[AAWP] The Top 20 Phone Camera Innovations of All Time

It was tempting to put 'in the last decade' in the title, but in fact we've only had cameras in our phone for ten years, amazingly enough, starting with the Nokia 7650 back in 2002... Nokia features heavily in the top 20, as you might expect, the company has been somewhat trail blazing in imaging, as acknowledged even by Nokia haters, but watch out for the iPhone, plus an HTC and several Sony (Ericsson) models, too. Enjoy this camera tech-heavy trip down memory lane....

Nokia is in like all 20. Sadly Samsung does not care at all. I know most of their phones cameras as not the best.

I am wondering if their WP8 devices will advance this tech in any way.

isnt this sad? nokia actually spent their time in R/D yet, they lost much of their market now? sigh* thanks to all the useless hype of "i-this and i-that" anything "i-" is godlike. but really, what did apple invented? - the shape that they so claim its theirs, the finger gesture/swipe movement to unlock? and last but not least, they invented how to abuse the crap out of the patent system. thumb.gif

nokia failed because they don't care much about the UI, they only focused on the hardware and features.

I had the K790i and having a 3.2MP camera with xenon flash and autofocus in 2006 rocked.

It was also the most durable phone i've ever owned.

unfortunately it was just a phone and with all the smartphones that were coming out, i jumped ship to other companies. (K850i was only a minor upgrade, and Xperia X1's software sucked and it was pricey)
