You can have all the megapixels you want, but if the optics, the sensor and/or the image-processing software is lacking, then you get no benefit other than higher resolution but lower quality images. This is part of the reason some of the companies make a big deal of the phones having Carl Zeiss optics. It's mainly marketing as if any other factor isn't up to scratch then one good component will be of no benefit whatsoever as it just gets bottlenecked by the rest of the device.
I've seen "Gigabyte G-Cam" phones advertised as 7mp. The actual sensor is only 5mp but it upsamples in software, so already that's no real benefit. No idea how good the image quality is, it could go either way as their computer products tend to be pretty good, but as to whether or not that translates to their communications division...
Then you've got Samsungs 7mp phones which have a proper optical zoom. Can't say I like Samsungs products though, been bitten too many times.

@knight, have had a bad time with samsung myself.
what i'm more curious 'bout is if golden has got himself to play with the p990 & w950 as he claims that both their screens r as good as the s700.

@goldenface:
the screen of the W900i, according to the review by mobique.com, is dull compared to the S700i. Take a look
here.
yes, it seems

will no longer produce swivel phones, as i read on the same site above about the cancelled production of the S600i, and instead made it as a W550i. can you please provide a link to the report about the cancellation of the production of swivel handsets?
@ayk:
sorry, i misread dart5's post by overlooking the walkman fixation. by the way, what seems to be the problem about the walkman branding?

i made a stupid thing selling my s700i. wanted to get a p910, but missed the opportunity...so i feel very bad about it...
now, that i dont have it anymore, i really appreciate!!! i am crying about the wel known menu features, and camera.
regarding the difference in sherpness and colours of cameras, take a look at the camera from moto mpx220: same 1.3 mp, but the worst images ever seen!!
dont ever do a stupid thing like me, and keep yr s700i!
ps: in stead of buying a newer (supposed to be better ) phone, i am getting really serious of buyng a new s700i again!!

The S600i was cancelled by

but was replaced by W600i. The same phone with walkman branding.

As far as I know the direct S700 replacement was cancelled a while back. I think the nearest we'll get is the Wilma which I believe will be announced tomorrow. From what I’ve seen this could be a good phone. One of the things that’s makes the S700 a good camera phone is not just the pixels (which is low by todays standards), but the guts were based on a proper camera. The problem I have with the Walkman branding is that they've released about 8 Walkman phones an no primarily imaged based ones. I think the S700 is a great concept and was really hoping for a follow on. Mine still turns heads and it’s 16 months old - not many phones can do that!

i do hope

will release phones with "cybershot" branding, but i think they are more keen on developing phones with "walkman" branding...

i want

to stop announcing W-branded phones and start announcing cybershot branded phones.
or a good s700 replacement!! come on SE, or i will move to the others.
there is no suitable s700i replacement and I am sick and tired of W phone. 1 is wonderful, 2 are ok, 3 ...get by..but by now, there are toooooo many w branded SE models.
ok, SE, we got the ideea, you CAN make W phones, but what if WE want something else?? should we try at Nokia or Moto or samsung?
for instance:
my favourite phone would be a s700i swivel design with p910 menu.
is that hard to make a s700i with symbian and 2-3 mpx camera?
hope SE can read this!! it is not a single opinion.,...we are far too many who want this!!
