- Has anyone successfully taken a photo of a document?
I use my 9650, quite frequently, as a portable "scanner". It takes very sharp, full screen shots of single page documents (even receipts). From there, I can send the photo to whomever needs it... so it's like a fax, too.
So, can the 9900/30 take acceptable photos of text/documents? Any examples out there?
(and just to be clear, I was thinking of getting a Playbook if the 9930 is an inadequate "scanner".... .but the Playbook also has the fixed focus lens????)08-27-11 07:46 PMLike 0 - Has anyone successfully taken a photo of a document?

However this phone is better in so many other ways...tough choice.08-27-11 07:50 PMLike 0 - ...I meant to add... perhaps I'll keep the 9650... and get the Playbook. That way, I can keep myself interested in "the new gadget" while waiting for a proper QNX phone.
Being with Verizon, I'm not going to get the torch-with-keyboard. My understanding is that this torch has a proper camera.... so I'm kinda stuck.08-27-11 08:13 PMLike 0 - Just took the pictures below from my 9900 runing .317. Was about 1 foot away from my screen, no flash, first one was taken with close up settings and second one taken with text settings. Taking a clear picture is all about lighting and the zoom. I had 1x zoom activated and here are the results.08-27-11 08:14 PMLike 0
- Yeah, I really don't get what RIMM was thinking with no autofocus, but as I said the phone is superior in many other ways, I'm trying to look past it.Optimus-Prime-618 likes this.08-27-11 08:17 PMLike 1

Maybe not as great as an autofocus camera, but i dont really take pictures of documents of text personally. The couple times ive taken a picture of a doc is if im in a hurry and i took a picture of a list of supplies or groceries and the camera works great for that. Im speaking on behalf of myself though because i know some people take pictures of documents more often then i do. if its an important document, use a scanner. if its a quick job, the phone is fine for that.08-27-11 08:57 PMLike 0

I still have some time in my return policy, I'm heavily considering it, but feel extremely picky for returning an otherwise perfect phone.08-27-11 09:00 PMLike 0 -
I love my BlackBerry regardless, I love the platform, but for the money I was hoping for something as good or better than I previously had.08-27-11 09:03 PMLike 0
