Samsung is throwing down another 7 megapixel cameraphone -- 7.7 to be precise -- but this time they're adding DMB and a whole lot of screen love. The design for the B500 is similar to their SCH-V770, but to make room for the extra pixels they've transferred the keypad to a slide out form factor. Despite this they manage to keep the phone reasonably thin at 0.7-inches, while still tossing in a 3x optical zoom, video out, and a T-Flash slot. No word on price or availability.

Samsung made some quality handphones nowadays.
I'm impressed.
Optical zoom is zooming with the lens right ?
Not just cropping the image ?

That's pretty cool. What they've got going on with cell phones now-a-days, is pretty evolutionary-ish. What used to be a simple device to share phone conversations, evolves into a computer, phone, video camera, camera, palm pilot, and who knows, maybe they'll add the kitchen sink. LOL

Looks better than my digital camera. LoL. Seriously a really awesome phone but of course price would be too high.

And yes, gema.. optical zoom is indeed with lens. The one which crops the image is digital zoom.
