since camera is a essential function of modern mobile phones, it's hard to find a non-camera phone now!...

It could be argued that a camera is NOT an essential feature of a mobile handset, and if you don't/wouldn't use that feature, why should you have to pay for it in your handset cost? Is it not the networks who impose this on consumers, so that they can earn themselves (up to) 50p for each photo message that's sent?

This review of a Nokia 6021 is interesting, as it suggests that many businesses have been searching for a reliable handset without an unnecessary camera. (The 6021 doesn't have a camera.)

i am not a big fan of Motorola - they have probably the worst user interface. but most likely you should have a folder/drive when you have installed and connected the phone to your pc. so you should just be able to drag and drop the files...

cos that s how it works with nokia or a normal mp3, just a guess! !

No i have not got that

I have only had a camera on my phone for a few months, I always have digital cameras around because I sell them, I never think of taking photos with my phone.

I never use a digital camera now, I only ever use my phone. I've got a sony ericcson K750i and the camera is amazing for a phone, at 2mp. Took 400 pictures when I was away for a month in August, had to buy a new memory card as I filled the one that came with it! It goes everywhere with me, mainly because it is a phone, not for the camera functionality, but if photo opportunity arises I've got it there to use.

true, but since i have always had a phone with camera for the past 3 years (since the Sharp GX10 first came out) and due to the fact that i believe most of us have a camera phone by now, so ignored that.

but i suppose the option could be intergrated with the last option: 'never, dont get the point of camera phone'!

i have never seen a picture taken by K750i, and i have a DC with me all the time! and 400 pictures on the phone - i have to admit that camera phone is probably not far from substitute the read DC now ! !

The pics are amazing, and there are lots of settings, so you can switch to different lighting levels, day/night/flourescent etc. etc. macro for close up shots, it has a light and a flash, you can edit the pics for red eye etc. on the phone, and so many other features blah blah!;) If you want to see a pic, I can upload one for you (I think I know how to do it anyway!) It's an amazing little phone, I love it! Got it last May and there's still not much around, camera phone wise that can touch it.
