As for features, the V600 has 4x zoom and next years models will have loads more features. However phones will not necessarily replace professional digital cameras. OTOH, when will professional digital cameras start adding Wifi, Bluetooth or 3G? Next year I predict.
At this time, I don't think any of the Sprint PCS (my crappy carrier) phones have enough built-in memory to allow me to store a lot of pics in the handset and then download them (or "Bluetooth" them) to another device later. PCS offers a new PDA-type device that has a camera in it, but everybody I know who has one of these (without the camera) always has trouble with it, so I don't think I want to go there.

That would be awesome to get a good digital camera with WiFi capability. Imagine being in just about any city in the world and zapping a couple gigs of data from your cam to the Internet while you sit and have lunch. Cool! ^ (Okay, so it might not be that easy until late in the decade, but it'll happen eventually...)
