Since time immemorial, we've looked for ways to combine two or three devices - each with a unique purpose - into one easy-to-carry gadget, and it usually worked. The spoon and fork gave birth to the all-time favorite spork, and the gun and knife to the rifle bayonet. Camera and phone? Look no further than Samsung's latest technological wonder to be unveiled, the Samsung GH800.

While certainly not as deadly as the aforementioned examples, the newly-unveiled Samsung G800 certainly can be just as every bit as handy, combining the memory-preserving handiness of a digital camera with the portable communicator aspect of a cellphone. Not to mention looks absolutely gorgeous as a gadget. And shiny, too.

But besides looking like the handsome love child of the Apple iPhone and a state-of-the-art digital camera with a model number longer than that of Shakespearean epic Romeo and Juliet when transcribed into binary, the Samsung G800 also has a couple of very neat features that's sure to prove nifty in your day-to-day life. One of these features is 3x Optical Zoom, handy for getting a closer shot.

Wait a tick, you interject, isn't the ability to zoom a required feature in these sort of gadgets? Yes, but the Samsung G800 camera is the only 5 megapixel camera phone to have optical zoom, which makes it a benchmark achievement. Add to that more nifty features that include face detection, xenon flash, wide dynamic range, the ability to take panoramic, macro and multi-shots, and you've got a sweet digital camera indeed.

So the G800 is a great camera. Is it a great cellphone as well? Tying in with today's popular trend of video-blogging, the cellphone aspect of the G800 lets users edit their own self-made content on the go with powerful editing tools that allow easy copying, pasting, and cutting with a press of a button. Not only that, the G800's mobile-blogging feature allows users to share their own content quickly, easily, and reliably, all with the help of High Speed Downlink Packet Access support.

Sounds like a great deal, eh? Hopefully, we won't have to wait for long for one to be available for purchase, as the Samsung G800 is set to hit European shores in November. For more details about the Samsung G800 camera phone, check out the Read Link below.
