              absolutly great phone put it in stores faster:D i don't understand why all the SE fans critises this phone because it's great.it is more performant than the c905 and it looks much better.it has Symbian 9.3 which c905 does't,is is smaller,16GB internal memory!!(not 160mb like the c905),it has a bigger better 2.8" screen,dlna,divX,5.1 sound,better battery,great video recording capabilities(VGA 640x320 at 30fps and Qvga 320x240 at 120fps) which C905 doesn't have and many other things..

                But the sad fact is...samsung really hasn't become or had been hailed of having the best camphone. Even the optical equipped G810 had already set its sun on the horizon before it could even shine. Even with this 8megapix camphone can't change that. Sad but true.

                  Anonymous, 13 Jul 2008funny how some poster said c905 is still stronger because i... moreI noticed that the lens size of the i8510 is different compared to the c905:

                  i8510 => focal length = 5.7 mm, 1:2.6
                  c905 => focal length = 5.91 mm, 1:2.8

                  It's a little different I guess.

                    I dont care if samsung comes out with a 20mp camera, i will never buy their rubbish phones!
                    So what if they develop stuff for others?
                    They still cant make phones that are better!
                    This phone is 8mp but no xenon?
                    QVGA?
                    Dont make me laugh.
                    I will wait and see...

                            Anonymous, 13 Jul 2008you got to be kidding, nokia copy ? Do you know this phone ... moresymbian was not developed solely by nokia. ever heard of EPOC? symbian is a descendant of Epoc developed by Psion. In 98 Psion, Nokia, SE and Moto came together to make a universal mobile platform. Nokia developed its own form of Symbian and SE developed its own. Read up on wiki. Also read as to why Nokia first bought out symbian then gave it away.

                                funny how some poster said c905 is still stronger because it has 8.1 mp and also the poster kept referring to phones as "he"


                                anyway...megapixels dont matter


                                and adding .1 or 2 is just a gimik...


                                most of the time they are of the same size as well...


                                and most companies label their megapixels at flat rate if they are just maiing an entry...n80 for example compared to n73 both have the same size but n73 is more focused on the camera thus they labeled it "3.2mp" whilest n80 is more of a nmultimedia trype and an entry which breaks the 2mp barrier

                                thus they labeled it "3.0mp" but in reality both the n73 and n80 have the same res...same goes for c905 and I8510
