The Samsung Pixon M8800 is being marketed as "the world's slimmest full-touch 8.0-megapixel camera phone", at 13.8-mm thin. Measuring 3.2-inch, the touchscreen is a 240 x 400 resolution-boasting WQVGA TFT LCD number. The camera has a 16x digital zoom, auto-focus, face detection and geo-tagging, and there's even a dedicated photo browser to view and share your pics. Capture video footage at 30fps (720 x 480 resolution) or 120fps (QVGA), and even film in slow-mo. Play video in files including MPEG4, WMV, DivX and Xvid. There are a host of connectivity options; these include GSM, GPRS, EDGE as well as HSDPA at 7.2Mbps. You also get Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0, a TV out connection. It features an internal memory of 200MB, however there's the microSD card slot, so buy yourself one of those 16GB SanDisk cards and load it with thousands of tunes. As long as they're in MP3, AAC, e-AAC+, e-AAC+ or WMA format.

The Samsung Pixon M8800 will be available in the UK and Ireland from 1 November 2008 for prices that are as mysterious as UFO sightings occurring in USA only.
