10-Megapixel Camera Phone
Samsung SCH-B600
In January, we wrote about a Samsung phone with a 7.7 megapixel camera. Apparently, that wasn't enough because the new Samsung SCH-B600 phone features a 10 megapixel digital camera and a 3x optical zoom. It's also an MP3 player. If you like this, there's also the Motorola MS550 phone that looks like a camera, but it isn't as hardcore.
