Megapixel Camera Phones

[killkylie]

Are there any Megapixel Camera phones available outside Japan that we can actually get and use?

GX22

for the much much much better screen (both main display and sub display)

CG silicon rulz

e700's OLED doesn't live up as a viewfinder(it's crap actually, once u compare that to GX22's sub display)

and, GX22 has multicolor LED-flash illumination

and wayyyyyy better keypad for sms/dialing

as far as i know
no
not yet
probably have to wait longer than we previously expected

but plans/roadmaps are already out there back at CeBIT:
1. sharp's GX30/2/8 scheduled for late summer 04 release
2. samsung's upgraded V series (demo machine is already out, forgot the model number) with a flip style similar to panasonic's P505iS
3. sony's GSM version for a machine similar to SO505i. the interview confirmed that they are ready to launch 1.0MP+ camera phones in non-jp market (slowly upgrading the P900 while ripping people off with T630?)
4. LG has shown interest (upgrading the G8000?)
5. NEC and mitsubishi would be upgrading their i-mode european line of phones (but no, not on the 3G nec E series yet)
6. nokia's NGAGE2 on display (apart from built in camera and biggerscreen, everything is unsure)

yes the technology is out there
and nokia and motorola are trying to rip people off with super crappy 0.1~0.3MP CMOS phones (the modules only cost 10USD btw... that's what sharp said last year just after J-SH52 was launched) clearing the inventories? hmm.... not enough stocks? motorola was surprised at the market response for low quality camera modules, THAT's why they ran out of the parts.

LG SC8000 which has yet to be released 1.1MP plus a sliding keypad (ala SL55) Pretty nice.
