    However, I'm wondering who'd actually buy it for those features rather than just take a digital camera with them.

    Its not buy a camera, its get video features added in at no extra cost. Video camera phone attachments are selling quite well. People like having the option of sending pictures/movies of friends/family. Take a feature upgrade people are buying, make it a standard on the phone. This will reduce the cost and make it normal feature on phones.

    Look at how people will buy new cell phones just for the ringtones. Features sell.
