That just proves my point. That looks like something taken by my first ever digital camera. Colors and exposure are crap and it is nowhere near the image quality of even a ultracompact $150 camera. That is why I would carry a second device if I needed to take pictures. Camera phones are excellent for capturing that unexpected moment. I use mine all the time. It is very convenient when I am at work and I am rebuilding a rack and want a reference shot of how things were wired up before I took them apart. I still would never consider it a replacement for either my ultracompact or DSLR. It is a different tool for a different job.
edit: also, "Not Sexy". Too big. Same reason I didn't like the iPhone -- thin isn't everything if it is that wide. I am not much of an iPhone fan because I need something more capable of multitasking, typing, email, etc. but it fit well into the market. It appeals to the casual user that wants something fun and flashy in their pocket and has lots of fun apps. This looks enough like the iPhone that it will inevitably be compared yet I don't think this will appeal anywhere near as much to that audience. It's like the touch-only Blackberry. Blackberry excels at email and typing-centric uses as well as the usual basic browsing and gps stuff. To take away the main point of a Blackberry and compete as another touch-only device was a mistake.
