Samsung SGH-G800

Price $370 - $549.99

(from 3 sellers)

Is it a phone, or is it a camera? Until recently, cameraphones were unquestionably

still just phones with chintzy cams tacked on, but it looks like we're finally

getting to the point where the lines are truly blurred. Samsung's new G800 slider

is now official, packing a 5 megapixel autofocus camera in a rather attractive

metallic form; that in itself isn't terribly notable, considering we already have

a handful of 5 megapixel handsets on the market. What is notable, though, is the

added bonus of a xenon flash and 3x optical (yes, optical) zoom. Heck, from the

back, you can barely tell it's a phone at all. Add in the usual goodies like Bluetooth,

HSDPA, and a generously sized QVGA display, and Samsung has a winner on its hands

-- or at least it would have a winner if only it'd launch stateside. Our far luckier

European brethren, meanwhile, can lay their hands on this sucker starting in November

for a to-be-determined price.
