8MP camera. Is that pretty standard on high-end smartphones now?

I see what you did there. Just pointing out that their numbers don't make any sense.

The iPhone 4 has a 5 MP camera, but it's still the best camera on a phone. It's not just the MP that makes a great camera.

Even middle of the road. I got my Droid X in Feb. when it went down in price and that's what it has.

Gotcha. I don't really care about cameras on my phone but that makes sense. Reading about the improved aperture and response time now.

More on the camera

"CMOS backside illuminated sensor — gets 73% more light than the iPhone 4 sensor, and 1/3rd faster. On top of that, we place a high-end IR filter for greater accuracy and uniformity.”

“We have an amazing lens system, five lens elements. It’s now a really wide f2.4. Compared to most point and shoots we can let in a lot of light.”

11:10AM - 1080p, real-time video image stabilization (yes!), real-time temporal noise reduction. Video demo time!
11:09AM - Next: video recording. “We take stunning Hd video, and for the first time, 1080p video.” Applause.

Maybe you should ask a few more times and they'll tell us sooner.

It's an update, so why don't they just call it the iPhone 5? "What's in a name?"

LiKeLy. I know this is inaccurate because the $ is after the 99.
