Verizon Launches First 3.2 Megapixel Camera Phone
Nice, VZW PWNS technology
Yeah, I really, really hope this does light a fire! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
This phone's biggest improvement in camera phone technology is the fact that it sports an autofocus lens. A REAL lens. Something that might actually make that 3 megapixel camera useful.
But even so, more megapixels can only display what the lens transfers and a pinhole lens just isn't a good lens (generally speaking). Some will be better than others, but even a poor autofocus/optical zoom lens will usually produce better pictures than a really stellar pinhole lens.
I'm quite pleasantly surprised with the quality from a Nokia E70 I have at the moment. It's not auto-focus and the quality is not bad. It's two megapixels, and the extra megapixel does make a difference.
...yet the quality doesn't hold a candle to the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800, which is also two megapixel, but auto-focus. That takes amazing photos. I can print them up to 6x9 and they look great; you can't tell they came from a phone.
It all depends on the phone, though. The Samsung A800 was also two megapixel with auto-focus, but it took crappy photos, IMHO.
I use my A800 for printing pictures and they look quite good?

My quick tests with an A800 have turned out pretty terrible. It was in worse lighting conditions, (indoors,) but nothing too dark. They came out much worse than other phones in the same setting.
I have to disagree.
