The Nokia N80 camera phone earns the Editor's Choice award from 'PC Magazine'. It comes with a web browser, MP3 player, Microsoft Office document readers, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi capabilities. Its 3-megapixel camera offers high resolution, and its display screen measures 352-by-416 pixels. Compared with other camera phones, the Nokia N80 offers more color gradations and realistic lines. The Best Value award goes to the Motorola E815 camera phone, which is available through Verizon Wireless. It comes with removable memory and video-recording capabilities. The Best Image Quality award goes to the Samsung MM-A800 camera phone, which is available through Sprint. It contains a 2-megapixel CCD camera. In image tests, the camera phone consistently achieved the most attractive and clearest photographs. When selecting a camera phone, consumers should consider two main factors: image quality and the ease of transferring photos from phone to computer. Most camera phones are fixed-focus, rather than autofocus, so it is important to stand at least a few feet away from the photographic subject. The only way possible to transfer images from most low-end camera phones is by sending a picture message to a printing service, picture-sharing website, a friend, or yourself. When using a camera phone to take pictures, one should seriously consider buying some type of removable memory, such as a microSD card or a miniSD card. Most mid-ranged and high-end cameras allow users to transfer their images into their PCs by USB cables. Many also allow direct transfer of images from the camera phone directly into a supported printer.
