Ok, I think this is the last type of photo comp we need. If we have enough people that have camera phones/PDAs, then I'll happily keep this comp up. Since this is the first week, I'll need some of you photo comp owners to revise the rules and tell me if I need to change it or not. Well, let's get started. ;)


Camera Phones/PDAs Photo Comp Rules:
1. Picture MUST be taken from phone. (Can't really tell, so please be honest)
2. Please post your mobile phone/PDA's brand/model name along with the entry photo.
3. There are no required themes, so take photos of anything you want.
4. Once you have submitted an has confirmed that a photo is an entry, it cannot be changed, no exceptions allowed.
5. Please also post the title of the entry photo.
6. This Comp will be hosted every week on Sundays, and voting will be on Saturdays.
7. Anyone MUST prove that he/she owns the phone/PDA that he/she claims to have by taking a photo of his/her phone/PDA using a mirror. (Only in the first entry)
8. Second option of ownership proving is to take a photo of the box that the phone/PDA comes in. (Again, ONLY in the first entry)
9. Anyone caught cheating will result in exclusion of the current week's Comp.
10. Photos MUST be posted in 800x600 or less.
11. Rules are subject to change without prior notice if necessary.

My phone camera (Motorola V500, vga) is so crappy that I don't even want to use it. And I suppose I'm not the only one thinking this way. Of course this competition would probably be more about the target of the photo, and not the quality, but still.

It really doesn't matter what phone you use as long as you can take pictures with it. If you resize it in smaller resolution then you can still have good quality photos. Just give it a try. :cool:

My phone-camera can only take about 620x480 pixel images. And with the current crop of new phones with 1MpX+ cameras I don't think I stand a chance :(

It is not about the quality of the picture ! Just for the fun of taking pictures.
Let's just try this out !!

First picture shows the box of my Sony Ericsson P900 smartphone.
So its not high resolution camera but it will do.

Second is my entry, I took it on holiday in Normandie (France).

Ever think of the Sony Ericsson S710a instead? I think it has the same price tag as the V3 but it has 1.3MP camera with 8x zoom. My mom owns a black version of the V3. :)

Ah well, phones will never beat the real photo camera but its fun for quick snaps or video's. And the MP doesn't says it all. I have a Logitech pocket camera 1.0MP but my SE P900 0.3MP camera makes better photo's :confused: probably because of the software.

Oh yea, Logitech...........worst camera maker except for webcams. My phone takes 1632x1224 pictures at maximum. :D I'll unveil it when the time is right. And yea, Sony Ericsson does make the best multimedia phones.

Sorry , I apologise , I didn't take these two pics with a PDA , but with a digital camera.
But I took the two others with my dad's mobile , a Motorola , I've been surprised by the quality , although there wasn't any flash :)

The clarification picture is in my attachments.

P.S. NuclearCrap how are you enjoying your K750i? Was looking at one but the 850 band would be missed greatly in my area.

EDIT: Just realized the pictures are still bigger that 800x600, could someone with PS avaiable to the just do these, I'm in HK and all I have is MS paint, I already resized them from 1280x1024.

To those considering the razr, I had a longer post about this, but UCP crapped out and didn't post it so I will just summarize.

This may be the phone for you if you are a tool, famous, or like to NOT get your money's worth. I bought my V551 for $400 less than the razr at the time, and got Edge over the razr, losing only a unreadable external screen. If you do buy the phone no one will think its cool, as now that its $200 everyone and their mom will have one, and the only thing people will think when they see it, is why you bought that when there are so many other options. But you never know, maybe you will enjoy a phone running a OS motorola developed 3 years ago, and enjoy being percieved as one of those people.

EDIT: Nuclear just noticed that you started this thread, haha. Considering your phone has a 2MP camera, that would explain alot. I like the K750i alot but didn;t get it because of the lack of 850. Im assuming you know about the capabilities of that and the S710A if you took the plunge into buying it?

OMFG, how did you know I have that phone? And don't worry, I got the your pic resized to 800x600. How is HK? Hot? I just came back from there like a month ago. And that's exactly where I bought my new computer. :)

P.S. I got my K750i after I was back to US, it cost less here afterall. $70 after the $100 mail-in rebate, believe it or not. :D And it's an import.

Where the hell did you get it for $70, I might be getting one too then. Hong Kong is miserable, it hot and humid, I hate being outside. The electronics are so much better and cheaper than the US stores. Did you go the the Golden Market? really cool place. I knew you had the phone by the resolution of the pics it takes, and that you created this contest so you can show them of haha. Congrats on the phone, and thanks for rezing those pics, when you make the poll I would appreaciate you putting those in so the pic can be shown not a link. Post up the pic your entering I want to see it, and to give everyone else and idea of the quality its capable of the picture below was taken with a K750i.

That one could actually be pulled off with a S710A too if everthing is right, but it won't be.

Uhhh...what do you mean by "850"? I know that the S710a has a bigger screen and 8x zoom on the camera instead of the 4x on my K750i. But come to think of it, my K750i is definitely cheaper after the rebate. (That's because we know the guy working at the store.) My mom only cares how good the reception of a phone is so she got the V3. I can't believe it as well, K750i for the unbelievable price of $70. And yea, I like it because it's smaller than the S710a. :)

PM sent Nuclear. There are four band that phones use to get reception. 850/900/1800/1900, 850/1900 are used for my provider, and in the US, and 900/1800/1900 is used in the rest of the world. 850 is mostly in rural areas and I live in a rural area so it is important to me. The S710A is 850/1800/1900, and the K750i is 900/1800/1900. The A is for americas the the end sof S710A, and the I is for international on the K750i. A K750A is in the works. The reason the Razr get better reception then you K750i in america is the it is a quandband phone having the 850/900/1800/1900 bands, these are also know as worldphones as they will get great reception all over the world. My old V551 was also a world phone. However even though my S710A is missing the 900 band, I am in HK and I am constantly at 5 bars, so 900 may not be as essential as 850. 1900 is the most commonly used.

Sorry for the long post.

EDIT got more proof... I'm at work so I used my camera to take a pic of itself in the bathroom, and I captured my account screen on the Sprint PCS website, hopefully this will suffice...
