Untouched photo of a golfer on the green of The Australian Golf Club taken with my Nokia 2630 with un-peeled plastic protective lens cover still in place! 1st June 2008
My Sony Ericsson K750i handphone died on me just before my Fiji/Sydney trip and I hurriedly did a quick ‘research’ and bought a basic Nokia 2630 handphone for a very reasonable RM280/- as an ‘interim’ phone as I am lusting waiting on the new 3G Apple iPhone. I already have the wonderful Apple iTouch and I know how great the new iPhone is going to be. Anyway even though the Nokia 2630 is quite a ‘basic’ phone it still sports Bluetooth, fm radio, speaker phone and even web browser. Really. And it is easily the slimmest phone around.
Anyway, I buy it to use it basically as a phone (duh!) so I was not too concerned about the quality of the camera. But I was quite surprised with what I thought was the ‘filter’ effect of the cheap lens that produced this rather attractive effect of the golfer putting while I was dining in comfort (and luxury) at the prestigious Australian Golf Club in Sydney where my sister took me for lunch when I arrived on Sunday, 1st June 2008 from Fiji. This was one of the first few shots I took with the Nokia 2630.
The second time I used it was yesterday morning of the ‘bulging bumper’ car when I did not have my camera handy. The results were less than desirable - and for good reason when upon closer examination of the lens that the protective plastic cover was still there! Smart huh?

I’m not saying that the camera of the Nokia 2630 is exceptional but I’m quite happy with the pictures of the clouds I took this morning with it. But then again I think I can take good photos with even a pinhole camera! *ahem*
