What really bugs me is, there seems to be no way to disable the dreadfully slow AF.

Cameras like these with teeny little lens & sensors are never going to anything but a "grab a quick snapshot" type of deal & they don't really need AF at all (& there absolutely should be an option to turn it off if you want). With the tiny sensor, the depth of field on these things is HUGE (just the opposite of say a D-SLR with a wide open F stop setting) so most everything is going to be in focus in any given pic anyway.

My wife's at least two year old Samsung flip phone (that she bought new for $19) takes as good pics as 99% of the ones I see posted here & ANYBODY can pick up that phone & snap off a decent pic. My 8 year old daughter has taken some great shots with that old phone, it has no AF & responds almost instantly to the shutter.

By the way, I was messing with an Omnia a few days ago. That camera is a real slowpoke too.......
