What do you do to escape the throws of holiday boredom? I'm marooned at my parents' house for the jolly season while they themselves are out visiting other relatives. And goddamnit, I am bored out of my mind.
One thing I've been trying to do to alleviate my present condition is hunt around for pictures taken from one of the camera phones I want, the Samsung VGA 1000, also known as the A620. Googling around turns up a lot of garbage.
However, one great resource I've found is Textamerica.com. It is a site that hosts "moblogs" or mobile photo-blogs. These are sites where people post uninteresting pictures of themselves or their pets—usually not the kind of sites I dig around at. However, these moblogs go from useless to quite useful when the author designates what type of camera-phone he or she took the pictures with. Then, they become sample image galleries for phone shoppers, like myself.
So here are some moblogs with sample images from the SPH-A620. They were found using the site: operator at google, like this search string.
As Google turns up...
One thing that is immediately obvious is there are a lot more 8100 moblogs than A620 moblogs. However, I'm not sure how long each phone has been available, so it may be that the 8100 is simply newer, or perhaps it is less expensive. Anyway, dig around in these links to find all kinds of real-life example photos.
