Good Camera Phone

Jul 1, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 5 megapixel camera w Carl Zeiss lens, xenon flash, nice keypad, relatively light at 90gms, good battery life (with GPS turn off), large built-in 130MB memory, fast. good built quality.
Cons: No accelerometer, no 3.5mm standard phone jack, cannot charge phone with micro USB data cable, no wifi, poor battery life when GPS is turned on.
Opinion:
This is one of those phones where you have almost everything built-in. The strongest point of this phone is the award winning 5 megal pixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and xenon flash (similar to that found in N82, which won the Best Mobile Phone Camera in the World award). Picture taken is sharp and bright and the colours are vibrant. It uses S60 ver 3 Symbian OS, which is relatively stable and fast. Since i am very familiar with the OS, navigating thru the menus and functions is a breeze. There are also built-in GPS processor as well as A-GPS, both of which can triangulate your postion fast. Unfortunately, leaving the GPS on will drain the battery very quickly. My phone was flat in less than a day with the GPS on and moderate use. But without the GPS on, it s can 2 days and more.
In a nutshell, this is very good camera phone, only let down by the lack of wifi, which to me is no big lost.
