While I'm sure I've developed a fair share of muscle just from picking the bag up, there have been times I have considered attempting to 'mod' my advantage with a higher-end CMOS and carry it alone. I tested out a 5MP Samsung out in winter, and was unimpressed with the results. It seems although high-end cameraphones have the sensors for higher-resolution images, they lack the image-processing capabilities of even entry level point-and-shoot cameras with half the resolution. That being said, my P990i camera was all I needed for a very long time, and it was surprisingly good for the time. Since I've made the move to Windows Mobile completely, I only know of their versions, but I know that there is software out there that can seriously enhance the images you get from a cameraphone, and odds are there are Symbian versions for them too. You may want to look into them to see if you get better results, even though it still won't match a DSLR.

Until the 3G iPhone arrives I have been back using the N95 8GB, another excellent cameraphone. I look forward to comparing the two!
