Re: Pink camera??

.....I just got back from visiting the Verizon dealer in another town to compare cameras. They were indeed a hell of a lot nicer and did not do everything they could to disprove what I was seeing.

THIS IS WEIRD!!!

The store had an Omnia display model that also had the same pink glow...HOWEVER, when I started walking around looking I found that most other phones - regardless of brand - also had a pink look to them. Some were worse than others but most were distinctly visible.

Weirder still, the techs saw it and were stumped as to why nobody noticed this effect before - especially since it was on so many phones! Perhaps I radiate a strong electromagnetic field that messes with camera CCDs.

Either way, I'm guessing the CCDs come from very few suppliers and are doled out to the various mobile device companies en mass. There is likely nothing I can do to fix this - even if I get a different brand of phone. It's odd though because my Dare does NOT have this issue.
