Time magazine reviews Sprint PCS' new 1.3 megapixel camera phone and concludes the image quality is "okay." Wilson Rothman writes in Time, "They did not blow my mind, but when printed out, there's a visible difference between these and some earlier camera-phone shots.
"Outdoor photos came out best. On occasion, though, things were distorted and some colors just didn't come out right. It pays to study the camera settings, and keep your hand steady even after you think you've taken the picture."
Rothman concludes, "Regardless of this phone's performance, the results are definitely inspiring. We're on the way to one day having a phone/camera combination that really works.
"Here's a suggestion to speed up the process: Canon could start making phones."
Disappointing image quality
As I've noted before, the PM-8920 produces disappointing photos that are sometimes worse than images from VGA camera phones. I don't think the PM-8920's images would "inspire" anyone -- except, perhaps, to inspire other camera phone manufacturers to create handsets that produce better quality photos.
Rothman says the PM-8920's screen resolution isn't very good (I agree) and he wishes there were a way to transfer photos to a computer, such as via Bluetooth or a memory card, besides having to use Sprint's network (I definitely agree). He also says sending a photo is "a swift and error free process" (I agree).
Rothman also likes the LED flash that "really means the difference between a closeup turning out crisp or murky." I agree. The flash isn't powerful but when you're close to an object, the light does indeed increase the brightness.
I VERY LOVE NOKIA 7610 BECAUSE IT VERY TREND AND VERY PERFECT. I COME FROM THAILAND
