I have 8 Megapixels....
We’ve mentioned the KC780 before (here and here), but the update for all you UK readers is that it’s coming here soon – most probably in November!
Assuming it goes official, this means that there will be five top-spec 8MP camera phones in the retail market before Christmas – and to think that barely a year ago we were all gawping over 5MP…..
In case you are wondering which other devies are packing the 8MP and butting up against the KC780, you have the Samsung i8510 and Pixon, the Sony Ericsson C905, and the LG Renoir.
Quite how we are expected to differentiate between all this MP-related goodness I don’t know, but I would suspect how the device looks, and how the UI is in each device, will probably be the tell-tale deciders.
Price and availability are still TBC, but I think we can rely on LG to deliver, especially in time for the all-important Christmas replacement/gift/upgrade market….!
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

I bought the LG KC780 and the phone is very good. But I have problem with music files in AAC format. If I upload them to the memory card, the phone very often crashes. Does anybody have similar experience?
