Jeezus... First of all people, it does have a camera! Not a flahy camera with the best specs (no pun intended) but a decent one. If you want a super wow camera, get a C905 or Renoir.
This phone isnt intended for public use (well it is, but not for stupid people if you know what i mean...) It's really for those who want to develop programs or even create a better version of the Android OS. For those of you who are really silly enough to say it's crap are really not all there upstairs...
It's a good phone, not a great phone, not a crap phone. It's good.

It has a camera you can see it in the picture. If you think it doesn't have a camera then you are blind and dumb.

I think this is great news for those who genuinely want to help create new parts of the Android OS, and I'm damn sure I am gonna be one of them.

Someone says no camera, someone else says there is a camera. I see the picture and piece of plastic where camera should be. Looks no camera. Maybe this is just demo?

Dani, 08 Dec 2008It is a great phone, worth every penny! worth buying!Are you serious? You don't even have the phone and you're saying it's great. 1 it's ugly, 2 the software is ugly at the moment too. From a development perspective.. I don't think it's actually worth almost $400 to then spend man hours to make a few sales, as noone has the phone or will buy it (if they have any sense) - at least not until you can put the software on other devices, but, if i had the skills to develop a few things.. yeah, i'd do it. And if i had a phone like HTC Touch HD, i'd actually pay to download Android onto the phone too, but would i even consider buying the G1. Be serious.
