GadgetryBlog found a new cellphone in the UK, the JVC e228, that has a feature I find difficult to understand:
It has two digital cameras, one in the front and one in the back. My phone has a digital camera but I've only used it a couple of times and only then for the "new toy" factor.
If I want to take a photo I will use a digital camera that produces a nice photo, not a cellphone that produces a photo as bad as my Casio QV-11 did 5+ years ago.

The phone is from a company called 3, and it is a 3G phone which allows you to make video calls to other 3 users, hence the "two cameras" the one on the same side as the display is used to capture the video which is transmitted, the other is for standard photos.
