For a long time one of the things that had people upgrading to new handsets was an integrated camera. Camera phones today are so common that the sole addition of a camera isn’t a draw to one handset over another.

However, the vast majority of camera phones on the market share something in common – horrible performance for taking images. Even the iPhone has a bad camera that often takes grainy and dark images. For mobile phone users looking for a handset with great picture quality the coming Samsung i8510 may be just what they need.

The i8510 has been seen passing through the gadget leaking hands of the FCC with support for AT&T’s 3G network here in America and the Rogers network in Canada. The camera is the big draw for this device with 8-megapixels, digital stabilization, dual LED flash and facial recognition. The handset also runs the Symbian S60 OS, the first US Samsung device to use this OS.
