There’ve been many a mumbling about this going down, but Samsung’s finally thrown down, and what we’ve got to show for it is an unbelievable 5-megapixel cameraphone.i don’t have any details on it yet (or any decent pictures,for that matter, except the one above) but holy moly, what more do you need? It’s not like it’s going to come out here anyway.

Samsung today officially announced the world's first camera phone with 5-megapixel resolution. The SCH-S250, available later this month exclusively in Korea, also includes the first QVGA display in a mobile phone that supports 16.7 million colors. A text-to-speech function is also included, allowing the phone to "speak" to-do lists and incoming text messages. The 5-megapixel camera, designed in cooperation with Asahi Pentax, features a high-quality CCD sensor, 1/1000-second shutter speed, and QVGA video recording. The unique "stretch" design protects the display and camera lens when not in use. 92 MB of built-in memory can store up to 100 minutes of high-quality video, and an RS-MMC memory card slot provides additional storage (32 MB card included). An MP3 player and TV output round out the features.

Samsung’s new SCH-250 is a five megapixel camera phone—a worlds first. It should come out in South Korea next week and will cost about $800 US. Specs are still frustratingly limited, but the Samsung SCH-250 will have 90MB of RAM and an MP3 player in addition to the camera.

although i agree that it can replace a camera for some fun pictures but phone cameras will never catch up normal digi cams, maybe some in the class of let's say v1 but i highly doubt even that.....

That is a huge leap from the 1.3mp camera phones that are coming out currently. Skipped the 2..4mp range completely.

well some one askt "can it replace a digitalcamera..." i say you can not just look at the number of pixels in a camera and say if it is good or not .. in a mobile phone there is not to much room for a big ccd so it´s must be a realy small pixels whit 5.000.000 pixels on it, so thats no good i rather have like 2- max 3 mpx on such a small ccd.
And the optics cant be to good in that small space either

The picture with the 'real' camera next to it is revealing.
