More Cellular Phone Convergence?

Korea Times reports that Samsung President Lee Ki-tae, in a recent meeting with technology analysts, has demonstrated a cellular phone with a built-in 8 megapixel camera. The phone, called the SPH-V8200, is the bigger brother of its five-Megapixel SCH-S250 that was launched last November. Unfortunately, that phone along with the upcoming version will only be available in Asia. Source: TG Daily
