It’s some thing to launch a funky cameraphone just like the Nokia N8 and another to feature phone features to an outstanding digicam. Here’s the case of the LG L-03C handset, that comes with a terrific camera, maybe the smartest at the cell phone market. Too bad that sacrifices are made within the design department, to stuff a huge camera sensor into the device.

Available only in Japan, through local carrier NTT DoCoMo, the LG L-03C uses a 12 megapixel CCD sensor, with an ISO range of 3200, a Pentax 1:3.6-5.5 lens and 3x optical zoom. Xenon flash and 720p video capture also are included, in addition to a battery that gives 3.5 hours of talk time. The resulting handset is 22mm thick and 60mm wide, quite big for a traditional pocket.

LG’s new cameraphone includes a 3 inch 800 x 480 pixel display and we’re really concerned with the OS chosen for this phone, even though it’s most unlikely we’ll ever see it in Europe or the usa.

The Communicator series’ follow-up, Nokia E7 was recently confirmed for launch in December, although no specific date was mentioned. Although initially, it seemed that December 10th was going to be the selected day, Nokia clarified the problem, saying that the E7 will arrive in December 2010.

This 4 inch tilting QWERTY smartphone is without doubt one of the fresh Symbian^3 devices, with very appealing specs, like:

Display: 4 inch, AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 360 x 640 pixels, Nokia ClearBlack technology, multitouch
Memory: 16GB, 256MB RAM, 1GB ROM
Connectivity: HSDPA 10.2 Mbps, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP

CPU: ARM 11 680 MHz, 3D graphics accelerator
Battery: Li-Ion 1200 mAh, as much as 9 hours of 2G talk time
