Non smart-phone cellphone that has a good camera

Post by da66en »

My wife wants a phone with a good camera. But she nor I want a smartphone. We are on Sprint. Is there anything? Did they make anything good? I'm fine with getting a used one off of eBay, but just wanted to know what was good that was made.

the big thing that sucks with a good camera and no web/apps is how are you going to get the pictures off?

Samsung Impression. TKExplorer Compatible!

Not sure what the newest incarnation is called though.

Touchscreen and Keyboard, your choice. :D

Note the date at the link. Almost two years and my Samsung Impression is still solid, holds a good charge on the Original Battery and has a really great feature:

NO DRM GAMES! I can use TKExplorer!

I remember trying to get photos off of my old "dumb" cell phone. It was ridiculous and they looked like shit.

You should save yourself the money and headache and just buy a decent compact camera.

I would go with a phone that is marketed as a Messaging Phone. Those phones ruled the market for a short time before the mainstream Smart Phones we see today (Kinda like netbooks before tablets took over the world).

Taking a quick look at Sprints site (using a New York City zip code) you have:

-LG Rumor Touch @ 2.0 MP (mega pixel camera)
-Samsung Trender @ 1.3 MP
-Kyocera Brio @ 1.3 MP
-Sanyo Innuendo @3.2 MP

The reason why those messaging phones is because, from past experiences from having two of that type, its pretty easy to get pics out of them, usually from a memory card slot.

My Samsung Seek has a (although it didn't come with :/) a microSD card. My gf's Samsung Reclaim has one too, and that came with one.

Btw, these are both Sprint phones, and not too terrible ones at that.
