The Samsung Pixon M8800 is a true epiphany of 8 mega pixel camera bliss, and can only signal a very short swift life span for their own Samsung Innov8. The pre-market name for the Samsung Pixon M8800 was the Samsung Bresson, rumoured to be associated with Henri Cartier-Bresson, a French photographer considered the father of modern photojournalism. Which given the handsets purpose and appeal, is very fitting. What do we know about the Samsung M8800 though, apart from I have one and won't be giving it back, ever? Personally I'm a big fan of camera phones, especially given the convenience factor, but I often take a blurred photo when friends move any faster than a sloff. So imagine my huge pleasure when presented with an 8-mega-pixel camera phone with every camera function under the sun, whilst being more compact then a Nokia N96. To prove this point, the Samsung Pixon is 15.5mm thick, whilst a Nokia N96 is 18mm, a Sony C905 18.5mm, and finally a Samsung Innov8 is 17.2mm. The touch screen accelerator interface is effortless and responsive, which is a far cry from many handsets on the market. Whilst the 3.2 inch 16 million pixel colour display shows excellent photos, it also supports and runs full HD TV viewing. So regardless of your entertainment demands, the Samsung Pixon M8800 is capable of occupying any preferences with the highest of competences. Films, pictures, games, and music are masterly delivered through a collection of new hardware and software advancements to the Samsung range. Full story
