I have found only one excellent application for a camera phone. When installing Windows, one would be useful for photographing the license sticker, which is often inaccessible & ill-lit in the back of the server cabinet. I can then go back to my desk, enter the key using remote desktop or the network KVM, activate & validate the installation. This is much more convenient than sticking my head in & out of a confined space & entering the key 5 digits at a time standing up at the sever rack. Unfortunately, my last phone's camera is inadequate for this, too. It has some kind of flash (or perhaps just a white LED for illumination?) but it is too poor to actually take photos in such dim light. However, a camera has been confirmed for GTA03 and - since cameras are so common on mobile devices - I don't see Openmoko removing this feature without mentioning it. So a thread asking for its addition or removal is really a bit redundant at this stage.
