapixel" is just "one very big pixel". My camera has three very big pixels (well, 3.3 in fact.). I hope that's one for each primary colour... ;-) 1 Megapixel cannot convey colour information, not for each primary colour anyway.

    Phones are adding things. Watches are getting bigger. Let Phone(t) be a function defining a Phone at type t, likewise for Watch(t).

    Phone(t) = Watch(t) | t->infinity

    You really shouldn't confuse your Masses with your Weights, not when you're putting other people down..

    Besides,
    Masses have Densities, What do megapixels have to compare with that?

    It's true... camera phones are really useful for looking up the noughties.

    Looks down at my D505i that I bought in Japan almost a year ago for $120 and sighs. It's now nothing better than a travel alarm with cool games.

    (D505i: 1.3MP digital camera(SVGA images), modified 16MB sony memory stick slot for easy storage and transfer of data, 8x digital zoom, 256,000 TFT display, full blown on phone email support [not this gay SMS text messsaging crap], Java powered with an open spec API so I could write my own stuff, all the features of my old Palm pilot, and kick @$$ games by Sqare Soft [The guys who write the Final Fantasy series])

    Yeah, Nokia really is breaking new ground here...and at a bargain price of $600. Why have we let America get so far behind? And why do we put up with this inferior crap?

    just my venting folks....be back in Japan in less than a year.

    Douglas Adams was wrong. There's is no Shoe Event Horizon, instead make way for the Phone Event Horizon.

    I mean, it fits the pattern. Every second store on the high street is a phone store. Phones are made increasingly more difficult to use, and are replaced more and more frequently until eventually it becomes uneconomic to open anything other than a phone shop.

    I warned you. Don't say I didn't warn you when the Phone Warriors are sent in. Relax and enjoy your phones. They are very stylish and fashionable...

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Why have we let America get so far behind?

    It's only a few time zones. What's the big deal?

    You do realize Nokia is based in Finland, right?
