Does anybody use Universal's Camera??

I am considering buying a Universal and one concern is that the camera is only 1.3 mp....many reviews have said that 1.3 mp cameras are poor at best ....worthless use of space at worst...
Can any of you Universal users comment on your use of camera?? Can you get good pics from it ....or is it truly a waste of space?
thanks
on the fence...

The camera is not that great but this might be of assistance, have not tried it personally as I have a good digital camera

It's not the best camera I've used but if you have a stable hand then it can work pretty well.
This is from K750:

}
All of these are from Universal:

I am not too impressed with the camera either, but then again, it's my first camera on a phone and I am used to digital camera quality. I use it for taking snapshots, and I use a good digital camera for photo's. That's the way it should be.
It just comes in handy when I'm on the road or whatever, because I always carry the phone with me, whereas I do not have a digital camera with me all the time.
I think it's just handy and the quality doesn't matter all that much for it's purpose.

look for more photos made by the universal here: http://www.newmobile.nl/eur/en/photos.php?phone_id=12bb134
you can also find photos on that site taken with other phones for comparing..

thanks everyone

HOLY CRAP! those are definitely not iphones
too bad we can't see the front of it
but yes it does resembles a heck of a lot to SGS i9000
i'll not be surprised, since they are sponsored by Tmobile see jackets

ENHANCE!!!

right, look at the camera and headphone jack

also the USB slot
and the back speaker (it has a different shade than the rest of the phone)
it's definitely the Tmobile SGS

guy on the left probably saying something in german along the lines - "this xxxking GPS, what a joke", it thought i was in ......"

hahah thats def Galaxy S baby!!!!

The camera lens frame seems a bit rectangular instead of the squarish format of the SGS.
But it might be some aspect ratio distortion on the photo. They might be using the mighty Samsung indeed... especially since no GPS is needed there so a unit without one would still completely satisfy.

"Guy on the left" is Franck Ribéry, one of the best fotball players alive. His German is not all that fluent (coming from France), but may be enough to talk about GPS.

Watch Video and post review

Hello all ,
Go to Youtube and watch DTS : The Speaker Orchestra
Watch it in HD
LINK : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBvm4FZF8L4
Compare it with playing in your laptops or desktops or other smart phones...
You'l see how awful this pixel crush is in Note....!!
PS: Please post your review here after watching the video

Yup. Looks like where there is black background there are huge pixels. I don't know how it's possible.

I watched it in opera mobile browser, bit of black crush.

That video looks sweet on my note really shows off the screen :-D

It's there for only a fraction of a second... If I watch the exact same section where the so called crush is on my pc monitor I see the same artifacts. It's just compression that messes with that particular section. Apart from that fraction of a second the rest of the clip just shows what a gorgeous screen the Note has.
I took a screenshot on my pc and lowered the mid levels in Photoshop by just a little to show exactly what is wrong with the movieclip and not with the phone... All this whining about crush is getting ridiculous if you're just blindly blaming the Note. This is just lousy compression and has absolutely nothing to do with the Note itself.
The proof:

This shot is taken from the 1080p version and the artifacts are there at the exact same frames in all screen modes.
My review: calibrate your laptop or desktop monitor if you can't see these artifacts on it, your contrast/brightness settings are off.

amazing

Google Glass, in GIF form

I put together some GIFs for Glass. Why? Because I think GIFs are very useful for showing something simple, without the commitment that a video requires. So, here goes. Google Glass gifs.

Some more are over on my blog (we're talking like, 15mb of GIFs here. :S): http://okaysass.com/posts/14-03-21-google-glass-in-gif-form
These were recorded with LICEcap on my computer, using Glass Remote to pull in the stream.
Cheers!

GIFS are useful! Props to you for using these instead of posting a lengthy video. Concise and to the point! Thanks!
