We got some serious hand time with Sony Ericsson’s first 8 megapixel cameraphone last night. Come and take a close-up peep at our exclusive video of it in action.

As you’d expect, it’s a well-crafted phone, that feels light in the hand and solid to the touch. Sony’s software also zips along, with shots snapping in the blink of an eye, despite them being 8 megapixels in size.

GPS is also simple to use. It automatically switches on when the camera’s active, searching for a signal so it can pin down your photo’s location.

A whisper from those in the know says it’ll also be in store in October. That’s just four months away, so our advice is to hold off any imminent upgrades!
