And, of course, I always have a camera with me this way. One important note, just like larger digital cameras, is that there settings in the phone's camera that need to be set. The most notable is resolution. For everyday pic messaging, I select the lowest setting. This way the picture sends and receives quickly. The downside is that the low setting is effectively a cropping tool so I have to often back up from my subject. For a somewhat serious photo. I pick the highest resolution option, email it to my home computer and work it up in PS or whatever else I may need to do. Pretty handy!
