LG have announced at the 3GSM conference that the LG KG-920 5 megapixel camera-phone will be heading to Europe this year. The number of megapixels in camera phones has steadily been rising recently.  Thin mobile phones now offer 1.3 megapixels; most high-end mobile phone have been offering 2 megapixels as standard; and some of the Korean manufacturers such as Samsung and Pantech will be releasing 3 megapixel cameraphones later on in the year.  However, this is the first time one of the super-high tech Korean phones will make its way outside of Korea, and the most megapixels of all the cameraphones on the European market. No news yet whether the LG KG-920 will be available in the US, but the signs are promising.

For the European market, the LG KG-920 5 megapixel cameraphone comes with GSM, auto-focus camera, Bluetooth, Flash, MiniSD slot, and MP3 player. Normally, it's a candybar, but there's a join just beneath the screen allowing the bottom third of the phone to rotate.

The LG KG-920 comes in a rather interesting twisting form factor. On one side is the mobile phone keys; twist it round, and you see the camera, enabling you to take great self-portraits, should that be your narcissistic hobby!
