Samsung's M8800 Pixon Cellphone

Samsung officially announced its second 8-megapixel cell phone, the Pixon a.k.a M8800
(the first one was Samsung i8510 INNOV8)
In fact it looks very much like a compact camera from the rear, and its 3.2-inch screen bears the same TouchWiz interface as the Omnia. That screen is a 400 x 240 pixel touchscreen with touch keyboard and handwriting recognition, and the phone has AGPS, accelerometer and FM radio.
