There are two models. One with camera, one without.
Now, whether or not your carrier offers both models of the 8800 is an entirely separate matter. You can always pay the price for an unlocked one if your carrier doesn't...
It would be ideal RIM made a Blackberry with a removable camera module. They could reduce the number of model offerings to just one and the one module would work for those who do want a camera phone but can't carry a camera phone where they work. Now, that latter group of people might be a really small groups, but still...

I'd need more than just an increase in the MP of the camera for it to replace my "real" camera. No camera phone has decent enough optics. I have a <1MP (about .3MP, actually) camera that can outdo any camera phone at any MP rating due to better glass in front of the imaging sensor. More MP is great but it's not the only measure of image quality. If the 8800's camera is good enough for snapshots, I'll be happy. I'm certainly not going to take family portraits with it... ;)
