It's a sophisticated camera with advanced features, but definitely not a phone.
You would look pretty stupid holding a camera against your ear don't you think?

Agree that you'll look silly holding a camera looking device to your hear. But I still think it's a phone because battery drain said up to 280 hours (3G) which falls on phone specs. This makes me think about the Nokia 808 Pureview. http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/nokia-808-pureview-1090241/review#articleContent

If this is a camera, is this means are we seeing a new era of Point and Shoot Camera? Hope they call this a hybrid point and shoot phone, because comparing it to camera at its price range - fujifilm FX1 is not promising, that until you start playing games or surfing the net with the camera i think?

What you guys thinks of calling this new type of camera? Should this camera deserve the right to be name Hybrid camera like the Hybrid mirror-less camera or is it just a plain "EXPENSIVE" point and shoot?

It can be proved to be a better camera than phone as it has all latest features and it is not that much comfortable that you can talk with it.
