I spoke to a Sprint Rep about the Camera having grainy issues and he told me that there is going to be a major software update for the instinct soon fixing up alot of issues, including issues with the camera.

that's good to hear Cheesy

WOW

that's great news. Did you get the name of the tech who told you this in case we have to go and give him a can of Whopp@$$ soda with free refills for teasing us like that. Just Kidding Wink

I bet he has an instinct too and call some friends to get the scoop. Now the question that begs to be ask is when.

capital TERRIBLE.

I don't expect much from phone cameras. However, my experience was quite the opposite. I just took six shots here at work and am amazed at how good the pictures came out. It's not like my Nikon D40X, but as I said, it's just a phone camera. I didn't buy the Instinct for the camera, that's for sure. Grin

I sure hope there is an update. My main issue is that it won't let me zoom, so my picture id pics suck unless I get right up in someones face, and thats a pain in the ass. After the pics are taken and I go to edit them, it allows me to zoom in and rotate and do some cool stuff, however once I do this it won't let me save them. Is this possible, or is this just a pointless feature that wasn't thought through?

That's the problem, a lot of people have unrealistic expectations with camera phones. They can add digital zoom (which is complete crap, even though people want it). But you cannot fix hardware limitations with software updates.
