The Samsung FlipShot is also known as Samsung U900, Samsung SCH-U900.Most cell phones these days come with the ability to snap digital photos, whether the owner wants it or not. Because a cell phone is only so large and is designed to perform many different tasks, the quality of pictures taken from cell phones varies, ranging from OK to grainy, pixilated and blurry. In other words, cell phones aren't generally known for taking great pictures.
The Samsung Flipshot, however, caught people's attention with its high-resolution pictures and unique design. The phone comes with a built-in 3.0-megapixel resolution camera, along with a flash for low-light photos, auto focus for sharper images and camcorder capability to capture video.
But taking a photo isn't a simple matter of flipping open your phone and pressing a button or two -- the Flipshot's design highlights what Samsung calls the "flip-and-twist" method. While it's open, the phone's screen has the ability to swivel 180 degrees. Once it's facing away from the user, the screen can flip backwards; it then closes, and turns horizontally to become a small digital camera.
Of course, it does all the things a typical cell phone does, too -- it makes phone calls and also supports Bluetooth technology. But the Flipshot's unique camera features attracted people who simply like to take pictures on the run, making it one of the most popular camera phones on the market.
Things You Can Do With The Samsung FlipShot:
