Seems like a pretty good phone to me, yes the pictures are shit, but for grabbing that snap of your mate passed out in his own vomit they are fine. That even has a zoom on it along with all the features of a good Nokia. I would have kept it.

its a good phone otherwise, and the zoom is just digital zoom, which basically crops the image and enlarges if anyone dosent know what that means

not worth the 400 dollar price tag is what im saying

WHat do you expect for a first gen phone?? The next ones will be better. Also Sanyo = lose. I bought the first color phone they made, and it sucked so bad. The screen was usless in bright sunlight.

Also, these things are not going to beat Nikon D1X's any time soon. They are only good for grabbing a quick snap and viewing between 128x128-->320x320 before it gets real shitty.

Personally, go for a Nokia 7210/6610 if you want a camera phone at the moment.

Too much useless technology for me. All need is a phone on the go that will vibrate while I am in meetings or formation.

Hah, I remember a Rorey Bremner sketch on the british army. Remember all those problems they had in that exercise in Oman? Well heres a transcript of general or airmarshal or whatever. (abridged)

"Yes yes we were disappointed when the boots melted"

"THe problem with the SA-80 in the desert would be that it would be better if the solider could fire it, take it apart and oil it"

"Well, the challenger battle tank is designed for middle european enviroments. Being in the desert reduced the life of the air filter from 500 hours to about 79 hours"

"The rotar blades on the helocopters were also reduced in life expectancy. These went from 300 hours to about 34 hours.

<interviewer> did that come as a suprise to you?

It did to the pilots."

"Yes yes we had big communication problems in oman. Radios not working and such. Infact in Kosovo, soliders resorted to using thier mobiles to communicate."

"So the perfect situation is, the solider could get out of his tank, get on his mobile and say: "Hello, my gun wont fire, my tank wont drive, my helocopter wont fly, my radio doesnt work and my boots have melted..... and he can send us a picture of himself as he does it"
