Guest Disco Stu Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Wasn't it a Panasonic on Vodafone ? I remember seeing a guy at a club in Birmingham swapping video messages with his mate at another club. A crowd formed round this amazing new phenomenon. I've tried it since and its rubbish ! I don't really know but found myself taking a picture at a footie match recently. Leeds seemed to be certain to score from a corner (or free kick ?) and as I'd just finished texting someone I chose to capture the goal on my phone rather than actually watch the action properly. I got a fantastic picture of David Healy volleying the ball into the back of the net but I didn't really see the goal as it happened. As a result I don't have a proper memory of the incident and that can't be right :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 i think you right, although i cant remember exactly. my friend had one and we all wanted a go on it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fluffcat1 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Nokia 7650 was *my* first integrated camera phone, and I think the first one in Europe? Summer 2002? And it was a bit poor. And big. And clunky to use. Still have it somewhere.... Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jay3gsm Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Thought the Nokia 7650 was the first camera phone in the UK? Quality phone, although with about 4MB on board memory it struggled a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madeye Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I may be wrong but I think it was a Sharp phone that was the first to integrate a camera! It was on Vodaphone tho. I remember as I almost bought it but got the Panasonic GD87 which was also around the same time, and also on Vodaphone! The worst thing was you couldn't disable the shutter sound, no naughty photos allowed... not without permission anyway! :) At least that was the first I remember seeing in the UK! I'm sure Japan, and probably USA had them before us... again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jay3gsm Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 ' date='Feb 7 2006, 16:40' post='277']Yeah, I never owned a 7650, but did quite fancy getting one at the time. I quite like the slider-form factor... RIP the Nokia 7110... :) P You should check out the N80 when it releases. (Due shortly) Same slide form factor as the 7650, but smaller and packed with the latest features for mobile phone. It is going to rule the Symbian smartphone landscape.

Guest hillclimber66 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 They weren't the first but I always appreciated the Sagem camera phones such as myX-6 and than myX-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pd.ryder Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've done a quick google and wikipedia but no hits for "first ever camera phone" popping up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fluffcat1 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've done a quick google and wikipedia but no hits for "first ever camera phone" popping up :) Googling 'first european camera phone' gave http://technology.guardian.co.uk/online/st...,727639,00.html as a hit. Thurs June 6th 2002 "Nokia's 7650 is Europe's first camera-phone, but there are high hopes for its success. Similar devices have already taken about a third of the Japanese market, where more than a dozen camera-phones are available. " Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest loki_f Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 That's a tough one... I know the first with an attachable camera was the T68 and the CommuniCan from Ericsson. As for the first with an integrated camera (Which I don't think was release in Europe): Sharp J-SH04 The first European camera phone would be the: Nokia 7650 I think the camera phone in the UK was a clamshell by sharp but couldn't name it...

Guest confucious Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 That's a tough one... I know the first with an attachable camera was the T68 and the CommuniCan from Ericsson. I had one of these - it was truly awful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sporkguy Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I had one of these - it was truly awful :) lol - my mate had one as well. I remember us messing about on a dance mat at his house, and him trying to take a photo, "STAND STILL GUYS!" Even when we stood still, in his perfectly lit lounge, it looked horrendous. He MMS'd it to my 7210 (which had an attachable camera available) and the quality was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yeah, I had a T68 attachable camera. Was gutted when T68i (think it was) came out, with a nicer colour and the first Sony Ericsson branding, just after i'd got my T68! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest confucious Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I prefered the look of the T68 and with the T68i s/ware it wasn't a bad little phone. The guy sitting next to me at work still uses his (mind you, he is Italian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Funster Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 The original T68 ruled. I got mine sim free on the day of release and at the time the 256 colour screen was way cool. I sold it on to my flatmate a year or so later and I always regretted that. Over New Year we met up in Paris and on the table was my phone, he'd given it to his girlfriend. I then proceeded to bore everyone on how great it was, just like I'm doing now :) Happy days Funster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markdotpeters5 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 7650, at least in the UK, as I recall. Great phone for it's time. Especially when the video recording software came out! I'm getting an N80 in the next few days Paul, so I can review it for you if you want. cheers M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dr who Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Check your firmware version siksik - the original one is apparently EXTREMELY buggy. There are methods for flashing it yourself at home springing up all over the net. Not that I would endorse using a hacked ROM, do it at your own risk, yada yada yada.
