The Samsung Flipshot is a popular camera phone because it provides high resolution pictures where you can almost see the soul of your subject, plus, it has a unique design which makes it look sophisticated.

One of Blackberry’s biggest rivals is the Apple iPhone 3G. The 3G has the same features as the original Apple iPhone. It offers a speed 3G wireless performance, new App store support for cool applications and GPS mapping.

The Samsung Flipshot is currently available for $399.99, not including airtime and calling plans, the RIM Blackberry Pearl has a price tag of $199.95, not including airtime and calling plans.

The Apple 3G costs $199 to $399, depending on the model you choose – again this doesn’t include airtime or data plans.
