soldered on :( i guess if your really good u could swap it, although the firmware wouldn't support the auto focus nor would it support the 3.2 mega pixels. or would it.......
doubtful. bold's camera software completely different than the 8900's
I was thinking the same thing when I was poking around cnn.cn :D Probably not possible because of software/hardware incompatibility. Which is too bad. I hardly use the camera on my Bold as everything comes out blurry. The camera is one thing I miss from the 8900 I had for a couple of days :(

If this could happen, it would be the best phone ever.

I used to have a 5 MP on my N95 and used it alot. Now with the bold i never care to use my camera witch relly is a shame, it seems to be Bolds biggest weeknes.

I agree that would be a big improvement for the Bold..

My bold's pics are fine. Don't really get too many blurry ones or great ones. Btw, you guys do know that megapixels are strictly how big the pics are and have no bearing on image quality. That's dependant on the quality of the lens mechanism.

I don't have a problem with the image size, but they are blurry because of my shakey hands ;) Good thing I'm not a surgeon :eek:

Its all about autofocus... I miss the camera on my SE 810. Autofocus 2mp camera with digital zoom.

i had the 810i. one of the greatest phones i've ever used. until the bold came along. too bad the camera stinks though.
Is this even possible though? Swap out the camera and 8900 COD files maybe?
That would be a nice combo. But I think the Onyx has a better cam and plus its the follow up to the Bold anyways.

From Cnn.cn....
Deep down, I still think it could be done..Hello Omar
No, it's not possible to swap the Curve 8900 camera into the Bold 9000. The
Curve uses a larger square shaped camera. Also, the software on the Bold
would not be able to accommodate the additional pixels, as well as the
autofocus function.
