Sony Ericsson has very good camera's in their phone but this will cost indeed a lot in the range (production number) of Neo. I've noticed that I'd use the camera a lot for making notes of advertisements and posters in the city. Also in some countries, like Japan, the square barcode is used a lot for advertisements and discounts. For this, and for OCR with subsequent language translation (especially CJK) a future model with camera would be appreciated.
