I found this:
The WB850F's rear LCD is a VGA-equivalent OLED, and the camera also features
built-in Wi-Fi with a browser.

Why stop there? Why can't I make phone calls and send text messages? Guess
it won't be long.

I imagine holding the Nikon D4 up to your ear for any length of time would
tire the arm!

Good reason for not buying the D4 then.
But if I hafd the money I would invest in headphoes and even a mic.
IU've noticed quite a few phone users do that are are they walking
down the street
talking crap to themselves well whatever they're usualy talking
crap ;-D

I woonder when the first camera that uses the cloud for storage[1]
rather than
a memory card will be realised.

[1] Well it'd have some smal local storage.

Well, you can. Don't you have a camera-equipped Droid or iPhone?

No, I don;t want a mobile phone, I'd like a camera that could make the
odd call though.

No, I;d like to spend £500 on a resonable camera that can take or make
the odd phone call.
Although I like the idea of the iPhone4, I don;t want to spend £500 on
a phone that has a camera attached to it.
I want the majority of the money to be spend on teh camera not the
phone.
