- K500 had one of the best VGA cameras at its time same with K700 which was the first mass market product to feature an LED flash, even the megapixel packed nokia 7610 couldn't match its colors, detail wise the 7610 camera is like an interpolated Nokia 6600's
@goldenface:
Casio exilim phones still put emphasis on Dual front design
it may be 3mp less than S007's camera but the design can really turn some heads (I know i overused this term )
I think these are the two reasons why dual front design isn't that popular nowadays
1 - iPhone style is the trend (simple but elegant design) - sadly it rendered manufacturers to fire their best (and highly paid) designers and settle with those that can do the job at the very least This also appllies to Sony/ IMHO
2 - Phones are too tall/wide that giving it a digicam like back design would only make it look overgrown. think about the P990's design and we can notice that the phone's back may not be really resembling a digicam at all just as how W800/S700 do. I would go for a phone with a smaller screen (as long as its bearable), smaller dimensions and quality camera with a digicam look and feel than a phone with an oversized and pixel-dense display anytime
