"The 2MP camera is a joke. Saying, 'If you want good pictures, get a real camera,' is a really cheap, pathetic shot at trying to defend a phone's crappy camera."
I'm not defending the camera at all; I was actually criticising the entire camera-phone marketing phenomenon that demands consumers get excited over five-year-old technology.
I have only seriously used a camera phone for picture taking once - I went to vegas and used my a900 exclusively as my digital camera. It was a stupid, stupid mistake and I will never depend on a cell phone camera again.
And still, I don't think I came off as cheap or pathetic. I didn't even reference the m1's camera directly; it was more of a "don't ever expect your cell phone to replace your digital camera" sort of sentiment. I thought my entire argument was pretty eloquent, given the time of composition :/
