Cool they should! I have a 1.3MP camera phone and the quality stinks… and to think there were many 1/2 MP phones for sale, how bad would their pics be?
I love having a camera on my phone, it is so convenient. I love being able to take a picture anytime. It was a great idea. I knew from the day I heard of the first camera phone which was $500 was coming out that it would be a huge seller. I had a whole argument with some guy at work about it. I told him “that’s cool! That’s really gonna sell”. He said: “No it’s not, it’ll be a flop, who needs a camera on their phone?” I told him, “Mark my words, it’s gonna be a huge seller. No one NEEDS a camera phone, but no one NEEDS a cell phone either, but they love having their phones and adding a camera would make it an even bigger seller”
Yey! I was right, and finally, I was able to afford a camera phone!!!
