Mobile Burn's Michael Oryl has recently reviewed the Samsung SGH-G800 5 Megapixel camera phone with 3x Optical Zoom and given it a "Not Recommended" rating. Michael enjoyed the Solid build, Xenon flash, crisp call audio and the music player on the device but didn't really enjoy the Blurry photos, bulkiness and lack of 850MHz GSM support.

Here is the conclusion by Micahel Oryl:

"I had quite high hopes for the SGH-G800 when I first saw it in Seoul. The device truly looks the part of a modern digital camera. It feels like a camera, has a real flash, real zoom, and even face detection auto-focus. It just seems to be lacking when it comes to exposure intelligence and auto-focus sensitivity, which results in it taking a lot of blurry photos.

As far as regular phone functionality goes, we can't say for certain if it will perform well enough for the typical European users or not, but we can say with some certainty that due to its frequency band support and average, at best, 1900MHz reception, it will probably only be of interest to T-Mobile users in the USA with very strong signal strength in their area.

In the end, I come away from the G800 underwhelmed. The device looks good on paper, but just can't live up to expectations. There are too many other devices that can take good pictures much more reliably, and because that is the focus of this particular phone, I feel I have to give it a "Not Recommended" rating."
