Eneken got a new phone, perhaps to make me jealous. The Sony Ericsson s710a [photo via Engadget] is a 1.3 megapixel with a swivel form factor. Thought I was cool with my Treo, but no more.
* Drawback: software is slow; configuring email.
* Draw: several clicks to send by email
* Drawforward: Slid into camera mode, open the shutter, then click.
Since she wen't Flickr Pro, we were looking to get her both a low cost camera and a tri-band phone (international). Being the tightwad, I tried a Nokia series 60 (the forthcoming models from Nokia will blow this away [disclosure: customer of mine]), but she emailed all her friends in Estonia to prompt it's return. While in the store someone went out of their way to point out the Motorola RAZR they had took crappy pictures, so that was out.
The form factor makes the concept of depth familiar. You can't squeeze a good lens in a skinny form. Shame, as slim is more popular than slimboy jerky amongst a tailgate of rednecks. Unless until the quality on liquid lenses makes it commercially viable -- accept he fact that it is a camera, that happens to slip in your pocket.
Net Net, she is on the network now. Editing movies with iMovie. Flickring without ties.
