Camera-quality Pictures From A Wireless Phone

For example, Samsung Telecommunications America and Verizon Wireless have introduced the SCH-a990, the first 3.2-megapixel digital camera phone in the United States that enables photo enthusiasts to take high-resolution photos of a similar print quality as a stand-alone digital camera.

In addition, the phone boasts a number of media capabilities, including video recording capabilities, V CAST to view video, V CAST Music to download music directly to the phone, and Bluetooth® wireless technology that allows a customer to print pictures directly to a Bluetooth-enabled printer. It also supports Verizon Wireless' VZ Navigator, a tool for customers that includes mapping, audible turn-by-turn navigation and the ability to find over 14 million points of interest.

"The launch of the a990 marks the first time a multimedia phone is fully integrated with a high-resolution camera in the U.S.," said Peter Skarzynski, senior vice president, Samsung. "With a design that feels and looks like a phone and camera, it is the premiere print-quality camera phone for the photo enthusiasts in the U.S. market."

The SCH-a990 has a unique design that at first glance appears to be an ordinary camera and then, when the screen is rotated 180 degrees, looks like a cell phone. This innovative design, along with the high resolution and features such as a flash and in-camera photo-editing software, makes this the first mobile device that is as much a camera as it is a multimedia phone.

Users can also download games, ring tones, wallpapers and more through Verizon Wireless Get it Now service, as well as use the SCH-a990's Mobile Web 2.0 capabilities to access the latest in news, sports, weather and more.
