Charlie from Nokia Conversations tells us Nokia still has more to say about inbuilt Cameras.

I have been an avid user of camera phones since the launch of the Nokia 7650. And I am currently using the Nokia N86 8MP.

The first
The Nokia 7650 was chock-full of firsts for Nokia: it was the first S60 phone, the first with a camera, and the first with MMS. It was also way ahead of its time, a slick slider with an amazing screen. The Economist put it on its cover as the Monolith from “2001″, saying it was the future of computing.At the 7650 launch, Nokia was showcasing both the camera and MMS by sending three art students into Barcelona, where the launch was taking place, to take pictures of the city and send them back via MMS to the show floor, where the photos were displayed on a large screen almost immediately. In this day and age, it might be hard to imagine the wonder of all this back then.
