Samsung today introduced the SGH-G800, a new photography-centric slider. The G800 sports a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera and Xenon flash, similar to other high end camera phones. However the G800 also adds 3x optical zoom, face detection and wide dynamic range (WDR) to its photographic abilities. It also features Bluetooth and a microSD slot. The G800 is a tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900) with HSDPA 2100 MHz phone for Europe and Asia. It will be available in those regions in November, but is not currently destined for American shores.

The reason is that besides Motorola most companies manufacture their phones in Asia... Also, if you are with a CDMA network (Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, etc) it takes longer to get nice phones because they must be made to work with CDMA networks. VERY fe...

Mark my words... a CDMA Variant will hit Sprint in 2008.
Sprint has a habit of convincing Samsung into taking their cool European, Korean phones and converting them into Sprint CDMA Phones.
a940, a900, Upstage, etc..
In 2008, we will see this phone as a CDMA EV-DO Rev. A QChat compatible phone.
