yeah but if you want decent pics, you can get a decent small P&S camera and a phone that will do the rest for the same price.

It's like if you really want an iphone and don't want AT&T, you can get a verizon phone with good service and an ipod touch to have both.

Speaking of which I know a bunch of phones can be used as modems, I wonder if anyone has tried to use the phone and come up with some way to connect the ipod touch to the net through the phone.

So you are going to go into a bar with both your phone and a P&S?.......Most people would rather only have one device. And anyways, the vast majority of P&S cameras are no better than the best cellphone cameras.

That's why you get a decent P&S, they can be much better than a any cell camera. Then the question remains, why are you bringing a camera into a bar in the first place? Are you wanting to be that douche?

Because maybe you want to take pics of friends? And if other people don't like the flash, fuck them.

I'm with you on the picture in the club. The last two times I was out there was 3-5 cameras going in the group that I knew.

But I do take my P&S because it takes better picture then my Treo did. I just toss my camera in my back pocket. for that reason I would like to have a thinner camera.

If my next phone takes good enough pictures I might leave my P&S at home. Or maybe not. I let others take pictures every now and then. I would rather not hand my phone around to everyone.

Totally off topic (nothing new, right? ) but sometimes a (comparitavely to an SLR) shitty point and shoot is just right for the job. Thus why I'm investing in one before I deploy... mainly because I'd rather trash a $100 P&S than my $500 DSLR.

Not to mention a P&S I can stick in my pocket and take with me everywhere for those spur of the moment inspired shots (of which most of my best pics from my last deployment came from), as upposed to lugging around my XT.

That's a good point right there too, a decent p&s is going to be cheap in comparative to this phone which if you don't get the warranty can run up the bill to replace in comparison to basically a disposable cost on the decent p&s. I much rather get a $100 P&S and have that trashed than trash my camera phone which I am stuck with for another year and a half til my contract runs up or be forced to get a crappy phone to make due instead of spending the outrageous costs for buying an unlocked decent phone.

Yeah I can lose a camera and do with out for a bit but if I lose my phone it screws things up like you just said. Cost of the new phone, time without phone and so on. But i really like having a camera on my phone as well. I like having a camera at my side at all times. I have my phone and I like to take my P&S with me in my truck as well.

That's where I'm at! Sure I admit that my 8 meg phone won't be as good as your DSLR but I'm not trying to take pics to hang in a museum for god's sake! If I'm riding and I see something interesting,bang 8 meg decent pic! Plus,it has a huge internal memory and room for a 8 or 16 gig card! Shit I have a 4 gig in my phone now and I'm not even half full. Someday soon,the phone will put all other portable devices out of business imho.

It's pretty much stopped being a phone since the iphone came out. It will replace the laptop before long.
