I agree. My work environment is as free and open as can be imagined, (sysadmin for a wireless broadband ISP - I work from home much of the time, most of the rest is at a tower or our NOC) but there are a variety of situations/locations (list growing) where camera phones are prohibited.
Like many courtrooms. In a recent court hearing with my ex-wife, my camera phone had to be left at the security desk - with a post-it identifying me and dropped in a drawer. (meanwhile my ex breezed right through with hers, since it was 'concealed' in her handbag and the guards never examined it, just x-rayed the bag...) Given the choice of the 'same' device both with and without integrated camera, I'd unhesitatingly select the camera-less model - the few times that I've actually needed the integrated camera and didn't have my 'real' digital cam handy don't outweigh the irritation of being required to surrender my phone in secure (or paranoid) environments. I'd rather deal with not having a camera than be unconnected. j Andreas Kaeser wrote: > Michele Manzato wrote: >> Voting for integrated Camera as well ... > > Well, as much as I would like a camera in my all-in-one gadget, it would > be prohibitive for my every day use: in my working environment anything > capable of picture recording is strictly disallowed.
