To answer the question at the end of the article - yes, as I currently only have a simple mobile phone for making emergency calls plus the usual "I'll be home in x minutes". I hope to be picking my galaxy camera up tomorrow, which I purchased to replace my Sony HX20 plus old mobile, assuming that calls would be available on the camera eventually. Meantime, texting and skype will suffice.
I don't really see the problem with using it as a phone - it's the same width and height as the SIII, and smaller than the galaxy note.
Does the shutter still make that awful clunking noise?

JackM: Where have I seen this camera before? Oh right, here:

except this camera has a better red-eye generator. and probably better video.
Sorry, should have been a main item, not a Reply
And which forum does this get discussed in?

"In addition, the camera can shoot 8.3 megapixel stills while recording Full HD video for clear, high-quality still images from recorded video"
So does that mean you can frame-grab an 8.3mp still AFTER recording ?
harrisoncac: It doesn't accept standard SD cards? Going to Micro SD makes thing nasty. If Sony can accommodate a Memory Stick card, they can an Secure Digital card as well.
It's not a memory stick, but a memory stick micro.
