I received this phone about 2 months ago and am very pleased with its photo capabilities. The 3.2 mp photos it produces, both indoors and outside, are good enough in most instances for printing as well as emailing. I've found it very convenient to have the capability to take reasonably good pictures available in combination with my phone. I carry the phone in a soft plastic case used for reading glasses and it fits perfectly and protects the phone from scratches. While it is longer than my old LG clamshell, it is thinner and therefore more comfortable to carry around in my pocket. The included USB cable makes downloading photos very quick and easy. The only thing I dislike about the phone is that the lens cover does not lock in place and seems to work its way to the open position frequently. While this causes the phone to go into "picture taking mode" temporarily, it quickly goes back into sleep mode while in its case and does not exhaust the battery. As it is protected in its case I don't really have any concerns about damage to the lens, however, it would be nice if the lens cover locked a little more securely.
