Interesting reading up about the history, nice thread. A few suggestions though, adding dates to each event would give it more detail and would make it more like a timeline. Also I disagree with the comments on the K850i, I think it actually had a pretty darn good camera! That's your view, but it would read better if the comments were more objective, just an idea.

Nice tread!
On a side note, is it just me who wants a 3, 4 or 5 megapixel cameraphone with a large sensor, perfect image quality at base ISO and better high ISO capabilities (for example - useable ISO 500) and, say 2 fps burst shooting mode. That would be awesome - I don't think there's a need for so many megapixels because the more you have of them, the worse the picture quality and higher ISO is.

The average consumer seems to believe that high number of mpix = better picture quality I would love a larger sensor too

More MP does not mean better images no. And as for getting a good photo you can get a decent shot from an average camera it all depends who is behind the lens

Just putting this out there but the Xperia arc did win the award for best photos in Europe, and although the iPhone takes pretty good shots it uses the same sensor as the arc, and came out almost a year after it, so the arc was the first phone with a Exmor r sensor and actually the low light capabilities on the iPhone is advertised as else all together. Yes I know the arc compresses photos to shit, but the shots still come out amazing and I don't notice them on my 42" tv...

tbh if true, I doubt it was done intentionally. Could have something to do with the rumour of supply shortages for the 8MP sensor component, In that they had to use a lower quality part to compensate? But your average Joe wont even pick up on the difference between the two, they're both marketed as the same camera and both take great shots its only if you go to the effort to compare the two together, which I'm guessing most people wouldn't..
