You'll be better off with a low-end phone and a separate, high-end point-and-shoot camera...


Highs: 8.1 MP camera; speedy Web access and full email access; external access and controls for camera and music; stereo speakers

Lows: Expensive; disappointing photos; anachronistic Ericsson connecting jack; below-average talk time

Introduction

The evolution of the cell-phone camera takes yet another leap forward with the Sony Ericsson W995a. Along with a Walkman-branded digital music player, the W995a includes an 8.1 MP camera, the highest resolution camera yet available on a phone. But the W995a is an unlocked phone, which means its $600 price tag goes unsubsidized by a carrier. From a price point-of-view, would you be better off buying a subsidized $99 phone, and standalone point-and-shoot high-megapixel digital camera?
