Casual Survey #2: Camera or Camera Phone?
So my digital camera broke during camp - not the "broke" from last fall that just proved to be an inconvenience while the camera still worked. No, this time it's flat out non-functional and dead. I've been using my Sony Ericsson w810i camera phone in its stead, but at 2 megapixels and limited lighting abilities, this is not a long-term solution.
Question is: do I buy a new camera, OR, do I get one of my Aussie teammates to bring me a sweet little 5 megapixel camera phone? (note: link is to a hypothetical phone, i would be open to other suggested devices that are a. sporting a decent camera and b. cool)
Advantages to the Camera Phone option:
-only need to carry 1 personal device (right now I carry personal phone, work phone, and broken camera)
-it's cool
Advantages to the Camera option:
-dedicated camera is bound to have slightly better functionality?
-I will have the same camera as Shaz
-it's probably cheaper
Help! (And for your amusement, here's last year's somewhat similar scenario).

p.s. I heart Enrique Iglesias.
This is a tough question and one that I struggle with myself! I like the thought of only having to carry one thing BUT I also like having options! Humm...when you come up with an answer, do tell!
The Nokia N96 is pretty impressive, but it is not available anywhere until Q3. In the meantime you can get the N95, but it costs over $500. The N96 will cost more. I would recommend keeping your old phone and buying a separate camera.
Camera! All the way!
camera for sure!
The N95 Nokia sucks, the battery life is terrible especially if you start using the camera.
My vote is for a nice digital and leave the phone at home. so you only have to carry one thing.
