SkyNews report about a chef cleaning behind a freezer when he was biten by a spider.
He took a pic of it with his phone and then rushed to hospital as his hand began to swell where they conacted a zoo who identified the spider as a Brazilian Wandering Spider, whose venom is more potent than a Black Widows. This enabled the hospital to apply the appropriate treatment and save his life!
I'm sure there are many stories like this when phone cameras have been used for more than just happy snaps!

@whiz: just think you would now be dead all because you havent got a camera phone (thats the kind of story you should tell your friends/parents/wife so that they buy you one..
)

Why didn't he video shoot it. Thankfully we dont have and poisonous spiders here in INDIA atleast not in Mumbai. No need to worry about cam, but hey wait what if you are having a special moment you cannot text it up and refresh your thoughts by reading it. You need to have a cam in the 1st place and that too with video capabilities must tell dad to get one quick.;-).
