Hello All,

Read this interesting article which talks of how
the magnitude of the problem where people make
new contracts (and avail price discounts ) 
for mobiles with digital cameras and cancel them 
as using the camera is the main motive for them

(Japanese only)

With the next generation of higher mega pixel phones 
and optical zooms and stuff like that thr problem is
sure to get more pronounced. Ideally the carriers 
provide initial discuonts to make up in the later 
usage of the mobile phone... 

There is also some talk of addressing the problem 
by disabling the camera if the contract is cancelled..
Yiikes...
