    I'm patiently waiting for my M1330 to arrive.

    In the meantime can someone post some pics taken with their webcam?

    Is that the 2.0MP cam or the 0.3 one? Doesn't look 2.0 to me.

    Wow. Ummm. I heard that the quality is pretty good, but that looks like GTA on uber-high settings =/

    I can vouch that the m1330's camera is definitely better than the sony sz's camera.

    I am referring to the 640x480 version in the LED screen.

    It's a 0.3MP one with the LED backlit display. Theoretically, it can only take 640x480 resolution photos, but somehow (I presume digital upscaling) it can also take 1280x1024 pictures. I've attached one I took at 1280x1024, as well as then resizing it down to 640x480.

    While not terribly clear (...), color reproduction is very accurate, which is impressive for such a small sensor.
