Steph wants a camera phone for Christmas and I just started looking at them. It appears that a 1.3 Megapixel is currently the best although I read Casio is coming out with a 2.0 Megapixel phone soon. She only cares about the phone and the camera. She said she does not care about MP3 capability but I bet she would use that feature if it was there.

I read that the Sony Ericsson S710a is a good choice from this website:

S700a http://www.letstalk.com/product/productpop.htm?prId=28065&servicePrId=29353&noAddToCart=1

Sony Ericsson has this one too:

W600 http://www.letstalk.com/product/productpop.htm?prId=29636&servicePrId=29353&noAddToCart=1

I'm also considering this Motorola model although she does not care about PDA, Internet, Email, etc:

Does anyone have one or a recommendation?

Thanks!

Those phones above cost between $100-150 with a 2 year agreement. Her current contract is up so that is not a problem.

Here is a Motorola with bluetooth headset for $50

This LG is $200.00

I may have found the perfect phone for her. This Samsung is also $200.00 (with a plan) and has a 2.0 megapixel camera with 'optical' zoom.

I bought this one over the summer:

Then I lost the damn thing while in a drunken stupor at a 4th of July party.

I then decided that I won't spend any more money on cell phones, so I dug this out and it is all I need:

I have a Motorola Razr. It only has the 640x480 VGA camera in it. Motorola is going to be releasing a 2.* MP camera in Q1 2006 I believe, almost identical to the V710 I think.

I've never dealt with the Ericsons, but everyone I know that has/had one says they are a pain in the ass to get used to.

That Samsung looks awesome too.

See when I think camera phone, I think of this:

with a phone built into it.

Nice

I don't have any personal experience with the Konica-Minolta stuff, but I understand it's pretty good.

I have a Maxxum 400si 35mm camera and I love it. it takes great photos and is really reliable. I've had that for about 7 or 8 years now. the great thing is that my lenses are compatible with this camera too. I really like the anti-shake feature - lets you take photos down to 1/30 w/o a flash or a tripod =)

I've had a camera phone for a year. I've taken 3 or 4 pictures with it. it sucks.

Nikon is my choice. The D70 and D50 will work with all of my old nikon lenses.

2x, the D200 is comatible with all the nikon AI series lenses, on top of their AI-S, D and DX series lenses.

The D70 is not compatible with AI lenses, it might be compatible with the AI-S lenses, but I'm not sure.
