Nokia Camera's Down the Years

We have graciously given Daddy permission to write a post on our blog. So we take absolutely NO responsibility for the quality, accuracy or interest level in this blog post.

These days having a camera on your phone is pretty much a basic requirement, however many years ago (some of you might not remember) through the mists of time, it was a pretty cool and new thing to have. So I thought I would take you back to that time, 2002 saw the release of the Nokia 7650 sporting a VGA camera. VGA I here you say, yes VGA! A whopping 640x480 resolution camera. Not exactly mind blowing by today's standards but it was damn cool back then. Unfortunately my 7650 would not oblige me with an image, so I had to turn to my 3650 which was released later the same year and incidentally, was the first Nokia cameraphone to go to the US market. So for those of you that remember here is a blast from the past, for those of you that do not, well this is what we oldies had to put up with. So if you feel like complaining about your cameraphone just look what we used to put up with!! Oh and by the way the early cameraphones did not have flash of any kind, yes thats right NO flash, no LED, no Xenon, nothing.

So here is a trip down memory lane for those that remember!
