Imo, the camera is the single best non-phone feature of a smartphone....ok...maybe it's tied with the Internet. I love having a camera with me wherever I am. I would never just carry a camera for its own sake.

It's hard to carry a camera wherever you go. I have a pretty great Cannon Rebel EOS T2i and it takes a lot of photos... at my house or at big planned trips like the Zoo or birthday parties but it's rarely available to capture serendipities whims.

That's why I love the fact that camera phones keep getting so much better!

Yeah, they're pretty remarkable. My wife has a 3gs and the difference in quality between my iPhone 4 and her phone is substantial.

Yeah I have a 4 and my gf has a 4s and the difference there is large as well. It's cool that whatever iPhone I get next will be an awesome point and shoot camera.

I'm ready, this one is on it's last legs. So there was a distinguishable difference between the 4 and 4s? Hmmm... should I still just wait it out for the next incarnation? I think so. But damn I'm ready for a new one.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the next one as well. The 4s has an outstanding camera though, no doubt.

That's the whole problem for me. I love apps and cameras and all that, but absolutely hate that I would be connected to the internet wherever I go.

Hmm. I'd say just get the voice plan without the data plan, but I think that the carriers make you get a data plan with a smartphone nowadays...

Yep. They do. Or maybe I should just stop whining, be disciplined, and bite the inevitable bullet :)

Well, if you're looking for someone to talk you out of a new piece of Internet connected technology, I'm not that guy :)
