Look what we got here – something that’s finally different from the "me too" iPhone look-alike phone. Samsung today announced SCH-W880 phone camera in Korea. The device sports some very impressive bells and whistles:

  • Display: 3.3” WVGA AMOLED
  • Video: HD Level (1280 x 720) 30fps
  • Terrestrial DMB (Mobile TV)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth® 2.0, USB 2.0 HS (micro USB)
  • Format support: Video – MPEG4, H.263, H.264, DivX, XviD; Audio – MP3, AAC, AAC+, AAC+e, WMA
  • Camera: 12MP with 3X Optical Zoom, 2X Digital Zoom, Image stabilization, Xenon + Power Led Flash, Touch AF Tracking, Smart Auto, Beauty Shot, Macro Shot
  • Internal memory: 4GB
  • External memory: Micro SD (up to 32GB)
  • Battery: 1,100 mAh
  • Size: 115.8 x 56.9 x 16.3 mm

Wow, all of this packed into a very attractive package. This one looks like it will be very compelling for that photobug in some of us, who wish we have our camera with us all the time but don’t want to lug around two devices.

What we don’t like about this deice though:

  • Still uses proprietary OS. Throw in Android in there, will you?
  • No WiFi
  • No GPS for geo-tagging

Hopefully, when Sammy decides to bring this to North America, they will at least add WiFi and GPS.
