14 DAY TRIAL // We have all seen mobile phones with digital cameras, some of us have even had one or still do, but I'm sure you haven't seen or had one that has a real built-in digital camera. This is the case when we're talking about the freshly launched SCH-V770, a mobile device that sports an impressive 7 megapixel camera (not very outstanding compared to the 10 megapixel one that rests under the case of the SCH-B600, but pretty mind blowing anyway).
The V770's digital camera is the first one on the mobile market that does lots of things for the first time. It offers its users manual functions only featured until now on stand-alone cameras (you can manually adjust the focus, the focal length tweakable from 7.8 to 23.4 mm, the shutter speed from 15 seconds to a as little as 1/2000th of a second, the auto exposure lock and you can also mess around with the exposure, of course if you know what you are doing, by tweaking the aperture priority, the shutter priority, all of these by fully manual options).
It also comes with tele-conversion and wide-angle lenses, auto-focus and flash, 3x optical zoom and 5x digital, and it works with the help of a 1/1.8 inch CCD sensor.
The mobile phone half of this "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" device is a CDMA2000 1xEV-DO handset working on 800 Mhz networks and it features a 16 million True Color TFD-LCD display with QVGA resolution, video on demand (VOD), music on demand (MOD), TV-OUT function and an extra 32 MB of memory located on a MMCmicro memory card.
Kitae Lee, the Samsung President and CEO, has declared that "it's very important to lead the trends continuously introducing innovative new products and we will continue to commit ourselves in developing distinctive products for our consumers. Our development of a 7 megapixel camera phone will set a new standard in phone industry. I would like to see our technological advances contribute to the growth of the convergence in mobile phone industry and create a more convenient way of life."
