PluggedIn: Camera-Phones Double as Photo Albums That is exactly what my parents use their Samsung color screen phone. I sent them pictures of my son through e-mail, they crop and download the pictures to their phones. And show them to my grandmother, friends and family in parties and get togethers. It really don't need a camera phone, just one with color screen.

I think that this may qualify as the world's coolest handset....the SCH-V300 (1xEV-DO). run.to It is the first review on the top. The text is in Korean but there are a HUGE number of screen shots. Take a look at the quality of the video. user.chollian.net There are more video files that are well worth the time to check out. The audio and video is excellent. One compares the time it takes to download using the DO handset and a 1x handset.....a very nice illustration. It looks like DO is ready for primetime. EDIT....It doesnt look like my link to the video file works. I would really recommend going to look at these files for yourself. It gives a great idea of what is state of the art in Korea (they are so far ahead of the US it is ridiculous). Slacker
