The Sony Ericsson w810 is a really great phone. It was a 2MP camera, which is pretty dang good for a camera phone. So a common thing to do with a camera phone is to take pictures of people to be displayed when they call you. With this phone, even when you go into the pick a picture for a person setting, then hit from camera, it still takes a 2MP photo.

This wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but guess what? When come one calls, the little itty bitty CPU inside the camera has to resize the image to fit on the little tiny display. Little itty bitty CPU’s can’t resize relatively huge 2MP image in under two seconds. So when some one calls, you have to wait two seconds while the camera is frozen as it resized the image. Fantastic design.
