@Applespider: Thanks, I'll take it in to see if I can get new firmware.
I don't have that lastest firmware version. I have the previous. Actually, there's a newer version, but I'm not sure what it does exactly. Saw it at Howardforums.

Which Nokia was it? Have you got any photos to show us?
I posted those pics above from my Sony Ericsson and have yet to see better pictures from a camera phone. These were not taken particularly carefully and I didn't alter any of the settings. I just took the phone out of my pocket and quickly snapped - just what a camera phone is meant to do I think.
I don't see how you can say "SE phones take worse pictures than almost every camera phone". There is simply zero evidence to prove that
Yeah there is. Pictures from one phone posted beside pictures from another phone. In reviews. Also, my uncle has a Nokia. Don't know what model, but its fairly recent (even by Hong Kong standards
), and its a white phone with the brown keys. The keypad is also a weird shape, but the phone is very recognizable if you've seen it.
And of course, you ask me for proof. This sounds like a reasonable request, but I haven't bookmarked or referenced everything I read in newspapers, magazine, textbook, or webpage for reference purposes? Sorry, but I just had a frustrating convo with another guy who said I was lying because I read something health-related one time, told this guy what I read, and yet I couldn't prove it because I didn't know the source. I can't prove this either because I don't know the webpage.
I can tell you to search in Howard Forums. Those guys post links to reviews all the time for new phones. At the time, the Moto e398 (ie: the camera used for the Motorola iTunes phone presentation) took better pictures than any SE at the time, and yet was cheaper than my K700i. Of course, this was before the "firmware update" that apparently improves camera performance.
I have another friend who just got an O2 phone or something from Malaysia, and it totally rocks. Even the video isn't blurry when you move the camera quickly. It is simply amazing, and the pictures turn out perfectly.
Also, Samsung has a phone with a
7 MP camera and 3x optical zoom, as well as an older 5 MP camera with 3x optical zoom, so I'm sure there's better cameras out there than SE. And like I mentioned, the very new K750 takes better photos than even recent SE models.
