Samsung's 10 megapixel SCH-B600 cameraphone hits for $950

Man, it sure took 'em long enough but Samsung just pushed the "world's first 10 megapixel mobile phone" onto shelves in Korea. Yeah, it's just the same cameraphone we fondled back at CeBIT in March of this year but hey, our eyes can't help but well with pride at the site of our pup all growed-up and turned out for use in the mean Seoul streets. All the specs are the same -- DMB mobile TV, MP3 player, business card reader, 3x optical zoom, LED autofocus, MMCmicro expansion, TV-out, and EV-DO -- only the price is new: 900,000 won or about $950 US green. Hey, bragging rights don't come cheap.

even north american CDMA carriers have very little shot at this. reprograming a CDMA phone for use with another carrier is a bitch, the EV-DO band is supposed to be different in asia from what it is in NA, and DMB won't work anywhere outside of south korea. But if samsung gives sprint one of these minus the DMB, I know a few loyal sprint customers who would be glad to scoop it just because it's hot and new.
