I just got a nifty Sony Ericsson S710a cellphone. Its notable feature is that it's got a great little camera for a mobile phone: a 1.3 megapixel CCD plus a strong LED for light. The picture quality isn't half bad. It's not print quality by any means but for a phone it's not bad. The camera does make the phone quite big for a cellphone. It's not not horribly large even though it's definitely gordo in comparison to the Moto RAZR.
Now that I have it I've got a great reason to start using the Flickr account I set up a while back. It turns out to be quite easy to post the pictures from a mobile phone to Flickr. They provide an email interface that takes email attachments sent to it and adds them to your Flickr account. With this feature, it becomes dirt simple to take pictures with your phone and have them posted to Flickr. They'll even tag all your pictures uploaded this way with a set of tags for you. I've chosen one tag: moblog. They also have a feature where they'll also post the pictures to your blog but I haven't decided to hook that up yet. I'd rather have a small number of thumbnails across the top of the blog than a post per picture.
