Non Camera Droids?

I love tech toys like everyone else here, as soon as I started hearing rumors of the original Droid with the slide out keyboard I knew that's what I wanted to get (after many, many, full retail price purchases of "top dog" dumb phones). I love that phones are getting impressive cameras, and the idea of front facing cameras for video chat is, well, Back to the Future awesome status.
Unfortunately, working for the Govt. where I work, I can't have a cameraphone. I bought a BB Bold 9650 non camera, and the BB system sucked so bad that paying the early termination fee was worth it to stop using it and get rid of the second line I added just for work. So, after going back to just my Droid on one line I ended up removing the lense cover on my Droid, drilled out the camera, and filled it with an epoxy rendering the camera PHYSICALLY disabled. That method of having a non camera phone is perfectly acceptable at work. I'm comfortable doing this to phones with rear only cameras, but front facing ones are going to be a different story I'm imagining.
I'm in my upgrade window right now, but the only phone that I'm seeing that's a possibility is the Droid Pro, but there's 2 problems with that one - 1: it's got a traditional sucky BB layout for the keys, and 2: I can't confirm it actually has a non camera option. I've seen rumors, but nothing as far as options for ordering it that way.
Are there any 'other' non camera Droid phones coming out? I know these are mainly consumer driven devices, thus they have 15 cameras strategically placed all over the phones, and if I could have one and bring it to work, believe me I would in a heartbeat... but is there anything on the horizon for those of us that have jobs that require security clearances?
Thanks in advance..........

I suspect the reason Verizon has not invested in the development of a non camera smartphone is the market is SOOOOOOOOO small for such a device, the price of the device would be ridiculous large for the consumer.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my Droid and don't feel an overwhelming urge to swap it out for anything else just yet... my power button doesn't work quite right from time to time, but this phone has seen heavy use over the past year and hasn't let me down. I'm just kind of disappointed that the big V doesn't have many options concerning non camera phones. Besides, the Droid is probably the best phone they picked up so far... not loaded up with all that MotoBlur crap and apps you can't get rid of (useless bankrupt blockbuster video app anyone?). Maybe I'll go back to rooting this phone again and have fun like its brand new again.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Cannot import non-camera images onto mac

I'm using the Xperia Z3 Compact with the 'Sony Bridge for Mac' software - I'm only using this software because no other software will even recognise the connected phone. It seems that software is the only way to import my images from the phone.
HOWEVER my options seem to be "show camera photos only" or "show all photos". The "camera photos" exclude any images downloaded from apps, any edited images, any screenshots. The "all photos" lists a huge amount of images, so I can only assume it's including all kinds of temporary files - but it doesn't show thumbnails of any non-camera images. The program gives an error when I try to import any image without a thumbnail.
Is there an alternative, better, EASIER way of getting all of my images onto my computer?!

Palm should focus on Non-camera Smart Phone

There is definately a market for non-camera smart phone. If Palm can't compete with those phone packed with apps and multimedia stuff, why not create a brand new market?
There are certain occupation that do not allow camera phones. And it's hard to find a decent smart phone that doesn't come with a camera. I believe Palm can create and should focus on this market sector.

N51 Non - Camera Cell Phone

I have been trying to get n51 (without camera) phone. searched almost on all the website.. still no success.

The non-camera E51 was not available everywhere, only in selected markets where there was a significant demand for phones without cameras. Since the E51 is now superseded by newer models, it is safe to assume that it has ceased production so your only chance to get one would be to find a retailer who still has unsold stock.

Non-camera Android phone info

For those of us craving a non-camera Android OS phone, I have some info.
I sent an email to the national VP for customer service expressing my desire for a non-camera Android phone. I was polite in my email and pointed out the need for an Android phone which could be used in secure environments. I went further and pointed out that VerizonWireless was missing the oppurtunity to serve an unserved sector of the wireless market.
Several days went past and I did not hear from VerizonWireless. On 9/23, I received a phone call from VerizonWireless. The caller was directed to contact me by the VP. The caller stated that the need for a non-camera Android phone was to be brought to the attention of the executives. The caller went on to state that there was nothing in the works now.
All of this is a step in the right direction. I suggest that other people desiring a non-camera Android phone contact John Bianchi express their concerns. He can be reached at http://aboutus.vzw.com/leadership/executive/profiles/John_Bianchi.html. There is a contact hyperkink at the bottom of the above page. This will send you to an email page wher you can compose an email. I wrote my email in Word and pasted it into the email.
Maybe if we can convince VerizonWireless there is a real market for a non-camera Android phone, eventually a handset will appear.
Get those emails going!

I have also done the same on making calls and sending emails and the only response that I got was from one phone call in which they stated "that the need of people for non camera phones only makes up 3% of all there customers so its not profitable for them" So I read this that as a company they don't care about those 3% of customers.........which I'm sure its a lot higher then 3%, with all the military and government jobs that are not "supposed to" have camera phones in the areas they work, but run the risk anyway to have a phone.

E62 discontinued - any other non camera business / smart phones available?

There's a camera-less version of the E51 available in many countries.

How do I transfer non-Camera Roll photos from iPhone3G to PC?

Years ago I copied thousands of sentimental family photos from a dying laptop to my then state of the art iPhone 3.
They were in multiple seperate folders, and NOT saved to the Camera Roll.
How can I transfer them back to my latest laptop as they obviously don't show in the iPhone explore when connected to a laptop etc.
I am desperate to retrieve these photos in full resolution as they are so sentimental.
The only option I know that works is by emailing 5 at a time .. but as there are nearly 6000 photos ... ugh! And obviously the basic iPhone3G doesn't have Cloud functionality.
There must be an easier way? Please help!
Many thanks in advance.

Look man sorry for late reply but I was stuck with some net probs
By the way if u have 2 idevices then u can download the bluetooth-U app on both and it will automatically detect idevices via bluetooth and u can import the all 6000 photos and other many files from your albums or camera roll and tranfer them for free from one idevice to other
its free no wifi and net required and will work like a horse
try not for photos then for some other files
it reads all extentions from pdf to .doc anfld many mire
it can even play and view all files documents photos and pdfs and even music or videos
by the way if u add your pics to this software via iTunes app tab then they will be available in full resolution just in case u want to do it !!!!!
Happy to know ur prob solved but I m sorry for late reply if my router had worked correc then I would have urgently solved ur prob
but do download man its amazing soft
and do reply
Cheers TGT

How to copy non-camera roll photos from iphone

Hi
I have several hundred photos on iphone that I've lost on my laptop after hard drive failure. Apple store helped to copy camera roll photos to CD but can't help with the others. I REALLY want to get copies of these, even if they're not quite top resolution.
Any suggestions about ways to copy photo folders off iphone? Battery problems mean I ned to do this quickly so iphone can be wiped for testing/software reinstallment.
Many thanks
Sue

Sue,
When you plug your phone into your Windows computer Windows should prompt you what application do you want to use to import the photos from your "digital camera" that you just plugged into your computer. It will display a list of compatible applications. Pick one, when it opens it should show the photos on the phone/camera and allow you to import them. Hope this helps!

I can't sign in to my itunes account. I had email sent to reset password but none came through

How can I sign in to my account if email sent to reset password does not get sent from itunes to my email?

I would give it up to 24hours for the email to come through. If it still doesn't come through contact support.

So, why no droid type phones without a camera?

So, now we are into year four of my asking why VZW does not want to capture a decent market share and start offering a droid-style phone without a camera?
Like many people working in certain fields, I like having the features of a smartphone, but I am stuck with a Blackberry because I can not have a camera.
Now, before some genius starts up with how to modify a smartphone- the requirement is to not have a camera; not a disabled or removed camera, a phone made without a camera.
Yes, there is a large population of people that would love any smartphone other than a BB- IF they could find one without a camera. We are talking 4000 plus just where I work, several thousand more down the road.
I have worked in a manufacturing environment before too- a line that does not install a camera, uses a solid cover plate, and loads operating software without camera apps is not a huge task to set up, especially when you consider the DoD, Scientific, Trade, Medical, Mental Health, Research, Legal, Law Enforcement, and Education workers that can not have camera-phones.
On the same subject, why have all non-camera phones (not just smartphones, but all) been removed from my local Verizon store? It is in a location where several facilities that forbid camera phones could be hit with a thrown rock- do you just dislike your store workers that bad?

Try to take this without being upset. Who asked for your opinion?
RIM does make a non-camera Blackberry, several other companies make non-camera phones.
There is a fairly large market of people that work in areas where it is a JOB LOSING OFFENSE to have a camera phone.
You knowing "..plenty of people in the field..." is so much nightsoil of the male bovine. The people I work with would rather not lose their jobs (as about six [new] people did last year).
I don't see you as a VZW employee on your profile- if you are, I pity them for hiring someone who just makes uninformed comments. I don't need opinions from the peanut gallery; I want a direct and straightforward answer from verizon.

Iphone camera not recognized in Windows 7

Hello Fellow iPhone users
I am having a problem with the iPhone camera on the iPhone 3g 3.0. I cannot get it to allow me to open up the camera to get the pictures off of it. When I go to Devices and Printers it shows the Apple Mobile Device USB driver and that is installed fine and it works in ITunes, however, it also shows the iPhone but with the yellow triangle and exclamation point. It says that the driver is not installed properly. The status is needs troubleshooting. When I go to properties, it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)". I have tried reinstalling iTunes, unplugging, replugging the iPhone. I have tried a different iPhone (a 3GS with version 3.1.2) with the same results(they both work fine in XP).
I have been trying to get this working for a few hours and have no idea what is wrong. Are there any other drivers I can get? How about reinstalling the usb drivers? This is on an Acer netbook, and it was working with Windows 7 starter, but when I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, it stopped working. I assume it is a driver issue, but I don't know what other drivers I can use or which ones to change out. Other USB cameras are working fine.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Windows sometimes won't detect the phone and allow camera/scanner access if there are pics on the iphone not taken by the iphone camera. Email any non camera taken pics to yourself, download them on your computer, then delete the pics from the iphone. When you reconnect your computer it should start the camera/scanner download as usuall.
