I keep getting excited every time I see phones that may actually have 'working' cameras. But alas, this phone is for [Korea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-radio) only.

"The MS550 has a 3.2 megapixel camera with a unique pop-out lens and 2x optical zoom. It supports CDMA EV-DO 3G data connections, has a memory card slot, and can play advanced 3D games on its 2.2" TFT display. Its 64 voice polyphonic sound generator can be used to play MP3, AAC, AAC+, and MIDI sound files in stereo, when used with a headset. - MobileBurn"
