Pantech PG-8000

Pantech makes high-quality, well-designed handsets to capture the market currently. Their PG-8000 is a newly released 2-megapixel phone that is conceived to be "camera first, phone second". It look like a digital camera rather than a mobile phone from the picture. However, it has the features like 8.4 MB built-in memory, storage card enable, Bluetooth v1.2, GPRS (Class 10), Infrared. It use WAP 2.0 / xHTML for its web browser, 256,000 colors for graphic & video, 2.0 MP for video & flash. PG-8000 Multimedia Player is supporting MP3 / AAC / MPEG4. The talktime is about 3.5 hours and Standby time at 200 hours for the battery life. It is 99.8 x 51.8 x 16.1 mm in size and weight at 0.23 lbs / 106 g. This is another great choice for camera phone lover.

World's Thinnest 1.3 Megapixel Camera Phone

If you are looking for a slim and tiny camera phone, NEC L1 might be your favorite choice. It is the thinnest 1.3 megapixel camera phone in the world. Although NEC L1 is still slightly bigger compare to VK2020, but the the camera phones range, it should be ultraslim enough compare to other currently.
The amazing aspect of the L1 is its speed; some tiny phones seem to lack processing power leading to slow response-time. But the NEC L1's response is instant. The made-in-Japan L1's rock solid quality and fast response time make it a joy to use.
Another neat feature is an included cable that allows you to use any headphones for handsfree; use the Amadana 117 bamboo earphones for style, or use noise-cancelling headphones to combat a noisy environment. There is also an integrated 1.3-megapixel CCD, 26mb internal storage, integrated Bluetooth, external OLED display, and an MP3 player. Please note that the L1 has English menus but a Chinese file structure (ex. the folder containing MP3s has a Chinese name). Besides, there is a useful software suite (English) loads your own videos, photos, and sounds/MP3 files, to use as ringtones.

VK 2020 The Tinnest Handsets in The World

VK Mobile's VK2020 appears much like a Motorola SLVR L7. This is VK Mobile's 1st thinnest handset, and also one of the thinnest handsets in the world. It measures only 8.8mm (.35") in thickness, significantly thinner than the SLVR L7's relatively beefy 11m waistline. It is also 19mm shorter and 2mm narrower. For those of your keeping score at home, that equates to 95mm x 47mm x 8.8mm (3.7" x 1.9" x .35"). Don't forget the fact that it weighs 53g (1.87oz), just slightly more than half that of our review SLVR that comes in at about 101g. This thing is tiny.
It support for Bluetooth and a whopping 1GB of built-in flash RAM for storing music files and photos. The music player supports the MP3 and AAC formats, and the built-in camera takes VGA resolution photos. The VK2020 is available in two different tri-band GSM versions, one that supports 900/1800/1900MHz, and one that supports 850/1800/1900MHz. The VK2020 makes use of the same 1.5", 260k color OLED display as does the VK5000. The display works pretty well and has a resolution of 128x160 pixels. JAVA MIDP 2.0 support rounds out the package. The keypad that the VK2020 uses is eerily similar to Motorola SLVR L7. I believe this mobile will capture lady market as it's slim and stylist. Unfortunately, it's not a Camera Phone.

Upcoming Newgen T-4

Newgen T-4 offer a touch screen solution to let you write on it. The phone works in GSM network and its camera module is hiding in the slider. You can start the camera mode by pulling the slider to show the camera lens. The biggest disadvantages of this phone is definitely the battery life, it only get 120mins talk time and 100 hours standby time. I believe, this is definately a good phone and will capture the market eyes once the battery life has been improved.

Samsung is going to come out a extremely thin mobile phone SGH-P300. The P300 shares a footprint no bigger than a credit card and is just look like a calculator.
At just 87.5 x 54.5 x 8.9mm (think credit card size), the P300 is extremely thin. So it's amazing Samsung's engineers have managed to stuff this skinny 65g number (137g with case) with most of the multimedia bells and whistles. Onboard is support for triband capability, a 1.3-megapixel camera with flash, about 80MB of built-in storage, 4MB for Java applications, Bluetooth connectivity, MP3 player, dictaphone, speaker and alarm clock. It even packs a 1.8-inch (176 × 220-pixel) 262k-color TFT LCD display, which delivers the vivid colors expected of a Samsung even while under bright sunlight.
With a phone this slim, it's pleasant to discover that the 800mAh Lithium-ion battery is removable. But what's far more interesting is the leather cover the phone "docks" into. In an out-of-the-box creative effort, Samsung has integrated a 400mAh Lithium-polymer battery into the case to extend the battery life. There's even a camera window in the case so you don't have to remove the P300 to snap those shots.
The onboard speaker proved surprisingly loud and clear, though not as full in sound quality as the Walkman phone series.
