Photos would look just as good scaled to 1MP because the lens is rubbish - sure it's fine for it's size, but 2MP sensor on a lens about 2mm across is a waste.

The pictures cell phones take are, in my opinion, essentially "yearbook photos" - nothing fancy, just snapshots of ad-hoc moments. I wouldn't need to print anything bigger than a 4x6, but I want that picture to be in focus with decent exposure. A buddy of mine took a shot with his iPhone while we were eating ice cream at Glacier this weekend and the results were less than stellar. I'm with you, Tom.

Guess your blog was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not really sure why I took my iPhone frustrations out on your blog. Guess your blog was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I want to be able to receive picture texts without having to visit a website and enter in a long difficult login and password in order to see a small thumbnail of the pic sent to me. <br /> <br /> Video conferencing would be sweet, but let's start small with basic features that I had before switching. It's very frustrating. I just want to be able to view the pictures my sister in-law sends me of my 8 month old niece staring deeply into a grape... and the pictures my roommate sends me of his weekly trip to the tittaaaay bar. <br /> <br /> Come on!

Ryan, are you willing to buy phones for your buddies and save everybody else the wait in line? :)
