Story: Camera phone clampdown demanded
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 18 November 2004, 4:02 PM)
As an administrator of around 250 mobile telephones, we have a few customers who will just about allow a mobile to be taken on their site. If the user had a camera phone, they would have to be left at security and then be uncontactable in those cases.
As it is, the reliability of the latest mobiles has deteriorated to about two thirds that of the earlier models, (e.g., Nokia 7110 around 1200 days mtbf to 6210 1000 days and then 6310 800 days). With the advent of these multi functional devices, I am concerned at their reliability, plus the extra support necessary for them with the software for synchronisation and graphics requirements. This far outweighs the basic functionality required as a basic business tool for communications.
I accept that the extra functionality can be extremely useful, but a camera is possibly more of a gimmick to generate revenue for the carriers rather than a useful business tool in a normal sales environment.
