Looking for a camera phone? Skip Motorola's E398.

Ahh... my Motorola E398. The phone I so proudly own. It was a phone of firsts for me. It was my first colour phone, my first polyphonic phone and my first camera phone. I loved it when I first got it and well the fact is I still love my phone very much despite it's misgivings, one of which I'm going to talk a little bit of today.

Why am I talking about this now? Well I was in PC Fair today and I noticed a fair bit of people with the same phone as mine. It can be bought for about RM800 now. I paid nearly RM1300 for it when I got it back in November 2004. Anyways, I'm guessing that many people have bought the phone recently so here's a little warning about the hideous camera to those who intend to buy it.

Here are 2 similiar pictures for you to make a comparison. These are pictures of my workplace during a blackout.

Startling difference isn't it? I think I should have bought a Sony Ericsson K700i back then. Just a little public service reminder. Think of it how you will.
