@Jedi, dude, the fuss comment wasn't targeted at you m8.   
Just that reading this thread, genarally it seems that most people here are excited that the Sofia will have a 5mp cam. I'm just wondering aloud why almost no one here seems to care that originally the rumours said it would have optical zoom and now it won't have it.
But you know what? Come to think about it, its just a phone, not the end of the world... Whatever will be, will be.

When you mention optical zoom, do you mean a fixed optical zoom like that of the Sharp? Where it's a 3x optical zoom, or did you mean one of those movable lenses to zoom? |

Even a fixed one would be better than none at all...

Megapixelles isn't evrything, I'd rather they improove the quality of the 3.2mp cam first, then next add optical zoom, then only jump to 5mp. Its ironic that you guys are saying that optical zoom is a gimmick when you're all making a big fuss about sofia having 5mp... I was rather dissapointed when rumours popped up that Sofia won't have optical zoom.
you're right, and this will be addressed |

T-Mobile UK are aiming for around 7MB/s before the end of the year, which would be amazing.
we already have nationwide 14mbps HSDPA in australia. i can't see any SE HSDPA phones this year supporting it though.

If it's a fixed one, I wouldn't want one. I take lots of pictures of me and my girlfriend by stretching out my arm. If it were a fixed one.... =\\... you get the idea. |

I think for the places where you can afford to stand still under the reception tower to achieve 14mbps, they're already covered by WiFi, which is usually free if not a lot cheaper than vodaffone |

what you can do for 14mbps on your cellphone, download movies?
it doesn't make any sense.

Download movies, songs, files from your PC (using orb), watch recording content, send large recordings from your mobile instead of measely MMS. etc

Optical zoom is not a must. The N93 has this feature yet its results in imaging still falter when compared to the K800. |

A good optical zoom would be a good feature on any camera-phone. The Video zoom on my W900i used to get used a lot so I think any improvements are welcome.
The Sharp 902 had optical zoom years ago, it has surprised me that it has been the only notable mobile OEM to include this until recently.
With Sony Ericsson branding some devices 'Cyber-shot' you would expect optical zoom to appear before too long - lets hope it does.

i hope with sofia this year,the mpx war ends...hope they don't go higher mpx.Instead,it would be better if they focused on better sensors and optical zoom(well,zoom will be the future-someone will make it available across many models and competitors will have to stand up).
Nokia doesn't have a digicam business..so they will launch full fledged digicam phones and SE will have to face this competition even though it may hurt the business of Sony digicam.

My sentiments exactly. The should now go for quality not quantity.

Sharp's optical zoom was a fixed 3x zoom which ended up taking pictures more zoomed in compared to other camera phones...
The result? To take a large group photograph, users of that Sharp mobile phone has to move further back to get the entire group compared to other phones without optical zoom. |

I see. So it was either 1x or 3x and nothing in between.
