Motorola V710
Any plans to fix the cam?
Hey everyone,
Been lurking here for a few months, reading up on the 710. Got mine a few days ago, the phone has been oustanding in all regards, except for the fuzzy, grainy, over-gained camera.
I know it is a phone first and a camera, like, 5th, but it burns me that every other cam looks so much better at half the price.
Can Moto fix it with new software? Has anyone heard anything about this?
It seems to me that the cam just wasn't programmed to use any sort of shutter speed, that it does one physical exposure (exposing the CCD to light, well, really reading the CCD for a certain amount of time) and you can either darken it or brighten it with some nasty looking gain.
So why would they hype the megapixel camera so much and...

The audiovox is a great phone. It has excellent RF, although not as good as the v710s. I sold my v710 for a 9900 and am very happy.. The cdm9900 also has one of the best cameras ever put on a phone, quality wise.. especailly in low-light conditions.
Theoretcally, the v710s camera quality *could* become better with a firmware update, but how much I don't know, but it would be limited to the cameras natural potential. I also dont think verizon or moto would bother making the cam quality better, although Moto did with the v620 transtioon for the vXXX series. Same cameras, different firmware, different quality pics..
