Camera schmamera. Plenty of people don't use the VGA crapcam's most MOTO's come with.
The thing that upsets me, and what makes this phone NOTHING like the original StarTac, is the stupid silver accent color.
What made the StarTac a colossal success was its stealth factor. I was a young IT consultant in Motorola's hey day and the standard outfit (for myself and the vast majority of my colleagues) was a pair of black pants and a dark merino wool sweater, often also black. The StarTac's ingenious belt holster, when positioned just behind your hip, camoflaged the duo into virtual invisibility. Coupled with vibrate mode, the phone was nearly undetectable. You had the convenience of a belt clip without the nerd factor. At some point during its reign, a newer holster was released that allowed you to rotate the phone 90 degrees, completely concealing it along your belt.
With all the shiny colors, LEDs, and other goofy crap affixed to the outside of cell phones, the stealth factor has all but been lost. The PEBL is the closest to recapture it so far but unfortunately I don't know of a similarly low-profile belt clip.
