Well done! This looks to be a really nice piece of kit! Im loving the high end mobile phone market at the minute, some amazing phones being released! Usually I upgrade as soon as a new high end phone comes out but this time im waiting. Im after the same camera spec as this phone (12mp with dedicated camera processor & 3x optical zoom) PLUS the ability to record in HD. All the other usuals would also be required 8/16gb memory, wi-fi, mp3, top of the range screen etc. Until then ill hold onto my INNOV8=D
