The IT Nerd

So how well does the camera on this smartphone work? Below is a sample picture that I took from the balcony of my condo (click the picture to see it in full resolution):

The results aren’t bad considering it’s 5 megapixels.

Now for the video capabilities of the camera. I took two 720P videos. One in low light and one in daylight. First the low light video (go to full screen and choose 720P):

Now the daylight video (go to full screen and choose 720P):

The quality seems decent and while this won’t replace your camcorder, it will do in a pinch for any video you might want to shoot.

One other thing that I should touch on is the actual phone capabilities. The audio was kind of average and at times lacked some volume and clarity. My BlackBerry is much better in this department. I also tried to have a speakerphone conversation in my car and found it difficult to hear what was being said. I would lay the blame at the feet of the speaker that’s on the back of the phone. Again, my BlackBerry wins in this department.

One thing that I didn’t test is the built in FM radio. It’s a nice touch to have on a phone just in case you want to listen to some news or some tunes that you don’t have in MP3 format.

I’ll wrap this review up tomorrow with my closing thoughts.
