Camera Cell Phones - Whose Got 'Em?

[Jon325i]

I've been starting to look into a new cell phone and I'm interested in getting one with a camera. One important criteria is that it be a flip phone. My first pick is the Motorola V600....very sweet indeed. I may even consider an LG (Lucky Goldstar) camera/flip phone as well.

What are some other noteworthy examples out there? How about camera phones to avoid?

Lets hear your feedback.

my feedback: even the shittiest $100 digital camera will take better pictures than any camera phone. camera phones are a novelty item, nothing more

:D

Samsung makes a nice flip camera phone. It takes 1/2 MP pictures too (640x480), not bad for a camera phone. I can't remember the model # though. It also doesn't have the stupid nub-antenna that always gets caught in your pocket.

Very true....but these "novelties" are getting pretty darn affordable. I guess I want to be on that bandwagon too :P

haha, that's about the only thing they're good for. Camera phones are all about the bilng factor. Now if they came out with a 1 megapixel camera that could reasonably fit on a keychain, and maybe have the whole thing plug into USB, that'd be cool. I'm switching to Nextel tomorrow...it's a phone, not a toy.

I have the Sony Ericsson T610. It's a great phone, and one of the only camera phones that's not a flip-phone. I really like it, it's very small, and is a great looking phone. It's also got one the better looking displays that I have seen on newer phones, very detailed and clean.

I don't ever really even use the camera part, I could really care less about it. But the few pics that I have taken with it come out really well.

Here's a pic of it:

so buy a phone and a camera, its not that hard to keep digital camera in one pocket and a phone in the other.

all the time rob?? thats rediculous. The camera phones are deffinatly good to capture a moment where you normaly would miss cause nobody carrys a camera on them at all times.

How is the volume on that thing? That's the phone above my current phone (T300). The phonics ringers are so quiet, I miss half of the calls...... and the earpiece has got to be the quietest speaker EVER produced, forget trying to use it in a car.

At full volume, this phone is ridiculously loud.
