A peek at Nokia 6680
Engadget has a short note about this coming phone. It's got two cameras, so you can both take pictures the normal way and use the phone for video conferencing (if now anyone cares about that).
It's odd that manufacturers so voluntarily add expensive components to phones (see e.g. the V800 for how to solve the "two directions"-problem properly). If someone put two (or even one...) cameras or LCD's on a notebook people would think the manufacturer was insane, but in the mobile industry it's normal for some reason. The question is who is paying for this. Most likely the consumer in longer and more expensive subscriptions, even though most people only need a phone for voice and text.
