When I first heard of cell phones with a integrated camera I thought the
idea was just about the worst idea of all time. When I saw the pictures
take with a cell phone then I was sure that a camera cell phone was the
worst idea.

Then I finally found the *perfect* use for a camera phone no matter how
bad the picture quality is...

When you park in a large ramp with many many many levels it is often
hard to remember exactly what level/area where you parked. Just use the
phone cam to take a pic of the sign that states what level and space
your parked in.

There you go...the perfect use for a camera cell phone.
