Camphone
To be honest with you, I don't really need a camera phone. I just want a small enough phone for sending and receiving sms, occasional voice calls, calculator, alarm clock, and of course has an intuitive user interface that won't annoy me. For me, camphones don't output photos at good enough quality for anything but wallpaper on the phone itself.
So I got a new ericsson phone for a relatively cheap price of P8,000 (a nice chunk off my savings). It has this 3G thing, a 2MP camera, and some oodles. Also an mp3 player that my brother just used to listen to classical music for his name-that-tune exam in school.
I discovered there's some fun with having a camera phone. Taking pictures of interesting things you encounter in your day to day lives, namely:

A big-ass woman butt-hogging the post in a jam-packed MRT. Don't you hate these people?

I got my Canon ixus camera back. At last! PAid a hefty 5k to the blasted Canon Service Center.
I also got a new phone now. Finally got fed up with the almost 4-year old XDA!
