It should have Philips trademark insane battery life (5+ hours talk time), a TV-out mode, a VGA camera, 7MB of memory, a 65k color screen, and an e-mail client; we can’t corroborate the specs on the 755 yet, as Philips has apparently yet to put out an official press release. But what’s really going to make waves with this handset is the integrated image-tagging software. You’ll be able to mark up your cameraphone shots all graffiti-style"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20040917-Philips755.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Mark up your pictures? Sounds like an interesting gimmick, but I don't feel the need to scribble on my pictures using my desktop computer, so why would I want to do it on my phone? :?

Very interesting. Very 'out of the box' thinking. I hate using keypad buttons, so even a stylus might be an improvement.
