First US Camera/Phone
Ch_Omega writes "According to this article over at Infosync, Sprint has announced that the Sanyo 5300, the first US phone with a built-in camera, will be available on their PCS Vision network in mid-November. It's still only 640x480, but unlike Nokia and Sony Ericsson's models, it will have a built-in optional flash as well. The official press release from Sprint is here."
So what does it do? Take pictures of your ear?

ok, now that you've mastered the japanese kitch phone, please develop something useful. no one wants grainy porn photos made from your cell phone.
Now I guess the 1-900 sex lines will have to actually hire real women... and good looking ones at that! :)
Insert offensive troll-style sig here. Please mod or respond appropriately.

"Yeah, this movie is pretty fantabulous, hey...hold on a sec, I wanna show you the assclown behind me that keeps tell me to "hush".
Can you see me now? ...
Good!
I would like a regular GPS enabled phone. I don't really care for a camera in a phone mostly because I don't see the need for it. Now, if my phone had a GPS, then I wouldn't have to put up with my wife nagging me about stopping for directions when I am driving
At last I'll be able to prove to my friends that I saw Siegfried and Roy at the Quickie-Mart!!!
I saw CNN demo of that unit, it was getting 2-4 FPS, was in !Craptacular! (copyright, 2002 you may use the word Craptacular only by giving me a $0.25 licensing fee for each time you read/or use it. That will be 50 cents please!) 256 color over a slow-as-ass (again copyright 2002, same as above but only a 10 cent fee) analog conntection. This product is what I call Craptastic-ware (again copyright 2002, sorry this one has a $10 viewing and $5 re-use fee).
You bill is 10+5+.50+.10= $15.60
Based on the number of people that will read this say: 5000 that means I make a cool $78000

Overheard:
"No, honey, I said put the phone up to YOUR _EAR_!."

What exactly does that mean. It sounds like an oxymoron to me. Jumbo Shrimp, Big little, I don't see how it could be built in & optional.
from strip clubs will never be the same.

Item #12043: CellCam Background Stand
This background stand holds any of our 214 standard backgrounds, emulating scenes from a lonely hotel room to a custom poster-sized picture of your living room. Includes popular scrips like:
"No honey, I'm really in the French hotel room, that's just a strip show on TV that you hear"
and:
"I'm in my living room; why did you think I was in an hourly motel room?"
Right. No, your other right. No, the other other right.
"... I'm at the Episode III premier check it out!"
Driving down the road late at night, I accidentally took a picture with the flash and ended up in an a four car pile up. Any lawyers wanna ramp up for these lawsuits? Woo hoo... can't wait. Now there's a new way to flash passing cars.
If my phone could play .wav files, I would make all my friends record themselves saying something like "hey, it's Chris, pick up the phone!" I think that would be cool.

Now I can 'goatse' the soccer mom in the big SUV up in front of me who's not paying attention. All this high tech and somebody somewhere will surely waste it on digital mooning.
Well, seeing as nothing seems to make those drafting the Iraq attack plan any wiser, I'd say it's at least worth a shot...
