It seems that a handset manufacturer by the name of Altek has come forth to announced their 12megapixel touting T8680.

As you can see, this phone is as close as you can get to being a digital camera while still retaining calling features. Coupled with its 12MP sensor is a 3x optical zoom, xenon flash and video recording features making it a perfect alternative to an actual digital camera.

Other features include a 3″ touchscreen, Bluetooth, USB, TV out port and tri-band 900/1800/1900 GSM/EDGE capabilities. Unfortunately, there is no word if Altek ever plans to bring this phoen to North America but, as always, we’ll keep you posted.
