Honestly, who needs all this fecking junk?
I have had dozens of mobile phones over the years, and from a functional point of view, except for portability and battery life, they seem to be getting worse and worse.
I want a mobile to make phone calls and send the very occasional 'txt msg m8'.
I don't want it to organise my life (I have a diary), be a camera (I have proper cameras) or a game-playing device.
Same thing with PDAs. I was an early adopter with the (hopeless) Apple Newton, and the (somewhat functional) Psion 3a. But in the end, I reverted to pen, and a pocket diary/notebook - so much more functional and no battery worries!
Am I alone in being frustrated with this flimsy, feature-overloaded, poorly-engineered, 'made in China' tulipe that passes for consumer electronics nowadays?
Whatever you buy, this time next year it will be on the tulipheap anyway.

Why carry a separate camera when I can just use my mobile? If the camera quality is good enough then a quick click, download onto the PC and there you go.
I was at the kids christmas show and I only had my mobile on me. While the pictures will be OK (2 Megapixels), I want to see if theres a better one out there...

It sounds churlish but I have to agree. OTOH if you just want a no-focus snapshotter that actually produces recognisable snaps of people near you, fine: that's what I want from my phone camera too. But I wouldn't call it "really good", or even "any good".bogeyman said:After a new lawnmower with a really good toaster built in
If you want a "really good camera" then buy a fecking camera, not a mobile phone.
"Decent camera" = quality compact digital eg Nikon Coolpix.
"Good camera" = 35mm or recent digital SLR.
"Really good camera" = Medium Format or better.
