We have seen many 8mpx cameraphones come and go, but this is a first for the Korean market.  Apart from its 8-megapixel lens, Samsung SCH-W740 or the Haptic 8M has other features that are equally high-end and include a big 800×480 pixel touchscreen display and support for HSUPA for up to 5.7 Mbps.  There is also a T-DMB receiver thrown in for good measure along with Bluetooth 2.0, and a business card scanner.  A host of other camera-centric features like auto focus, face tagging, smile recognition, and a Xenon flash are available.  One feature that sets the Haptic 8M aside from the other 8mpx shooters is its ability to translate a document to English automatically from a picture.  There is no indication anywhere that the handset supports haptic feedback, as one might be led to believe by its name.

The Samsung Haptic 8M will be available from SK Telecom for 900,000 KRW or about 660 American greens.
