Cellular Phone With Camera — Get Ready To Smile

Combine a mobile telephone with a digital camera and you get a cellular phone with camera functionality. With a touch of a button you can take digital pictures or video clips, and send them on to friends and family.

If you’re thinking of buying a cellular phone with digital camera built-in, take a minute to jot down some of the features that are most important to you. Some of the things that will make your cameras pictures come out better are a flash or movie light, a digital zoom and picture editing software. If you plan on taking a lot of cellular pictures at one time, look for a cell phone with extra memory like the LG VX7000—capable of storing up to 200 digital pictures!

Shutterbugs who want to print their snapshots should look for a cellular camera phone with 1.2 megapixel resolution or higher. If you’re just planning on sharing the cell pictures with other digital phones or viewing them on a computer then a VGA camera is perfectly fine.

When it comes time to share your pictures, carriers like Cingular or T-Mobile give you a number of options. You can use multimedia messaging technology to send digital snapshots to other MMS-capable phones. Or you can send the cellular pictures to an e-mail address. T-Mobile and other carriers let you post your cell pictures on the Internet.

There are several ways that you can transfer your cell pictures from your mobile phone to a computer. The most direct way is with a USB data cable. Cell phones with an infrared (IR) port can make a wireless connection with compatible devices like some laptop computers and PDAs. Some newer camera phones are equipped with Bluetooth technology. These can make a wireless connection to compatible devices.

With marvelous new technology and prices dropping all the time, cellular camera phones are catching on all across the country, from places like Herndon, Virginia all the way to Edmonds, Washington and Taylorsville, Utah.
