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.

Of course it will. N95 camera has neither xenon flash nor face tracking. And lets not forget optical zoom. But i think N95 still wins in video recording department.

In what way? They already do make some of the best phones around. Their phones not only have good looks but also have solid construction, good software, hardware and features. Their last few phones have some of the finest cameras around. They also make the best sliders. What more improvement do you want? They're the ones which have improved the most over the past few years. From being nothing couple of years ago to being number 2 company today.

The last time i checked, Samsung was second, followed by Motorola and then SE. Samsung recently overtook Motorola for second place.

Here see for yourself. I found this on some other forum:
last quarter results (Q2 results):
company---------marketshare--------QOQ----------YOY
nokia -------------38.05%--------- +1.90%------ +4.69%
Samsung----------14.22%--------- +0.41%------ +3.03%
Motorola----------13.50%--------- -4.52%------- -8.59%
SE----------------9.47%---------- +0.82%------- +2.79%
LG----------------7.26%---------- +0.99%------- +0.75%

1- nokia is the biggest gainer
2- motorola is the only loser
3- samsung have surpassed motorola.

A samsung phone with 10MP camera was exhibited in a exhibition around a year back. Saw it on NDTV Gadget guru.
