Product Description from CNet.com

When Sanyo introduced the SCP-5300 camera phone a few months ago, we were clearly impressed with the company's efforts. The only aspect that might keep that impressive mobile from having mass-market appeal is its prohibitive price point. Enter the SCP-8100, an arguably affordable phone/camera that has many of the sought-after features of its sibling without the high cost.

Design

The Sanyo SCP-8100 is more compact (3.3 by 1.8 by 1.1 inches; 3.9 ounces) than the SCP-5300 and fits better in a small purse or a pocket. However, you'll find the same overall design: a built-in camera and a small, 65,000-color external LCD that not only displays network strength, battery life, time, and caller ID info when available but also a picture of those calling (if they have an image associated with their phone-book entries). All that's missing cosmetically from this slimmer model is a built-in flash.
