Does anyone use a camera-phone for legitimate purposes? The reason I ask is because according to the commercials of companies that sell phones with camera-capabilities, their only good use is for ridiculous situations.
One has a woman taking a picture of a man who spills his hamburger, sending it to her girl friend and saying 'Here's a picture of your boyfriend.' (Ha.)
Another has the afore-blogged Bugs Bunny taking a picture of a "naked" Daffy Duck. (Yes, that would be useful.)
Then there are the ads where a man takes a picture of a motorcycle and the person he sends it to finds themselves surrounded by burly motorcycle riders or a woman takes a picture of a rodeo and the women she sends it to are surrounded by rodeo animals. (What can I even say about that?)
And there's the guy who takes pictures of items in the street to represent what's for dinner that night. (What will he take a picture of when he's making chimichangas?)
Seriously, if you gave me a single reason why a camera phone would be useful, I might consider ponying up the extra money to add that functionality. Perhaps taking pictures of people who talk on their cell phones in movie theatres...?
