Question about Cingular Camera Phones

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)

Hi All,

I am working on a service that will take photos from camera phones and
post them to the web. The problem is that each cellular provider
sends out the photos via email in a different format. I do not know
anyone with a Cingular camera phone and they do not provide live
phones at any of the stores I have been to.

If you have a camera phone I would greatly appreciate it if you can
send me a picture from your camera phone. My email is
cameraphone@gmail.com

While I cannot offer much in exchange other than my thanks, I do have
some extra gmail accounts. Until I run out, I would be happy to send
gmail invites to people who send me a followup email after sending me
a picture. Please mention either your cellphone email address or what
was in your picture so that this does not just become a random request
for gmail accounts.

Best,
T.J.

Actually, since most people with phones that can take pictures have
sent themselves a few, all you had to do was ask "how is the photo
sent" if that's what you wanted to know. (of course you don't get those
hard to get cell phone numbers that way)

Uh huh, sure. A bunch of "known good" cell phone numbers
and cell E-mail addresses sure couldn't be worth anything to
anyone, huh? You'll just delete them.
