Financial Times reports Nokia sees no logic to banning camera phones

An article in the Financial Times today about Sprint PCS' decision to offer a Treo 600 without a camera, as I wrote yesterday, reports that a Nokia official doesn't see the logic in banning camera phones.

The unnamed official is quoted as saying, "Even 25 years ago miniature cameras from Minox and Leica were available. It seems a strange reason to make a phone without a camera."

The Financial Times interviewed Vodafone in the U.K. and reports that the company "was aware that some companies buying handsets for staff were unwilling to supply them with camera phones but it had no evidence of pressure being brought to bear on the operator."
