Technical update: Brica does 8 megapixels on its phone

[CES 2008] Looks like China is catching up with the rest of the camera phone world in terms of megapixels with the Brica KT600 handset touching the 8 megapixel mark. You don't get any sort of fancy optics with this unlike Sony Ericsson and Nokia offerings, but the KT600 ought to more than capture decent images on the go in 8 megapixel glory and the Xenon flash light. The KT600 also does video capture, but you can forget about 3G with this since GPRS is about as fast as it can go where mobile data is concerned. The FCC have not yet taken a look at this, so until then there won't be any word on pricing or availability.
