What's Hot

Five-megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom and face detect, solid chrome casing, HSDPA-capable, A2DP Bluetooth

What's Not

Bulky design, keypad tactility, sluggish user interface, proprietary headphone jack

The Final Word

The G800 is the cream of the crop when it comes to camera phones. Five megapixels, 3x optical zoom and face detect make this a handy imaging device to have in your pocket. Camera aside, the rest of the handset is solid, but not outstanding.
