I know that, It seems that i-mobile just took that sony sensor and put it into the phone, because indoor photos with flash suffer from visiable noise because of the poor or no noise reduction.
So my camera won't be destroyed because of this shoot?

no, optical zoom was the most responsible for the sensor burns/melts. since the function of the latter was to zoom in an image. imagine when pointing the camera to the sun, the zoom allows the sensor to magnify the sunlight beyond what the light sensitivity sensor can handle. ending up on intense light coming up in the sensor that it will now be burned. so whenever you have a digital camera with optical zoom pointing in the sun, please!
DON'T ZOOM the image in your camera!

Thanks, for clearing that out for me, I was worried because I'm planing to sell my 902 soon, and buy a K810i and a Sony DSC-W35 digital camera, and then later maybe in six months or so sell K810i and buy K850i!
That's my plan.

I remember one time when I bought a defective Nokia 6600 . . . I have to put the fone on our roof from 10 am till 3 pm (when the sun is at it's peak). The fone is lying on the roof with the batt covered REMOVED (the inside part should be heated . . .) thus, resulting to exposing the camera-lens directly to the sun
I did thsi for about 4 days straight . . . after which nothing happened to the cam (still functioning well). The flash IC needs some heatin' that's why . . .

my 1-cent worth of thoughts about the thread...
i have taken lots of "sunny" photographs both with my Olympus digital camera and my precious SE W810i. nothing happens...
i guess something will happen if you will really point your lens directly against the sun (temporarily "blinding" you at the same time in the process!). its the same as the usual school experiment of burning something in the ground with the use of a magnifying lens or glass using the sun's rays...
its creativity and of course with what your device can offer you that produces great "sunny" shots!

As a few have said it isn't good to let a camera sensor have long exposure to the sun by leaving it laying around,
the most dangerous time (midday) for a camera sensor is the fraction of a second when the auto focus system might actually try to focus (on or near infinity) on the sun if there's nothing in the foreground of the shot to prevent it
if you've ever experimented with lenses when at school, you can have a piece of paper underneath and nothing will happen even in full sunlight until the lens is moved to just the right distance from the paper and the sun becomes a focused dot)
sunrise & sunset photos shouldn't cause any problems because of the amount of dust in the atmosphere that the low angle of sun has to shine through!
