Camera Phone

Ever since I upgraded my AT&T phone last spring I have really enjoyed using the 3.2 megapixel camera on it. I take pictures on vacations, short day trips, and when playing sports or biking. It is a Sony Ericsson a760 red slider phone. I got the last one of this model from a RadioShack store, before they were replaced by a newer model. I had a very basic Sony Ericsson cell phone for almost 5 years, before this one and chose this manufacturer because it worked well for many years. However, my new phone has many more features and generally much upgraded technology than the former one. For example, it has an MP3 walkman button on the side and large speakers for playing music instantly. Also, it features a large screen for internet browsing and a built in GPS. Those are the main reasons I purchased this one, actually got it free with the new 2 year upgrade. However, there are some disappointments that I will briefly mention. Sometimes the SIM card will not pick up the network signal and an "Inactive SIM" error message will reboot the phone. The screen needs to be constantly wiped off because moisture builds up easily and distorts the display. And I noticed that lower right side of the touch pad backlight is not lighted like the rest of the numbers. These are minor issues and don't keep me from getting some good pictures with the camera. Yesterday I took the M2 2GB memory card out and put it in a card reader connected to my computer. Then I copied several months of photos taken with the phone to the right folder in my pictures folder on my Vista desktop. I then renamed some of them and plan to post some to my facebook profile. I just finished renaming all those photos from my camera phone. Here are a few; they have not been adjusted with any software:
