Great price indeed!!!. You can buy 6-7 of the cheapest instead of a highend, samsung, Nokia or apple

EDIT: Just placed an order for a KEON. Not sure what to do with phone...3 MP camera LOOOOOOOOOL

Nothing...if you bought the device 1998 Today we have bigger guns, let me tell you.

But who cares about the phone, it's a GEEKPHONE!

Actually, it came out almost 4 years later. And there are no bigger guns out there, albeit there might be few faster ones
And I bet I can take my 2000-ish camera and beat up anything you care to throw at me

Just say it's a quad-core 750 Super-KP+ camera with a Cornea sensor and you're all set. The press (or at least Engadget) will love it.

Exactly. It's not the size, it's how you use it!

Seriously, more pixels is not necessarily a good thing. More pixels on the same die size means the pixels are smaller. Which means more susceptible to shot noise and more easily saturated. In other words, you get pictures with more pixels but fuzzier and with with less dynamics. Burnt out bright spots and black shadows. Trust me, I know.

I'm not an expert, but yes, that sounds right. Obviously a *good* 3MP camera with a good (big!) sensor will beat the cr4p out of any smartphone camera.

BUT, Dave999's comment does have a certain truth in it. I bet Keon's 3MP camera (and Peak's 8MP's as well) is pretty much crap.

Great!
New phones that aren't WP, iOS or Android.

How does FirefoxOS interact with your contacts list, on-device database or the file system? Or can it even do that?
