It's never going to replace my Canon powershot but it's a lot more than just a gimmick. The number of times and places I've managed to take pics I never normally would have has led to some great photos.

I appreciate not everyone would want a camera in their phone but they don't take up that much space, look at the SE T610

Same here. I almost never took photos before digital. Film was just too expensive and too much of a hassle. My first digital camera changed that dramatically, but of course I don't carry it all the time.

Now my photo-taking habits have changed again with camera phones. Now I take new types of photos that I never would have taken before.

But I also now don't bother to take my digicam with me in situations where I would have before. My camera phone actually has started to replace my digicam. Not for everything, of course, but definitely for some things. For example, I was apartment-hunting recently, and I found my camera phone was perfect for taking photos of apartments to help me remember what each one looked like. I didn't need great quality, and only needed them for a short while and to look at on my computer or share on the web.

Of course it helped that it was a VGA-resolution camera phone that takes decent pics (Nokia 3650). The CIF-resolution cameras aren't nearly as useful.

Very nice... although like I mentioned in another thread I still like the non-clamshell phone designs a little better. I also agree with whoever it was that said they would rather have more battery life in exchange for not having a camera. Battery life is a big deal to me with Smartphones, as you aren't going to get near as long with them as most normal cell phones. I'm certainly willing to make the tradeoff for features I need, but a camera is not one of those.
