It seems Motorla will market phones in 4 categories, ROKR (music phones), ZOOM (including 8 megapixel with optical zoom), RAZR and Multi Q (business phones with full qwerty keyboard)

8 megapixels? 
Well I suppose Moto does have a lot of ground to make up. The year after next we'll be expecting 10 megapixels plus the way things are going.

isn't optical zoom the thing that sounds out with that rather than the 8 megapixels?

is it just me or is that wayyyy too much?!?!?! i mean id even say the 5mega pixel SE is way too much...
2mega is more than adequate for a mobile is it not? this is just gettng redic!!! and not only that its making us spend more on memory sticks etc.... con if you ask me....
other than that... all im gonna say is those pics better not have been taken by a motorola otherwise - well..... LOL! |

The new moto cams are being produced under the kodak brand name so I guess they're going to be good |

8MP is MUCH too much. 5MP is too much. who cares what the resolution is like. it's only the quality that matters and nothing else. its betetr to have a good quality 3.2MP camera than an equally good quality 8MP camera. think about it - what use is the extra size other than cropping and printing? a downside is that the file size of the 8MP pics will be significantly larger, with little or no practical gain.
there really isn't any need for it. it's just a marketing ploy and nothing more.
Mr&Mrs Gullible go to CPW to buy a phone for their little johnny.
CPW: hello sir. maam. how can i help?
Mr Gullibles: hi. i'm looking for a phone for my son, but i don't know where to start looking.
CPW: well, we now have this excellent new moto recently added to our stock, and it features a stunning 8 megapixel camera
Mr Gullibles: hmmmm. i'm not too sure what that means in real terms. how does it compare with other cameras out there? i know our johnny would like a nice camera.
CPW: well, most cameraphones on the market feature a 3.2MP camera, with a few offering 5MP. this phone is a massive step up from all those currently on the market. so if you compare it with an 8MP, the 8MP phone produces significantly higher quality pictures on account of its much greater resolution.
Mr Gullible: *turns to his wife* so what do you think then, Peach? it certainly sounds like we've found the best camera on the market from what the salesman says. if the salesman says its good it must be good. these people know more about cameras and phones than we'll ever know. i'm sure johnny would like it.
Mrs Gullible: the price seems ok. ok, love, lets take it.

The pics have been blurred, but the pics on the presentation weren't that clear either

X Pxl is the name of the phone, the Skarven is 8MP.

Aren't we supposed to be all happy that Motorola come up with SKARVEN, an 8 megapixel smartphone. Whether 8 megapixel is too much or not, still another great technological leap.
I think some of the people here are just bitter because their beloved cellphone manufacturer won't be releasing a similar phone anytime soon. Will they ever release one? HaHa....
