I think it was like this:
T68i (didn't have built in, but add-on camera) T68i was also the first Sony Ericsson phone that appeared, after Sony and Ericsson made a deal, Announced 2002, April
P800 0.3 MP (VGA, 640x480 pixels); first SE phone with built in camera Announced 2002, September
T610 0.1 MP (CIF, 352 x 288 pixels); Announced 2003, 2Q
T630 0.1 MP (CIF, 352 x 288 pixels); Announced 2003, 4Q
K700 0.3 MP (VGA, 640x480 pixels) video, led flash; Announced 2004, March
S700 1.3 MP (1280x960 pixels) video, led flash; the first and only SE with CCD sensor; Announced 2004, March
S710 1.3 MP (1280x960 pixels) video, led flash; the first and only SE with CCD sensor; Announced 2004, March
F500i 0.3 MP (VGA, 640x480 pixels) video; Vodafone Announced 2004,2Q
K500 0.3 MP (VGA, 640x480 pixels) video; Announced 2004, 3Q
K508 0.3 MP (VGA, 640x480 pixels) video; Announced 2004, 3Q
K750 2.0 MP (1632x1224 pixels) autofocus, video, led flash; Announced 2005, 1Q
K800 3.15 MP (2048x1536 pixels) autofocus, video(QCIF), xenon flash; secondary video call camera; Announced 2006, February
K790 3.15 MP (2048x1536 pixels) autofocus, video(QCIF), xenon flash; secondary video call camera; Announced in 2006, February
K550 2.0 MP (1632x1224 pixels) autofocus, video(QCIF), led flash; Announced 2007, February
K810 3.15 MP (2048x1536 pixels) autofocus, video(QCIF), xenon flash; secondary video call camera; Announced 2007, February
K818 3.15 MP (2048x1536 pixels) autofocus, video(QCIF), xenon flash; secondary video call camera; Announced 2007, February
K850 5 MP (2592х1944 pixels) autofocus, video(QVGA@30fps), xenon flash and 3LED video light; auto lens cover, secondary videocall camera; Announced 2007, June
K858 5 MP (2592х1944 pixels) autofocus, video(QVGA@30fps), xenon flash and 3LED video light; auto lens cover, secondary videocall camera; Announced 2007, June
K770 3.15 MP (2048x1536 pixels) autofocus, video, LED flash, secondary VGA videocall camera; Announced 2007, August
Of course, this is only if we're talking about camera-centric phones, because most of these phones had their opponents with almost the same camera, for example
K700, had K300, K310, Z500 and every other SE VGA phone
S700 & S710, had V800, K600, V600, K510 W550, and every other SE 1.3 MP phone, although S700 was the only one to have CCD sensor
Then in the Walkman era, almost every camera-centric phone had it's opponent with the same quality in the beginning, but later worse without AF, flash, with smaller lenses...
K750, had D750, W800, W810, W900, & P990 which had the same quality and weren't camera-centric, and many other like W850, K610....every other SE 2 MP, which had worse quality.
K800, K790, K810, K818, had P1 with slightly worse quality, W960 almost the same quality, W890 with worse quality, without AF, flash
K770, has T650, which is practically the same phone, without camera cover and with different housing, which can be swapped.
K850, still doesn't have any opponent, it's still the only SE 5 MP phone
For me these are the best Sony Ericsson camera phones:
K770, T650, P1 & W960 can squeeze in too, because they have a decent 3 MP cameras too!

I thought T630/T637 was the first "dual front"  phone?
No, the K700 was the first camera phone for which SE used the term "dual fronts".
The term refers to the use of camera styling cues, and the K700 was the first SE camera phone where the camera part actually looked like a camera and not just a phone with a camera in it.
I'd also include the K610, as it was marketed as a camera phone, even though it's not AF.

SaLiH afaik T630 has VGA resolution, not CIF 
I wont call K850 the best 5mp camera but the SO905iCS because of a more decent Sensor and optical zoom

A long time ago (shows my age since I had it then)
Ericsson was working on the concept of a "cameraphone" (supposedly with Canon) The end result was this:
and this
These worked on the  T39, R520, and T68 (prior to it becoming the T68i) as well as the midrange T65.
On the T39 and R520, it took colored pics, but the phone would only display a grayscale (B&W) preview of it, but a full-color photo could be sent via MMS, email or beamed to a PC. (Although only the T68 could receive a colored MMS at the time)
The MCA-10 was repackaged by as the MCA-25 & 30 I believe, to carry the SonyEricsson name (no logo was developed at the time yet)

No, T630 was only 100K sensor (exact same hardware as T610, only difference was the screen).

What about the T300/T310? They were basically just a t68i without bluetooth. I had a T300 with the camera attachment bundled. | |
