New phones releasing Thurs 4/12, NOW its 5/3
Samsung r510 "the wafer"
1.3 mp camera, non flip, really thin, its OK at best, but its a samsung...so check out this phone in May and see if its worth $70 w/ 2 yr.
Samsung "Snap"
flip VGA camera phone, good aero-dynamics if user decides to huck it across the room (which is what you'll want to do with it)
(hype is you can use the camera to compose a MMS from a hand-writing message. I've tried the phone out, it's crap, but hey, it's gonna be $10 w/ 2yr, so what do you expect... What I don't understand is: what is stopping ANY camera phone user from taking a pic of a hand-written note and sending a pic mms to another user...this is def. groundbreaking tech here.

I just did it, with my 15 month old 6255 (another carrier). Sent it to my employee's 8910 (also co-incidentaly 15 months old). He had no problems reading it. So what's the big deal, besides pushing pic messaging?
...
what... i am confused... i take pictures of like documents and send them to people.. wtf
...
exactly, its hype is you dont have to type txt mms, instead you take a pic of it and the phone produces a poor-quality copy of it using its VGA camera and sends a pic mms to the other party...something that could be done already with a much better quality camera (ie LG 8600, Moto razr, etc.)
