CDA:R2A04 (this is repeated twice for some reason?)
SEUS says it's up to date.
Well that doesn't make it Vanilla then

Yeah I'm aware of that
it's only got a tiny hint of strawberry in there though so I'm happy....
...only possible problem is if in the future I update using SEUS and it puts a heavily branded firmware on.

I wouldn't say it's a waste of time in a 2 Mpixel mobile camera. Let's say you are somewhere and want to send someone an MMS, but you are a little bit too far from the object you want to show. Then it would definitely be a waste of time shooting the image without zoom, going home and resize it in an image editor before sending it.
But I agree that as long time isn't of importance it would be better using Photoshop to get the amount of zoom you like. The resizing algorithms are most likely a lot better.
I'd still argue that a digital zoom is a complete waste of time - it doesn't get you any nearer to the subject and it certainly doesn't magnify a subject which is too far away - all it does is to simply enlarge the centre of the frame image resulting in reduced quality and "blurring" of the image.
Although I imagine it could help as a "crop" function function when sending a 2MP as reduced size image in an MMS so I guess you may have a point on that score.

I understand your opinion, and totally agree when it comes to more serious photography, in which case the P990i is a waste of time in the first place.
I think it's sufficient to use as an every-day-camera. Excellent to use for snapshots, but I wouldn't use it for any kind of important shooting.

I quite agree. Rarely use the camera myself and I view it as a "bonus" feature and nothing more.
I can't imagine a camera phone for a good few years (if ever) which is worth bothering with for anything serious.
Devices like the K800i may be perceived as "good" for a camera phone, but all but the absolute cheapest digital cameras will run rings around them.

*Out of topic*
Digital zoom is very usefull for small pictures (like MMS).
Example:
A photo, digital zoomed 4x, resized to 4x less resolution (than full resolution), it's similar to an optical zoom of 4x.
