I had a Clie TH55 (until it died) and despite its low res I found myself taking shots all the time. It was so handy to have a handy camera available in a utility device I was carrying for other reasons. I have been thinking the same thing as of late - would be nice to have a reasonable quality camera combined with my phone. The N95 may be a little out of my range, but have been pondering a switch to a Sony/Ericsson K700/800 for that reason. My current LG has a silly little subMP camera, but more importantly my carrier charges for each shot sent to email. As its CDMA without a cable or card, I am tied to that methodology. If you pursue the thought any further will look forward to hearing your experience. I second the comment about MP being somewhat unrelated to usability.

My wife and I have the same 1.whatever megapixels in our phones, hers a Nokia and mine a Sidekick. Her phone takes perfectly good shots, whereas the Sidekick takes passable shots only in full, preferably standing on the sun, sunlight.

Great device all in all and it's great for the random candid shot. Just picked up an n80 which has a 3-megapixel camera in it. Great device all in all and it’s great for the random candid shot.
