If you'll notice in the photo of the sewing machine the background is blurred. That's actually a feature that mimics the depth of field you get from SLR and DLSR cameras. Just gives the photos a look like they've come from a high quality camera. The list of features on this phone is ridiculous. Voice commands for everything. Camera that shoots in slow motion video and super high def video. It even has a built in heart rate monitor as gimmicky as that is. The way this happened is I took one of my "Scrabble bitches" to the Verizon store on Thursday after work because her son (who lives in Portland, OR) had suggested that she get an iPhone and she wanted someone to help her at the store. Karen is 70yo and has only very limited experience with a pay-as-you-go flip phone that she always left turned off except when she needed it in emergencies. So this was going to be a big step up. The salesperson pointed us in the direction of the Galaxy because of its larger screen and the ease of a "Simple Mode" that can be engaged for people just like Karen. And they quoted her a price on a 1gig data plan that was equal to what I currently pay for my dummy phone with NO data plan. I fell in love with the phone and the price made it a no brainer. So I did a little research and pulled the trigger yesterday. Very happy with my purchase. I am going to love having a nice camera with me at all times! Sidenote: I am on the Verizon network now. I used to be with AT&T.
