While I am happy with S2 for Skype and normal calls it's camera is rather
poor. Although it is 3.2Mp, as is my other mobile, SE K810i, there is no
comparison in the picture quality (as I found on taking comparative pictures
on my recent holidays)

I think that you'll find that the SE cameras are exceptional -
streets ahead of anything else. My old K800i is much better than a
brand new 5Mpx Nokia e72.
