Let us remember, that once upon a time, 3 years or so years
ago, there was an Apple iPhone 3G that took pretty good pictures. It had a
whopping 2 megapixels, no optical zoom, flash or autofocus, and did not support
video recording. In spite of those limitations, my iPhone 3G and I were
constant companions, and when we encountered something where words would be
either too much – or not enough – we took a photo.
Now I’ve upgraded. It was time. In the nearly 3 years we had together, camera phones have leaped dramatically in megapixels alone. The new iPhone 4S has 8 of them, and many other features (including this thing called “video”) that render the 3G sort of the Instamatic of the digital camera world.

But before we say goodbye and have a proper eco-friendly disposal somewhere, I wanted to remember what digital phone photos looked like say circa 2009. Out of hundreds faithfully backed up on my hard drive, I’ve chosen my Top 10.
