When the phone is closed, the time, date, status indicators and announcements about incoming calls and other matters are given on the external screen. On the one hand, the Motorola KRZR K1 looks professional, but on the other, its shiny appearance makes a rather kitsch impression.

Both the traditional photographer and the camera trade, have always turned up their nose at the camera-phone. The PMA 2010 emphasizes mainly the traditional photography, albeit in a digital way. In terms of image quality, the photographer is right, while the camera phone is nowhere near able to come up with the same high quality that puts digital photography ahead of mobile imaging. However, when we consider the possibility of sharing, and the fact that a mobile phone is always at hand, we should not underestimate the impact of mobile imaging. Mobile photography is continuously subject to innovation, and the speed at which these technological advances take place, is at least impressive. Perhaps the PMA International Convention and Trade Show 2010 will adopt mobile imaging as a permanent phenomenon?
