Wow, technology has come a long way....

... sorry this is probably only cool to me but.... I took this picture on my Android Phone (HTC Incredible) and am very impressed at the quality of the picture. It's an 8mp camera and takes 720p video both of which can apparently turn out very nicely. Anyway just thought I'd share

I think it's more than that. I'm about to ditch this Galaxy S phone and go back to my iPhone4. The Android UI/experience is just too inconsistent and littered with random small issues and glitches. It doesn't feel polished or finished. Huge potential, but it's just not there yet.

Phone cameras are definitely getting better. Then again, they had nowhere to go but up.

Very nice picture....pretty good resolution and focus...oh yeah, your new Submariner ceramic black is nice too...ha! Smart phones are turning into a multi-media all in one device. I don't have one, put do have the 4G iPod touch (same as iPhone, but well....no phone)....I think it's a fantastic device (shoots movies and photo's)!

Cheers

Your phone takes better pictures than my camera.

You can keep your phone. Can I have your watch?

Nice shot..The phone cameras have come a long way. It's no longer necessary to carry a small pocket camera to weddings, partys etc. The phones today take great shots and you always have it with you.

Nice watch.

I have an iPhone but my next phone won't be an iPhone unless it natively runs Flash. I can't believe I have a crippled smart phone because of some pissing contest between Apple and Adobe.

I think I would be thinking of it as a camera with a built-in phone!

One of the first things I did with my Samsung Galaxy-S was disabling Flash. It's quite slow, and drains an incredible amount of battery power for displaying what is usually annoying advertisements.

If you find you're visiting websites that use Flash video or Audio, they'll probably switch over to using HTML video/audio support soon enough.

You have the option to turn it off on your phone if you wish. And my next phone will also have that option.
