Charlie,

A "dumb" phone works fine, too, if it has a camera. They are usually in the range of at least 3 megapixels, which should be plenty for a pic with good resolution. The secret to a crisp shot is to steady the phone somehow, and to use good lighting and proper color balance. My 4-year-old phone does OK if I steady the shot. It keeps on working, so I am glad because I don't need, so far, to "upgrade" myself into an extra $40 per month, which is necessary to support the smarties' functions. Sadly, I've heard that at some point, lesser capable phones won't be supported by any of the carriers. Until then, I hope my old LG (flips open sideways, not slides, to present a miniature real keyboard) hangs in there, as any current replacement tends to be rather cheesy.
