Well when I got it I asked for a phone with a decent camera, can't see
the point in having one if it's not usable but I wasn't expecting it to
be quite so good. I have a Nikon D70 but don't always want to lug that
around with me and besides, it doesn't have a macro facility. The
drawbacks with the phone cam are not picture quality but rather the lack
of a viewfinder (the screen is pretty useless in bright light) the fixed
focal length (the optical zoom knocks the quality right down) and fixed
aperture. But all things considered, for something which is effectively
free I am very pleased indeed. I've heard that the newer once even have
image stabilisation.

LOL, I know what they are thinking, you are standing up therefore there
is the possibility of a walk. Magic is a he and is quite a bit more
chunky than yours I think.

Some more pics here (this time taken with the Nikon)

Snowdon (camera unknown, probably Olympus)
