Best phone commercially availible in this country. I hope this lights a fire under the supposedly better GSM.

Phonescoop was talking about the Sony Ericsson K790 at one time, which was going to have the Sony cybershot technology paired with a 3.2 megapixel camera as well. Do you know when this is coming out to entice the GSM'ers? Also, which has a better camera in your opinion? I have the Samsung a-940 and the 2 megapixel camera on it is extremely fuzzy and blurry... is this Verizon phone the same way?

I agree, I hope this lights a fire as to what there is DEMAND for out there! ! ! Screw this 2mp crap, 2mp's isn't bad, but 3.2mp's can print out an 8x10 image, heck yes.

Yeah, I really, really hope this does light a fire! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Beyond about 1.3 megapixels, more pixels simply doesn't matter given the standard camera phone's pinhole lens. Sure, you could print out a 3 megapixel camera phone image as an 8 x 10, but that just means you get a BIG fuzzy picture.

This phone's biggest improvement in camera phone technology is the fact that it sports an autofocus lens. A REAL lens. Something that might actually make that 3 megapixel camera useful.

Well doesn't more megapixels mean more clearity, also the more megapixels, the larger of an image you can print out. So why do you think it would be blury? I have a 3.2mp CamPhone, the Sharp V903, and I've even taken night pix with it, and they're fine pix.

The Sharp V903 has real optics, not a pinhole lens. It has 2x optical zoom, does it not?

But even so, more megapixels can only display what the lens transfers and a pinhole lens just isn't a good lens (generally speaking). Some will be better than others, but even a poor autofocus/optical zoom lens will usually produce better pictures than a really stellar pinhole lens.

Yeah, the V903 does have a 2x optical, awesome camera, it just would be nice to have carrier software, so that I can send/recieve pictures, and other things.

Yeah, an auto-focus lens can definitely make a huge difference.

I'm quite pleasantly surprised with the quality from a Nokia E70 I have at the moment. It's not auto-focus and the quality is not bad. It's two megapixels, and the extra megapixel does make a difference.

...yet the quality doesn't hold a candle to the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800, which is also two megapixel, but auto-focus. That takes amazing photos. I can print them up to 6x9 and they look great; you can't tell they came from a phone.

It all depends on the phone, though. The Samsung A800 was also two megapixel with auto-focus, but it took crappy photos, IMHO.

Those are quite good.

My quick tests with an A800 have turned out pretty terrible. It was in worse lighting conditions, (indoors,) but nothing too dark. They came out much worse than other phones in the same setting.
