Hello,
I've been very agressive with the 6630 in a previous post because of the complete lack of support of Mac OS X (i'm a Mac fan) and some aspects/design flaws that anoyed me a lot.
But after 3 weeks with it, I completely under its charm as a crative tool (i'm photographer).
All pics here have been shot with the 6630 :

Enjoy it. I think mobile phones are the future big multimedia devices

They are really good photos - but i dont think you should have had your phone on - and taking photos - whilst the plane was still in the air!
6630 has flight mode 😉

That is really cool. I bet that if you are caught using it tho - that the air steward/ess would still take some convincing! :redface:
Also what was the "owned" thing by faizalmzain about?
Aloha !
As a semi-professional fotographer, I do not share the enthousiasm of most people when it comes to the photo part.
I think it is a complete waste of research-money when they put the camera in at the Nokia plant.
They'd better have made the screen a bit bigger for better reading or the keys a bit bigger... Why does everything has to be small anyway ? "Bigger is Better !"
The photo's suck for various reasons :
- not very light densitive
- out of focus at close range (no macro)
- very little coloration
- no adjustable white balance
- zooming is digital, not optical
- very slow in actaully makeing a pict
-etc etc
In short, buy a Canon EOS or Powershot or Minolta or whatever....

Wow... its always nice to meet fellow photographers.... 😉
I have been looking and suggesting everywhere that we set up a Mobile Photography gallery.... where the photographs that u have taken with ur cell phone! 😊
But not alot of people were interested!
It would also be nice if Nokia or a 3rd party software developer comes out with a program, that allows us to manually control the Shutter Speed (the aperature is already set i think at 3.2), as well as other settings as well! Dont you think?
There are some really nice photos there. I'm completely useless when it comes to photos from my phone. I think people need to bear in mind that yes it is a limited camera but as the blog above shows you can still get some great results.. The N90 announced recently should take this a step further too.
You should check out lifeblog (http://www.nokia.com/lifeblog/) too as I imagine it might be your sort of thing.

Jeez! It's a mobile phone and camera is just an extra. And you can't expand the size of the display, because symbian phones have the default size of the display.
Personally i think the pictures are great. Mobile phone camera arent 100% accurate(save for N90) but i can use 6630 pictures for my work. Its good enough after all! 😊

I perfectly agree with your statements.. but not with the conclusion.
A phone like 6630 is NOT a camera, it is (my opinion) or more precisely it can be, used as a creative tool.
A Polaroid SX70 as exactly the same list of flaws you noted for the camera phones, people made great, really great images with a Polaroid SX70.
If you look at a phone as a digital camera, in most case you'll end in the conlusion that a digital camera would be a better choice.
if you look at it as another familly of creative tool then they have a real interest.
Mots of the pictures I have posted in my little gallery I would have even not made them because at this time I had not my cameras handy (I use a Nikon D70).
And even if I had my Nikon, they would not have been better, they would have been different... and that's my point.
And by the way as a former professional photographer (now I made a living managing a magazine about photography I no more make a living selling pictures) most of the comments you made about camera phones (that again are perfectly true), can be made to about the whole digital photography if you compare it to..let's say large format film cameras 😊
And by the way I like very much the little blue color bias of the 6630 camera
