Verizon just launched the Samsung A990. It has a 3.2 megapixel camera (finally!) with an auto-focus lens (finally!). Still, it's always possible they screwed it up somehow - I haven't seen an actual image yet - but this looks good. It's also EV-DO (high speed data), has bluetooth, and a nice big screen. Possibly a tad on the large size, but doesn't look too bad. Unfortunately it's pretty expensive for a non smartphone - $349 with a two year contract (and that's after a $50 mail in rebate.)
Other than the price this looks like the one to get if you can't wait for the ultimate sweetness that will be the Nokia N73 (also 3.2 megapixels with auto-focus Zeiss lens.) Finally the good cameraphones have begun to launch. I'll have to dust off the email to blog picture posting bridge.
Why is the delay so long from announcement to launch here in the U.S.?
