- DaffyDuck, on 05/02/2008, -1/+199"iPhone is now the most popular camera phone on Flickr"
There, fixed it for you. - seldon452, on 05/02/2008, -5/+64What does 3G have to do with this phone taking pictures?
Edit: Uh, its just the most popular on flicker. Your headline is deliberately misleading. - namelessXsilent, on 05/02/2008, -0/+48Yea.. Title is misleading
- MyExSucks, on 05/02/2008, -0/+25I believe it is caused by the great depression, but it's hard to tell with no scale on the graph.
- evilelf2407, on 05/02/2008, -4/+29That's because everyone that has an iphone is constantly looking for a reason to pull it out of their pocket so others can see.
- devilsagain, on 05/02/2008, -3/+24This whole article is stupid.
- joeydoo, on 05/02/2008, -6/+24Exactly. What kind of tit would make that statement from just looking at flickr.
All phones have camera's on. The iphone is definitely not the most popular phone... therefore it's not the most popular camera phone at all. Buried as inaccurate. - SitPoMk, on 05/02/2008, -0/+12What's with the big ass drop somewhere in the middle of the graph?
- dirtyhipster, on 05/02/2008, -11/+23Since when does most popular = best?
The iphone's camera is ***** compared too most modern phones - DaffyDuck, on 05/02/2008, -0/+12Haha, a Rick Roll. That's hilarious.
- sonicularulus, on 05/02/2008, -2/+12I would say that the iPhone could have a better camera. It's very low megapixel. Lens will easily scratch. And the lack of a physical button to take pictures is kind of annoying. I also find that the "digital button" on the bottom/side of the screen makes it more difficult to take a picture with one hand.
How would I fix this?
I have no idea. I'm only the consumer, not the designer. I think it's Apple's job to listen to the customer to make a better next gen product. - mirunit, on 05/02/2008, -3/+12I guess, a 5MP Nokia will still destroy the image quality. On top of that the N82 has a xenon flash and all 5MP's have autofocus and 30FPS 480i Video recording.

About these graphs
These graphs show the number of Flickr members who have uploaded at least one photo or video with a particular camera on a given day over the last year.
The graphs are "normalized", which is a fancy way of saying that they automatically correct for the fact that more people join Flickr each day: the graph moving up or down indicates a change in the camera's popularity relative to all other cameras used by Flickr members.
The graphs are only accurate to the extent that we can automatically detect the camera used to take the photo or shoot the video (about 2/3rds of the time). That is not usually possible with cameraphones, therefore they are under-represented. - nreynolds, on 05/02/2008, -9/+18A majority of your photos are *****. : http://www.*****.com/
EDIT: That was kinda mean, but that's what you get for such a jerkwad comment. - Auzy, on 05/02/2008, -2/+11Maybe this has something to do with the fact a lot of your creative crowd use Apple anything..
Buried, the title is wrong. And flickr is targeted towards the creative crowd, so the results will be skewed towards the iphone. - KurtangleTN, on 05/02/2008, -2/+10When did anyone say best?
- hadak, on 05/02/2008, -5/+12I want a damn N95!
- Philbert, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8Me too. Actually you can only really see the smudges when the phone is turned off (assuming it's normal fingerprint smudges)
- murrowman, on 05/02/2008, -3/+10Buried as inaccurate. Misleading title. Title of original article is "iPhone is the most popular cameraphone on Flickr" (note the mention of Flickr).
- ShinyDemon, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8Don't worry about it, Popular != Good
- mmacpherson2, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8I personally like the touchscreen interface. That's just my opinion... The screen is easy enough to clean off.
- XenoSNK, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8I just got a new phone... nice to see it's at the bottom of the chart.
- wellyuk, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8The number of megapixels only really matters when you're printing out images. Higher megapixel != better quality.
- athenius22, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6Mmmm... ass drops.
http://xkcd.com/37/ - ibic, on 05/02/2008, -1/+7I quite like my iphone, but its camera is quite lousy compared to others.
- Ganja420, on 05/02/2008, -1/+7nice misleading article
- MikeSD34, on 05/02/2008, -3/+9I'm not saying that the iPhone is the most popular, but you're arguments against it aren't great. The title of the article IS inaccurate in that this data relates only to flickr.
1.) A phone is an individual device. If you want to take two nokia models and lump them together and say the BRAND is more popular go for it. That doesn't mean that a single Nokia phone is more popular then any other single phone from any other company however.
2.) Why would you count the number of photos? This is a user base statistic not a who can upload the most statistic. Just because you upload more then any other person doesn't mean your phone is more popular. - skunkman62, on 05/02/2008, -1/+6Original Headlines:"iPhone is the most popular cameraphone on Flickr" nice truncation of the facts submitter
- ashrocky, on 05/02/2008, -3/+8i will go for Nokia N95 8gig all the way there's no comparison PERIOD....

I hate iPhone, - SinisterBunni, on 05/02/2008, -0/+5Hey jackass, other "insider" articles have said the 3G iPhone would be $200-250... http://www.iphonefreak.com/2008/04/att-3g-iphone-f ...
- deiphobus, on 05/02/2008, -2/+7It's the most popular because it's the only model available. Sony Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung have tons of cameraphones, hence the numbers are probably not as high. But when start counting by brand (meaning all SE cameraphones, all Nokia camerphones, all Samsung cameraphones), then the iPhone is like a little insect trying to wiggle its way into the cameraphone world.
- DeathJux, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4If you've JailBroken your iPhone, there's a great camera-replacement app called Snapture. It turns the volume up/down buttons into shutter buttons, as well as letting you do a bunch of other stuff that isn't built-in.
- ShinyDemon, on 05/02/2008, -13/+17No, no, you're doing it all wrong. Apple makes something, and then regardless of its missing features, piss-poor quality, and high price, you give them money for it. Then you wait a year and either buy a new one or open it up because the battery is crap.
- ShinyDemon, on 05/02/2008, -5/+9"5 Megapixel phones from Nokia and Sony are no match for the growing popularity of the iPhone....and this is before 3G!"
So what you're saying is that the vast majority of the users prefer the inferior product? - avalys, on 05/02/2008, -7/+11Yes, but most modern phones have ***** interfaces that make them unpleasant and inconvenient to use.
- LetitDrop, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4I don't think anyone got it for the camera.
- iofthestorm, on 05/02/2008, -1/+5There should also be a "buried for sucking Steve Jobs' dick" button.
- lharrod, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4If popular equaled good, then Windows would be the greatest OS ever ever.
- Firehed, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3Um, what? If I had one thing that I would want improved on my iPhone, it's the camera. Maybe with better software it could be improved a bit, but the crappy sensor and lens can't be fixed in software.
That said, I've used the camera maybe five times in, what, ten months now? If you're outdoors on a sunny day it can take half-decent shots since there's enough light, but any other situation yields out of focus and motion-blurred junk. That along with the photo app are fairly useless (the photo app would be better if iTunes would let me sync stuff from Lightroom, but that's wishful thinking. - wellyuk, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3Actually, I'd disagree. The quality of the images from the iPhone's camera in decent light is excellent. What sucks about it is it's performance in low light and the functionality is very limited. But if you take a photo outdoors in good light, it produces some of the best images I've seen from a phone camera.
- meghalc, on 05/02/2008, -3/+6How the ***** anything Apple or Iphone ends up on the front page? Seriously! I think Rose might be doing some bumping...
- ibis, on 05/02/2008, -1/+4I guess the obvious response to this is that the iphone compares in numbers to a single nokia model, yet nokia makes dozens of different phones. How do total apple phone numbers compare to total nokia phone numbers, or even just nokia smartphone numbers?
- heystoopid, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3With 1.15 billion mobile phones sold last year would wide , please tell me again just how many of these again were branded with the Apple logo !
Oh I thought so , far too small to get above even the one percent marker point !
Me thinks the submitter is giving you a very bad dose of this man on Youtube
link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU - LinuxGalore, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3The iPhone has no flash, in Japan the lack of flash on a camera phone is a big PHAIL!!. Second iPhone sales are very small (less than 4%) compared to Nokia sales (over 43%) so I cant see the logic in saying the iPhone is a popular camera phone.
- Chordinator, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3Yeah and back then the iPhone was a piece of crap, or so my great grandfather once told us.
- Lou3000, on 05/02/2008, -3/+5I love iPhone haters.
- monseur, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2graph's broke
- aptmunich, on 05/02/2008, -2/+4My iPhone takes worse 2MP pictures than my old Sony Ericsson K750i.
But the ability to snap a pic and blog, twitter or add it to Flickr on the go is much easier - so for me image quality is not necessarily the most important aspect of the phone. - lharrod, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2You would smirk, then immediately ask, "Hey, can I check that out?"
