Detailed Review of the Koi
Camera -
The Koi contains a 1.2 mega-pixel camera. The features include 6 resolutions and 3 quality settings. There are 9 Frames that can be used when taking photos. The phone also contains a flash, which will work only when your subject is within 12 inches of the lens and even then your photo will be dark and grainy.

So how does one get the benefit of the entire 1.2 megapixel sensor, if pictures are only 400x600? the resolution should be around 1200x1000 and file size a few hundred kilobytes. This is important, I would think.
Any ideas?
PS: USCC stores here said the KOI will be coming before christmas, no idea on time or pricing, or promotions that will apply to it.

Well...having a 1.2 megapixel camera phone is more of a toy than anything else. I tell all of my customers if they want good pictures, buy a digital camera. A camera phone is a novelty. The max resolution of the Koi is 1280 x 160 but just doesn't look that good on a computer screen.
As to USCC release, the Koi has been slated for pre-Christmas launch however no date has been passed down. I think our marketing team requested a delay to get new advertising in place.

I think using the digital zoom is where the extra capability of the sensor comes in.

I keep geting told by local stores here that it's being released at the same time as the v710 in less than a week.
