Monster-megapixel-mashup - the invasion of the 8 megapixel mobile phones
Over the past few weeks, mobile phones have started coming out that have redefined the world of the camera phone, and their prime achievement has been to make 5 megapixel mobile phones, something we all raved about a year ago, look rubbish in comparison.
You may well have guessed that I’m talking about mobile phones with 8 megapixel cameras.
Well, since all of the ones that’ve been announced have either gone on sale, or will do soon (and since regular blog reader Diana contacted me, since she really can’t decide which one she wants), I reckon it’s about time I did a rundown of the 8 megapixel mobile phones you can get your hands on so far.
LG KC780 - slim, slidy 8MP mobile phone goes official
Well, we’ve had the revelation that is the LG KC910 Renoir, but that’s not the end of the story…

It’s called the LG KC780, but what can we expect from this sliding little beauty?
Samsung M8800 Bresson - ultra-secret 8MP touchscreen mobile phone

It seems that very soon, Samsung are going to be launching a second 8 megapixel camera phone, to go with the already-released Samsung i8510 INNOV8. Details are very, very thin on the ground, but we do know its name.
It’s going to be called the Samsung M8800 Bresson. And there’s no point Googling it, since every story links back to Phones4U. So, I’m guessing ‘exclusive’…
