New Poll - Camera-free Cell Phones

[ #107013 ]

Okay, here's the thing - I lost my Motorola V300 camera phone Sunday night, so I had to dig out my old V60. And you know what? I *LIKE* my old V60 so much that if the new phone turns up, I'm giving it away.

While I was at the store re-activating my old phone, I asked if they had any non-camera phones in stock - and they only had one, and it wasn't a Motorola, so ... I passed. I think the manufacturers are missing something here, because a few of the people I've talked to in the last few days say they'll never buy another camera phone (bulkier, don't use the camera after the first few weeks, etc).

So, time for a new poll:

Would you buy another camera phone

[ ] Yes, I love mine
[ ] No, I think they're useless
[ ] I'd prefer not to, if they're about the same price
[ ] I haven't tried one yet - thinking about it
[ ] I haven't tried one yet - and NOT thinking about it
[ ] I don't have a cell phone, you ignorant clod
[ ] CowboyNeal is my camera
Just as long as you don't us it for taking pictures of this (thanks to Michael Hunt for the new link)

  • the cameria is awfull normaly and they never have enough memory , Though i did enjoy using it at a museem which disallowed cammeras I had to pretend i had a cough to cover up the snap sound it artifically made
  • I don't have a cell phone, you ignorant clod

    I'm still waiting for a phone to come out that features a DSP that I worked on. Maybe if I spent less time reading /. there might be one in production by now....

    But seriously, I would probably buy one with a c

  • I've got a SE P900 and I love it :)

    It's obviously no good as a pure camera, but for the random little "ooh" shots, its good enough.

    I think theres still a fair few Nokia phones here in the UK that you can buy without a camera though
  • I have some slight use of the camera on my Treo600, but I would rather have the chance to buy one without the cost of that gadget.
    Then again, I would like to run emacs on my phone, so WTF do I know? :)
    • My favorite court security question about my cellphone is, "does this have a voice recorder." Of course it does; they all do these days. But if you say so, you have to go back and put it in the car. My answer: "Well, I suppose I could call someone's an
  • The only "camera phone" I ever had was a bizarre Sony Ericsson where the camera came with the phone but plugged into the bottom. Once plugged in, the thing worked roughly the same way other SE phones work, but, of course, you never really carry around the
  • Can I have it (post to the related journal article for contact info)?

    My wife lost hers (a non camera model) after having another one stolen, so we are forced with paying full price for a phone. Meanwhile, my wife is looking for a digital camera to use in
  • Got it last week, and I love it. It does, regretably, have a camera. My request was a physically large non-flip phone, as I can't stand talking into a pack of gum. I don't have any real complaints about it yet, and even managed to get a few pics of a good

  • One of the few that AT&T had without a camera. If I want a camera, I'll take my camera with me. I have a decent digicam (Fuji Finepix somethingorother). The 'luxury' my phone has is a color screen, with which to display the CUTEST DOG IN THE WORLD. :D
  • (I can never remember which letters they double, so I double them all just to be sure.)

    Anyway, I'm quite happy with it -- as a phone. The first think I like about it is it has an ordinary dialpad. I hate/loathe/am-physically-repulsed-by Nokia's stupid,

    category.

    Can't have cameras at work :x

    That and I haven't had any of the "damn I wish I had a camera" moments, or wanted to pay even more for a cell phone/bill.

  • While I don't think you're an ignorant clod, I don't (and won't) have a cell phone - I bought one for my wife for emergencies (A ball and chain for the ol' ball and chain, if you will), but I enjoy being free of telephones when not at work. If I need to c
  • "[X] I don't have a cell phone, you ignorant clod"

    I'm poor =P
  • I guess I'm the only one here who 1) doesn't have one and 2) actually would like to get one. Actually not so much for me, but for my wife, who finds herself frequently saying "damn, where's the camera" when our son is doing something particularly cute or
