Photos from EK taken from the RAZR V3X
Mobile phones in the market have long advanced from plainly being able to receive and make calls to having multimedia capabilities giving even the most technologically challenged the capacity to take pictures and make short movies out of their otherwise mundane daily observations. We now have 3G and, believe you me, the experience of making and receiving video calls could make you feel like you have just been teleported to some futuristic world that a year ago may seem to only exist in scifi movies.
Having come from being dependent to the almost infinite capabilities of a PDA phone and downgrading to a plain handheld phone could also have its perks. My phone prior to the RAZR-V3X has been the O2 XDA2. I missed browsing in HTML, being able to sing karaoke anytime and anywhere, watching videos of virtually any format in "wide-screen," and having a host of other applications available at the click of a download button. My new phone, however, has video-call capabilities, a 2 Megapixel camera for better image capture, a more than modest multimedia player that delivers better audio output, mp3 ringer tone capability that enabled me to assign music alerts to key persons in my phonebook requiring minimal memory space, plus its hell-smaller-than-the-XDA2 discreet size does not scream "steal me, please!"
To share just one of the V3X's great features, below are some images I took recently at Enchanted Kingdom. They may not be SLR-quality photographs but they are also way above the common mobile-phone image captured pics you would see being spread around via MMS or internet upload. Beats having to bring along a separate camera when you are out enjoying a spontaneously decided road trip with friends.
Rides featured are the Wheel of Fate, Grand Carousel, Bump N' Splash (taken while on the Wheel of Fate), and the Space Shuttle. Click on the smaller ferries wheel photos for a larger view.

Do not let the quality of these photos persuade you on buying a V3X if you are planning on getting one on this basis alone. It may just be that I am a very talented image composer and you may be shell shocked that you could not, for the life of you, get your phone to function as well as mine. There are, after all, things that money can't buy.

They look like they were taken by a DSLR :)
Aw, shucks! You're just become one of my best friends! When seen small, they look like something else. In their original sizes, at 1200 x 1600 pixels, they're a chore to look at, believe me.
Nice pics - almost as good as the pics that I take. Hehehe. Kidding. It seems like a pretty nifty phone. are there external halogen flash attachments for the RAZR? That's the edge that I've always given to SE and their MX-60 versatile attachment.
Taking good pics with whatever you have is a skill we just have to live with. Hahaha! The V3X has an external light, like a flashlight, that you may opt to turn on when taking pictures in the dark. It won't do you good, though, if your subject is quite far from the cam. Plus, the cam has B&W, sepia, negative presets. You may also set the image capture depending on your lighting condition (automatic, sunny, cloudy, indoor-home, indoor-office, and night). Exposure could be set along 5 ranges (-/+ 2 from 0). Quite cool, actually.
wow! those came out pretty well! to think theyr just from a phone.
Daw ang sa mga As-Seen-On-TV nga mga paaman nga sagad sal-ut para lang may airtime ba! Nyahahahaha! Peace! Read my post before this. I have a line there exclusively for you. In time for December.
Perfect ang shots mo. may artistic level pang kasama. and saka alam ko cloud nine ka na naman kse nasabihan kitang perfect!
Hindi ko naman intention na maging ganun sila ka-perfect! Siguro ganun nalang ang rule, do not give your 100% para flawless. A 21st century paradox. Do not tire of appreciating high quality artistic output, Gi. hehehe.
nice photos fritz, got any nude photos of yours? joke! :-P
If you see me in person, you won't even bother to joke about asking. Believe me.
oops! obvious? nyahahaha!
i just showed your blog to alf and we are reading your entries. we especially like the last paragraph in this entry...lumalabas ang pagka hambog mo, but there is truth in your words. hehe
Natural na kulay lumalabas talaga no! Nyahahaha!
