I want to get a good camera phone that takes good quantily pic's. So I don't have to carry a digital camera around in my Zed, in case some idot goes into it.

 

What's the best phone to buy that takes the best pic's?

 

 

Thank's everyone :)

My N80 is the dogs, 3 meg camera

I bought my Nokia N90 purely due to the camera, photos are perfect.

The new N92 is an upgraded version.

They both have Carl Zeiss photo lenses.

 

In fact i would sell you my N90 to buy an N92 if you are interested? :) (Bit of a gadget Freak!)

dont get an xda or mini xda my camera sucks.

 

my old sony ericson was very good tho

The Sony Ericsson K800i (Cybershot) has 3.2 megapixel camera.

The Sony Ericsson K800i (Cybershot) has 3.2 megapixel camera.

This is the ONLY camera phone on the market today worth getting. Bugger the Carl Zeiss lens schtick, this is 3.2MP, it has Cyber-Shot facility (with magic trickery it takes a series of photos starting before you press the "shutter" button as well as after)...BUT, more importantly, it has a proper Xenon Flash. Q. When do you most use a camera phone? A. When you're out having fun at night. In poor lighting condition. Do you see where I'm going with this? Buy the S.E.. it's what I advised my best friend to get and what I'll be getting now the limited edition version is available...;)

sony ericsson k800i 100% some reviews here of people who have had the phones http://www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/mobile-phone-reviews.htm

Got to agree with the SE, although I have the N80 as well (and it is a reasonable cam) a couple of guys at work have the SE and they are really good :D

Question: how does it know you are going to take a picture, and can you trick it and not take one just to be a devil :p

k800i all teh way!!

k800 for me too

and there's a james bond edition!

 

If you want it to record evidence at the scene of a car crash I don't think digital photos are admissable. Get a disposable camera.

 

If you're after a camera phone, I have the Sony Ericsson 750i - great but without a proper flash bad in poor light conditions.

and there's a james bond edition!

 

Exactly the one I'm going for! :D ;)

IMHO, Sony Ericsson phones rock. Easy to use (intuitive interface), bluetooth reliable.

 

I've only got the W800i (basically same as K750) and it takes pretty damn good (2M)pics, except in the dark where I imagine the K800 takes over.

 

Is the K800 a 3 phone only though?

 

Oh, and they're excellent mp3 players too. Got those nice squidge-in-the-ear earphones. Mmm, bassy...

K800 all the way. I got one on the first day they came out and has been great. The camera is the best thing about it.

 

If its good enough for 007 then its good enough for me! :dance:

This place has loads of info on Sony Ericsson phones:- http://www.esato.com

 

Just got a P990i and I love it :dance:

Yup K800i here too.

 

Got so many functions on the camera mode than i know how to use - the flash blinds poor unsuspecting buggers too lol.

 

be carefull with the autofocus though - was trying to take pics of a Motorhead gig last weekend - ended up taking pictures of the smoke coming out of the smoke machines lol

I've got the N80 and Carly has the K800i

 

It's a pretty phone the k800i but i'm a bit worried shes had problems with it since the start, phonecalls not having sound etc.

 

Meanwhile mine crashes randomly and needs charging every 2 days BUT mine also has wireless internet browsing and a radio/mp3 player which is damn useful especially camping or if you're in the house and you want to check your email/300zx.co.uk from the comfort of your own living room chair.

 

I think the battery problem is down to me not charging it properly the first day i got it

 

The sound on the the video recording is top notch, especially filming car engines, seems to ignore the wind and pick up on the engine note really well

I've got a Sony P990i which takes great pics but it's in desperate need of a software update to stop it crashing every 10 minutes.

The 3rd update in about 2 months is due this week :)

 

Mobile Review does some superb in depth reviews of phones but it's Russian so the english can be unusual sometimes LOL

The Nokia N93 is the best photo and camcorder quality video phone available but it is BIG.

Some great sample pics here compared to the Nokia N80 and Sony K790/800:

Samsung D900 is a very nice slim 3MP phone:

The Nokia N73 and N80 are good but N80 isn't autofocus.

Chris - can you recommend any good apps for the P990 and where to get them from?

 

Cheers,

Dave.

Or you could buy a disposible one with a flash for a fiver. It will be better quality than digital camera phones.

Plenty of stuff here:

At the moment due to memory shortage problems that cause the phone to crash or be unable to open even basic apps the most uselfull program is "Swiss Manager Pro" it really improves the stability and has a good file manager built in.

This might not be so essential after the major firmware update due this week via "Sony Update Service" available from Sony Ericsson's site.

 

Good stuff to search for, mostly free:

AgileMessenger - MSN Messenger/Yahoo/AOL etc http://www.agilemobile.com/downloads.html

 

IM+ Another MSN/Yahoo client.

 

Advanced Call Manager - Lets you block/accept calls according to schedules etc.

 

Opera Mini Browser - Basic but faster, uses little memory and works with the flip closed.

 

Mobipocket Reader - Read eBooks and RSS News feeds.

 

Games:

Frodo - Commodore 64 emulator

Lemmings

Oh no - More Lemmings

Duke Nukem 3D - First person shooter like Doom

S-Tris - Tetris type game.

Lopan - Mah Jong/Shanghai game

Atomic

Vexed

SudoX

Exactly the same with mine, you can be texting and all of a sudden it crashes, bloody f***ing thing :smash: But it does run my Sat-Nav software very nicely :D (Route 66, Mobile 7)
