I want a phone that has a camera. But not just a camera, its also a camera that has a phone. Mum broke the last digital camera in the house so now we're a bit buggered, and I cba getting a seperate phone and camera, hoping there was some cool phone out there with 3/4mp camera on it?
I'm not up to date with phones, but lets say as a ballpark figure I've got up to £200 to spend if its really worth it. - really thers no limit I just want value for money, spending £80 on a cx65 was the biggest waste of money ever. I should have spent £10 on another nokia 3510i...
So, phone + camera?

3+m/p will probably be out this september.
SEw800i and that range is probably the best camera phone in terms of quality (software better than that of other SEs).
I actually have one for sale - but it's locked on Orange
I'm going for the N70 next as I want a smartphone. It has a 2mp camera.
i should design a camera / phone combo.
However, check out some reviews and proper images from each camera-phone online (i.e google)
"N70 review" , "W800i review"
decent reviews will show you picture quality under various settings on the phone
You can get in Ferarri red as well!!!!
I'm looking at the Nikon coolpix L4 camera - 3 megapixel etc., less than £100.
Not sure what phone :chin: something that works really quickly. I hate sluggish UIs etc.
Get a FujiFilm camera mate. You can get a 6mp camera for less than 100 squids!!!
As for a phone if you want practicality get a Nokia phone.
If you want good camera and sound, sony erricson W810i.
unless your job is your camera, theres no point getting anything crazy and above 5mp for that cheap, considering you have to take into consoderation the memory card costs, if your pictures are going to be massive
i use this one, and its rather good

All I really want it for is to stick in my pocket when I go out and take photos... but be able to take nice group shots of like the family / friends too.
One thing though, I would prefer a camera you can plug into a charger and recharge rather than having to change AA batteries every week. My old one was... http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002XNSU4/qid=1145462697/sr=1-47/ref=sr_1_2_47/203-7629374-4466361 that - but mum dropped it on the floor in the kitchen, when the floor was being changed so it was all concrete. Hehe.
aye thats a goodun
and still looking for a nice all round phone
However, the quality of a phone camera won't be as good as a stand-alone compact of similar megapixelage because of the components involved.
My friend has that camera phone - 2M pixel is fine however the lens is rubbish, good qualiy for a phone but nothing as good as a proper camera with a decent lens
So long as you don't want anything printed out larger than a postcard, you could probably get by with a camera phone, but for anything more important you should have a proper camera.
Half of the problem is the size of the sensor, and the sensor cells that light falls on to when the picture is taken. Even with the best lenses, a quality camera will always win out, because of the better, larger, sensors - same reason why a DSLR will pick up more detail than a compact with the same MP.
I'd say a camera phone might be handy for those snaps that you wouldn't otherwise get because you don't want to carry a camera. A lot of pictures of events these days are captured on camera phones because that's what people have.
But thanks for the shots anyway .
Do you want this phone on PAYG, contract or sim free?
Those images aren't full size sonny Jim
In full size, they look nice
*shrug*
sim free would be nice i spose. heh
Yea, I've decided to get a standalone camera now, as since its built for the purpose it will just simply work better
So a nice phone that just works is what I'm looking for. A nokia would be nice, as I have a 3510i and it was bombproof (unlike my siemens phone) - that is until I dropped the 3510i in some water, anyway.
I got my siemens cx65, cos it had a big screen, camera, internet capabilities, etc etc. - in practice its absolute shite. It randomly turns off, none of the functions really work. If I try to look / take a photo it says not enough memory (theres more than enough). Nothing about this phone works.
So looking for a nice new one that works properly, would be nice if it had a clear screen so I can see things on it. Other than that, I dont think I need much. (on my nokia 3510i I had a picture of my girlfriend as the backgroud picture - I just uploaded it onto the net and downloaded it via wap!)
I have a Motorola V220 which is good. Mine was Sim Free. It has a decent camera, video (can't take video though; can only watch & store them) and you can make your own ringtones. However, it doesn't have Bluetooth, but you can get a cabel for it to transfer stuff from the PC to the phone and vice versa.
:eek2:
No no no!!
upload it to imageshack or somewhere free, write down the url (http://www.imageshack.us/image) or something, then type it into your WAP browser and it will say there is a download do you want to download, say yes. Completely free :cool:
I'm not sure I trust any make other than nokia. Actually, my girlfriend just got a nice one... cant remember the make now . It slides! But it doesn't break!!! Siemens are absolute piles of shit. Whats a cheap and cheerful but goes for ages kinda phone? With a nice screen, preferably
