Chelle it's a Sony Ericsson T300 with a pretty nifty camera attachment that allows you to edit the size of the photo's, add effects etc... It's also got a built in memory so you don't waste the phones memory 
All you do then is send them to my own personal O2 webspace (comes with the contract) & upload them from there

The only problem with the Sony Ericsson is the picture quality on the phone itself. As they were one of the first colour screens (T68i) the pixels aren't as good as on some of the more recent phones such as the Panasonic & Vodaphone ones that have a built in camera. I was actually considering changing mine for one of those at some point but I dunno?

The only irritating thing about the Panasonic is the lack of flash....I do believe the Sony has one on the attachment?
I haven't yet downloaded any piccies from the phone yet, but I do have a few stored. I will endeavour to get hold of a cable for it (at a cheaper price than the rip off one being offered at the place the phone was bought too!!!) and get some piccies up so we can do a comparison....unless you post a thread asking if anyone else has done so.

LOL I don't actually believe any of the phones have a flash. I know that some have a night time function that lightens everything up. The large Nokia one has that but unfortunately mine doesn't 
It'll only be a matter of time before phones with flashes come out anyway

<Edited to say> I've just woken up, i'm a muppet & it was yesterday (The 7th)!!!!!!!!
I've gotta start by saying how this day came about. There I was at work one day flicking through my flexible benefits trying to decide whether I wanted dental cover, medical cover, life insurance etc... & what did I find...a day at Prodrive Live What must my company be thinking!!! So without forking out a penny (Yay a freebie!!!) that box was ticked straight away
Apart from the rain that kept cropping up, the day was one of the most enjoyable i've had & those that have been before will vouch for this i'm sure All credit goes to the organisers of the day who were always well organised & had a great sense of humour which just made it all the more fun.
What I didn't realise about Prodrive Live is that it's not just the rally car's that you get to drive but you also get to drive the Landrover Defenders round their specially designed off-road circuit & they also let you loose on their skid test facility.
We started off the day in the 4x4's (excuse the picture quality but they were all taken with my phone)
That's a lot deeper than it looks The rear diff was dragging occasionally. Probably due to me being in the back
The water hazard & yes the camera is straight
These baby's can go anywhere!!! They made mincemeat of the 50 degree climb & descent
After doing the off-road section we went on the skid test facility & had a demonstration of what happens on different surfaces under accelerating & braking with & without the traction control & ABS on. Unfortunately it was pi$$ing it down so I didn't leave the car to take any pictures of this but belive me when doing 40mph with one tyre on tarmac & the other on black ice & no ABS...you tend to spin around a few times Even at 5-10mph the car was all over the place.
After lunch we hit the rally cars. Saved the best until last
Here's the 350BHP beauty's. Fully kitted out with harnesses & roll cages. Those of you who saw top gear will have seen them (That should be everyone then)
One good thing was that they weren't stripped out so you could go in the back seat's as well. Here's a couple from the rear seat:
Here's one of a girl I met (Laura) enjoying a ride in the back seat of a scooby
To finish the day off the instructors took us around to show us how it should be done
90 degree right:
90 degree right sideways I think you can see the tyre smoke
Once again thanks to all the guys who organised the day it was absolutely brilliant
