They announced the Idou for the 2 half of this year. Last year they announced the C905, but it never came. Instead the Pixon, Innov8 and Renoir where all faster in stores. And they all scored better than the C905 in a head to head comparisson 8 megapixel shoutout.

The Idou looks very nice and i hope it will be in stores soon. I hope it comes with a better lens and picture quality than its precessors and not just focus on megapixels. The Motorola ZN5 has only 5 megapixel but with the help of Kodak and Carl Zeiss is undefeated when it comes quality pictures.

In Japan they have the Casio Exilim W63CA where they build a mobile on a camera. I like to see SE takes the good stuff out of one of their cybershot digital camera and build a mobile arround it instead of trying to fit a inferior camera into a mobile.

If they do that i cant wait to get a new mobile.

This phone is not made to beat all the standalone digital camera... You are so funny to act like that... And dont you see? I has a 5.9sensor w/c is the biggest sensor you can see in a mobile, nokia N82 has only a 5.7 samething like that, and the i8510 has 5.6, if you want a gigantic sensor then please dont post here coz we are talking about mobilephone not a real digital camera! St_pid! Peace...

                        Mega Pixel is only good if the censor mega pixel were uppeedd...

                        I just wishes that SE will up the sensor they use.
                        Therefore, a 12MB Pixel will became a GREAT THINGS.

                              Cmon megapixals aren't a big issue. A 3mp standalone digital camera can beat this. If a phone carries huge amount of pixels then it becomes too cumbersome for its tiny sensor. As far a nokia is concerned they will have the cup at last! Just cross ur fingers
