Revision history [back]

Using the concept of "Other Half", in a future device would be nice to have the camera detachable in a way to get a device without camera (like first phones with cameras e.g. Siemens S55 / Ericsson T68i).

This would be useful for people working in restricted areas where no cameras are allowed (e.g. many companies in product development) to use their phone without camera in business and with camera in private time.

Additionally this will provide the possibility to upgrade or provide several camera modules (webcamera, 3d-camera, optical-zoom-camera, thermographic camera, night-vision, ...).

Don't know the market for this kind of phones, but actually there is nearly no smartphone without camera available. (I use a rare model of Blackberry Bold without camera).
