These photos are all very good, although I do stick to my point about them always looking better when they're not shown at 100% (thanks to the horrid filtering). The cynic in me says that you could get the same results on a K800 or K810, or to a certain extent on the K770 or T650 (which, bar low light, are bloody good).
I've got photos that are also as good (in my mind) that I will upload at some point, but I'd be interested to know what percentage of pictures taken are considered good enough to go here. Are these really representative of the photos the average person is getting? Are you sifting through to find the very best examples?
Auto seems very hit and miss on all SE cameras. Sure, any pro or semi-pro will be more careful - but this isn't a camera aimed at either type of user. Flash problems aside, the focussing is often out and the image stabiliser (even on 037 firmware) doesn't prevent blurring as it does on the K800/K810. In fact, some of the worst photos I've got are with this enabled! God, I hope this is a firmware issue.
Bright daylight photos are usually fine. Dark scenes are often fine, and the flash is powerful. It's the in-between shots, which are either blurred or extremely noisy.
I'd quite like a thread to post the pictures that didn't work as intended (and I don't mean covering the lens, being drunk etc) so we can fully see how it works, and how things might be improved.

Full size pictures never look perfect. For internet sharing a 2MP picture is more than enough. Only Hasselblad gives perfect full size pictures, you can't expect a cameraphone to do the same, can you?

No problem. Thank you for the kind words
I do use stabilizor on all the time. I never found it to effect the picture negatively. I rarely use any other than auto for the profile. I do use the twilight portrait if it is dark. Also I sometimes play with the metering, turning things down to keep the flash from washing faces out. I normally take photos more than once to try different settings. If it is a time sensitive photo, I will do testing beforehand on throw away shots to get settings before the actual photo needs to be shot.
I also normally run my photos through Picasa and click "I'm feeling lucky" to auto set the brightness, contrast, and color correction. I don't know any "real" photographers that don't do at least slight post-production on photos. Its just a requirement. This is true of most arts.
Glad I spent the money I did for this phone.

...and just about any digital camera, down to P&S quality, depending of course how you define "perfect". If by that you mean that a photo still looks very good at full size, with no hints of neither noise nor noise reduction, then a digital camera costing less than half than the K850 will produce perfect full size pictures.
you can't expect a cameraphone to do the same, can you?
The camera phone makers sure have managed to lower the bar for what people find acceptable quality from a camera phone.

@ donjuan
Those pics of the MX-8 could easily have been on the first page of a known Car Magazine.
Amazing, espacially the macro on the wheel.

Nice pics. Did you touch them up in photoshop cs2 or just resize them?
