Hi Monza,
Do it!!, It's a great gadget. Don't expect to get hi definition pics, but it is good enough for close range (1-3 meters) shots, some panoramics and any daylight picture you can think of.

Hi Monza!

I got mine a couple of days ago, and I have to agree with navy77. Don't expect razor-sharp pictures, and the camera definitively needs a lot of light (sun-/daylight outdoors preferably) to get acceptable pictures. No built-in flash as you probably know.

The really cool thing about the MCA-10 is that it is a digital camera that attaches to your phone, and you are immediately able to send picures to anyone, anywhere by mail.

I had some trouble connecting reliably to my ISP using regular (GSM) phone settings, but with GPRS it worked as a dream (and those settings are not documented in the "manual").

The pictures are about 20k in size.

To sum it up: A bit expensive, but cool. Will be more fun and useful with the next T68 firmware release with MMS capability.
