some of you probably heard of this report, but I think its appropriate to
remember it given the current topic

although there's no reference to the panasonic or sharp phones, the 3G lab
published last year a report about user interfaces in camera phones, by
comparing the sonyericsson T68i and the Nokia 7650

what is interesting in this report is the fact that on the first impression,
test subjects preferred the T68i. but after completing a series of tasks
they quickly switched their interest to the 7650.

"The test involved both male and female subjects, aged between 22 and 34,
with a mix of educational levels and a mix of occupations. The independent
test was centred on first-time, 'out-of-the-box' use and focused on the
camera capability of the phones. At the time of testing, the Nokia 7650 and
Sony-Ericsson T68i were the only commercially available camera-enabled
mobile phones in the UK."
