And about how much are they? If I want to pay on a plan, what do I do? Do I need sponsorship in order to do that? |

The resolution sucks. Really just used by people who are trying to compensate for a lack of personality.
No plan. Just buy the phone. Don't need sponsorship, but it's a lot easier with it. |

If you wait about a month or two, the new phones coming out have good resolution. You can buy them at any major telecom store, they are everywhere and should be pricy, but I am thinking about it next spring when the prices will come down. My current camera phone's resolution sucks, but then I don't use it that much anyways. The new phones will also allow you to take films too. |

I just saw about a month ago they came out with some sweet new phones...the resolution is good on them and they have video cams--you can record up to a 19 second message with the moving picture being recorded. It's pretty cool! |

Surely a half-decent digital camera would be much better and much more useful in the long-term than a camera phone? |

I'm about to get to Korea and was wondering if the phones sold over there are compatible with countries like Australia? |

My girlfriend's phone cam can do pretty good photos and movies. If you wish, I could send you an example via e-mail.
Both our phones are able to e-mail the photos to someone. This is kind of cool because we can take the picture, and within 2 minutes, my father in Canada can check his e-mail and see what I'm doing.
On the down side, my girlfriend can call me and say "take a picture of where you are this very instant!" to check up on me.
I could have some pre-saved photos of me in a library or PC bang, but then she could counter with "....and stick your tongue out and close your eyes!". |

Sadly, no, it's a different kind of CDMA system here. |

IS Oz on the CDMA standard? As far as I know, North America, Japan and Korea are on CDMA (although Canada does have GSM as well-"Fido". The rest of the world uses GSM (I think). When I inquired about buying a phone in Canada (for the English display) to use everywhere in the world I was told I would have to get a "tri-band" phone. This would allow me to use the phone anywhere in the world. I would then have to get the phone "unlocked" for a company like KTF, SK, etc. to hook me up to a plan. But then I would be able to use "SIM" cards when I went to countries that are on the GSM standard. |
