    Anon, 14 Sep 2011Well, I never said anything about brands in the first place... more"But since iPhones are so ridiculously expensive, I don's see why they couldn't have the best cameras. Oh wait... "

    Oh well, because the good phone is overall well balanced device.

    Look N8 and all what they do is put very good camera and leave everything else out like having better resolution screen, better cpu, more memory etc. N8 wasn't balanced device at all and that's why it was flop. People clearly didn't want CAMERA with phone, they still want PHONE with camera. You cant make hit phone by putting one very good part inside it and evertything else way behind competition.

    You can't put N8 camera parts inside iPhone 4, it's too thin!

    When you make smartphone you need to make compromises and apple clearly has been best about that if you look sells and customer satisfactions :)

    "These cameras are only (most likely) expensive to make. There will be more of these in the future."

    No they are too big for nowdays very thin phones! Maybe in future you can get better camera parts in smaller size. I'v seen some news about much smaller camera parts so maybe someday!

      These cameras are only (most likely) expensive to make. There will be more of these in the future.

      But since iPhones are so ridiculously expensive, I don's see why they couldn't have the best cameras. Oh wait... :D

        [deleted post]read my post AGAIN!, i ALREADY said that Nokia and sonyericsson does the best photos, it's not about mpix, its optics and lenses etc what nokia and sonyericsson uses. Those brands has always had best phone cameras. By the way if rumours are true iPhone 5 might get same camera optics what xperia arc uses (Exmor R)

        If you havent noticed that sonyericsson all new phones has "only" 8mpix so is nokia phones (except N8)

        So why they don't use that 12mpix in their every phone? Because good optics with such a big mpix need much more space from the phone. if you want good optics 12mpix phone it has to be thick like N8 or satio ot anyelse GOOD 12mpix phone.

            Seriously, I buy iPhone because it suits my needs the best. Now that I have bought an iPhone, do I need to waste my time in the Android sections listing out every Android weakness I can think of? Waste of time.

            iPhone will have weaknesses, and will not be for everyone. Why? Because humans by nature, are different. Even the Samsung Galaxy S2, which has the most impressive feature list, isn't for everyone. It's not pink, screen too big, I want it covered in gold etc, but for people who the phone fits, it is brilliant.

            No one actually commanded us to do battle with users of different brands. Kinda sad don't you think? Sit down, take a chill pill, and enjoy your tech. On top of that, respect everyone else's right to enjoy their tech.

                  Please buy an Android phone.

                  Never have I seen such agony in waiting for an iPhone to be an Android device. Very strange comment. Lol. May I recommend the Samsung Galaxy S2?

                  And 'meh' is used to describe indifference, which clearly isn't the case with you.

                            Anon, 14 Sep 2011meh, whatever imho the iPhone _COULD_ be an interesting ... more"4.) have better cameras (ffs Apple, it's one of the most expensive phones and it doesn't even have 8mpix!!!)"

                            What a stupid comment, every photographer knows that more mpix doesn't make better quality pics, optics and lens etc. makes. When iPhone 4 came it has one of the best cameras after nokia and sonyericsson. Htc with their crappy 8mpix camera left far behind, also galaxy s camera wasn't good as iPhone 4.

                            Have you ever thinked why everyone doesn't use 12mpix cameras on their phone now? because more mpix make better pics right?

                            "But they could do better. If they really were making high-end products, they'd put 12 megapixels."

                            That proves it, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about :)

                            Marketing people has brainwashed you very well like many others!

                              Ahem, on further note, I guess the 5 might get an 8mpix camera.

                              But they could do better. If they really were making high-end products, they'd put 12 megapixels.

                              Oh, heh, and if the iPhone 5 is also going to have 5mpix just like 4 then I'm gonna lawl my ass off

                                meh, whatever

                                imho the iPhone _COULD_ be an interesting device for me if it would:
                                1.) NOT COST DOUBLE AS MUCH AS IT'S ACTUALLY WORTH
                                2.) be able to install Android OS (or something else that is not iOS) on it easily
                                3.) work as a mass storage device so I can put my files directly on it, without the need of using iTunes or whatever
                                4.) have better cameras (ffs Apple, it's one of the most expensive phones and it doesn't even have 8mpix!!!)
                                5.) storage expansion with hot swappable memory cards (seriously, even my 6 years old SE can do it)

                                But I know that's not gonna happen.

                                So y'all can sweat over the iPhone 5, I sure as hell know I won't.
