It's one thing to show your competitors you can easily outperform them, but Samsung's most recent development in the area of cameraphones is so far ahead of the pack it's not even funny. Obviously created merely for the purpose of demonstrating the company's engineering excellence, which just about everybody has picked up on already, the 7 Megapixel SCH-V770 sure is impressive - but also looks pretty silly.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for technological achievement, but how many people do you think would actually walk around with a zoom lens bigger than the phone itself just in case some ridiculously expensive car, exotic looking bird (oh, get your mind out of the gutter) or Michael Jackson sans make-up pulls up beside you? Still, having sufficiently ridiculed this concept, I will admit that the SCH-V770 is an impressive kit - it's just that showing it off like this is, well, a bit over the top.
Featuring 3x optical zoom, auto focus, built-in flash and a user interface likely to be more suited for camera use rather than telephony, the SCH-V770's built-in lens has a focal length of 7.8 to 23.4 mm, offers manual focus control and has a shutter lag of 0.0005 second. A QVGA TFD display with 16M colours doubles as a viewfinder, and there's also 32 MB of internal memory - which, in the name of honesty, won't get you very far with a 7 MP camera.
Thankfully, the SCH-V770 also boasts memory expansion, but relies on the recently released MMCmicro standard - likely to be even less popular than RS-MMC, which is for the most part deployed only by Nokia. To be available only in Samsung's home market, Korea, no comments were made as to availability in Western markets.

Sony and many others have had 8 megapixel cameras out for a long time... and do you think you would really look cool if you were taking professional level pictures holding up a cell phone? Maybe I would be interested if the lens came off... but for EVERY reason I have to say no to this thing...

Well, I think the phone would be great. I am not sure about the price, it will probably retail over $700

You can get a top of the line camera (The Canon D20) for a few hundred more, so why spend so much on this? I think camera phones should not focus so much on megapixels, 2 megapixels is enough, we only take quick shots to post on our journals and websites, so the focus should be on shutter speed, flash, and video options... I would have to compress a 7MP picture to do anything with it... who prints pictures these days?

I dunno. I think so far, my little crappy camera phone is ok. I would really like a Megapixel camera phone

And yes a megapixel phone is needed, but all we really need is 2MP which has been around 6 years or so, they must be able to shrink that into a good phone...

How high of megapixels do you think they will make them? How much better can a picture get? I hate how it's blurry when people move. I wish it was quicker also. Oh well, they will improve it

that looks insane
maybe it would be ok for a lady like me in my handbag
I still think you would get a few laughs talking on that while walking down the street - the lens looks a bit like a listening device

I wonder if they use that lens as the antenna? That would be nice... well no, you can push that antenna back into the phone, that lens just sucks for a phone! WHy do you people keep liking it!?!
