why would you pay that much? trust me the price will drop like a rock this thing is not gonna sell. You can get a 3 mp camera for 90 bucks these days.

you should have waited. just like the dipshits that ran out and bought razrs at launch the price is less than half of what it was.

the samsung 970, the phone this one is replacing and only has a 2.0 mp is STILL $200 after rebate and its been out for more than 6 months. There is no reason to think this price is going to drop quickly. The razr dropped cause after the initial wave of high end users bought them they wanted the masses to get it. This on is for the high end user who have $400 to drop on a phone. Until a 3.2 mp phone is common place I can't see this one going south of $300 anytime soon, IMO

Man, vzwtemp, you say things so nicely. If you want to be heard I suggest you not call people "dip****s."

Besides, maybe people will be able to combine a camera, mp3 player and phone all in one. Wouldn't that be great? Granted, it's a lot of money, but the appeal is obvious. Jury is out as to whether or not it will work together well, but maybe...

Easy does it, vzwtemp.

phones are my only vex .. if you knew the phones I had youd laugh

but I work hard for my money just like everyone else does .. my owned my own house at 19 .. busted my @$$ workin patrol for years till I transfered to this unit

I had always had my eye on the 2mp samsung always waited for the price to drop and it never did .. I'm not waiting this time .. so I save 100 .. its not chump change but I believe .. you want something you pay for it .. besides this will go nice with my V3 headset I just bought

The whole excitement is that it's one less thing to carry around, high quality usable camera, I have a 3.2MP CamPhone, and I've made 8x10 prints from it, so yes it's usable, and it's one less thing to carry around, just like the built-in mp3 player in the phone, no more carrying around a CD player, I gave that up when I got my mp3 playing mobile phone.

So yes, a standalone 3.2mp camera is cheaper, but it's all about consolidation, and eventually, we'll all be able to leave our debit cards at home, because the mobile phone will play the role also.
Consilidation! ! ! ! ! ! !

cuz I gotta deal face to face with the people that run out and buy an overpriced phone and expect it to be more than what it turns out to be.

But what good is it being grumpy?

Those people you "gotta deal face to face with" had high expectations, which then take a drubbing. (Happens a lot in life.) What good does it do when you put on the grump and further their beating? Do they need to have more confirmation that they made a mistake, or that, in your case, they're "dip****s"?

Come on. Help people.
