It’s not the world’s first camera phone, or Sprint’s, or even Samsung’s – but the Samsung SPHA600 was the first camera phone that made taking pictures feel almost as natural as with a pointandshoot, by using bleedingedge design that still makes sense seventeen years later. 

The year is 2003, and the Samsung SPHA600 just became MrMobile’s first camera phone, back in the days when phones … were fun!
