Keen snappers will love the stunning 8 MP camera (the clever reasoning behind the name) complete with Schneider Kreuznach optics (normally found on stand alone cameras), auto and manual focus, Xenon flash and extras like blink detection and ‘smile shots'.

Similarly, budding movie-makers will be dribbling over it's video capabilities (sorely lacking in the iPhone) with DivX and Xvid support as standard, Muvee video editing software and the ability to shoot videos at 5 to 120 frames per second.

Top all this with the latest Dolby music player, a host of cool built-in games, and importantly, excellent call quality, and you might just well have a real alternative to the iPhone.
