Samsung Producing 5 Megapixel Camera Phone

Shippy writes "Straight from Yahoo News on the other side of the pond comes a story about Samsung's latest creation: a five-megapixel camera phone. This is pretty cool considering it's a pretty big jump from the camera phones that are currently available (many max out around 1.5 megapixels). It's expected to be available by the end of the year, but only in South Korea. I doubt it'll take long for a domestic carrier to pick up on this hot new toy." Other readers submitted a closeup picture and the company press release.

    Nikon has a great SLR phone camera coming out..

    you just look a little silly holding a SLR with a 300mm lens up to your head when answering it.
