The Sony Ericsson Idou - the worlds first 12 mega-pixel camera phone. At the moment the Idou is just concept but it is due to be released in the second half of 2009. As-well as having a nice 12 mega-pixel camera it also comes with a new 'Entertainment Unlimited' service. Viewing images on the Idou's 3.5 inch touchscreen having an amazing 360x640 pixels resolution and a 16:9 wide screen screen ratio is of excellent quality. Disappointingly the Idou only has an LED flash which gives some photographs a blue tint, most people think that it would have been better with a Xenon flash instead.

It uses Symbian OS which means an update to the Sony Ericsson interface, menu system and the overall experience of using the mobile phone. It features a built in Global Positioning System (GPS), WiFi and an accelerometer which is a motion sensor.

So if you are looking for a new handset with good features and an excellent camera then the Idou might be worth considering, but it won't be cheap.
