> Are you locked into the Ericsson camera?

It was more a "can I use these cameras" thought than a definite
application - but I do have applications. I thought it would be nice to be
able to use it as they are readily available locally 2nd hand at a moderate
price and there is a reasonable chance that they would be adaptable to
microcontroller control. These were amongst the 1st wave of cellphone
cameras about 2 years ago AFAIK. They clip onto the bottom of various Sony
Ericsson phones and have 640 x 480 resolution (although I am as yet unsure
of the sensor resolution).

My old cellphone recently expired. I ensure that my cellphone is always
"trailing edge" technology - I object in principle (and in practice ;-) ) at
staying up with the latest gee gaws at early innovator prices. I have just
bought a used T68i (not yet received) at about 25% of equivalent new phone
price. It has GPRS * (which was the main purchasing factor), Bluetooth &
colour screen, all the usual stuff and one of these cameras.

* GPRS allows exhorbitant but bearably priced web access and the phone can
act as a GSM/GPRS internet modem for a laptop
