2.0MP Standard
I thought this was 2007 and 2.0MP would be the standard in mid-range camera phones? Yet we're are still seing a slew of 1.3MP weakness. I understand VGA on a basic phone, but almost all mid-range phones come with expansion ports making it possible to print out your pics sans fee. Yet only the uber-phones are rocking 2.0MP and olde AT&Tingular is rocking some 5.0MP's at a reasonable price. I love the network, but less and less people realize network stability and base their decision on phone features. Sad, I know but true.

you can print a nice pic with a 1.3mp cam. You won't get a 8x10 but you can print a 5x7 and smaller. Most people don't use the full mp capabilities their camera offers now anyway.

I agree.
On my 1.3 MP camera the picture quality is limited by the optics, not the sampling. Having more pixels wouldn't do squat for improving picture quality.

There is one area where 2.0 MP would be nice... for zoom shots.
Many camera phones use digital, not optical, zoom these days. Which means you can't be at full res and zoom in, you have to knock down the res first. âšī¸
To zoom in on a 1.3 MP cam, you have to knock down the res to 640x480, which isn't a lotta pixels, frankly.
With a 2.0 MP cam, you'd have zoom at 800x600... still not great, but better.

I disagree. After using my SE K790a I've come to realize that I take better pics with my phone than with my Cannon 3.2MP camera.
Oh well, it must be the power of SE's CyberShot camera phones... đ
