Lens for cell phone

---

Just found out that these things exist, for example:

Anybody tried something like this on LG 2X?

i am really interested for a fisheye lens.
The iPhone even has a 360 lens + app

I look at that and all I can say is "Buy a camera" .

Quality of purpose built camera versus a phone camera is no competition.

Excellent advice Scougar, you can buy great cheap pocket cameras that eat the O2X for breakfast. By the way, I loved your battery building thread. I hope you get the result you are looking for.

Don't get me wrong, the camera on the O2X is pretty good, but put it up against a cheap camera with a zoom len's and it's no competition. I have a £30 5MP camera from about 5 years ago that will totally blow the O2X away for picture quality.

If he wants to give a len's a go I wouldn't want to stop him from trying... I've bought enough junk recently for experiments (GSM/UMTS aerials, Li-ion batteries of all sorts, new phone housing that were such bad quality I had to throw them away, new LED lights, headphones for an old mobile phone lol.).

Anyway.. the battery thing I'm a bit dissappointed, but I'll retry the experiment.. but I learnt a lot from my mistakes.

Hi Scougar, if the other user wants to slap a LENS on his phone, go for it. But good advice is good advice, if the object of the exercise is to take pictures. I take around 10,100 pictures a year. And I must admit that there have been times when I've been glad to have a half decent camera on my O2X.

It's not a patch compared to my el-cheapo Canon IXUS 92.

Sorry to hear your battery project has stumbled a bit. Best of luck to you. I recently bought an extended battery 2400mAh for £13 delivered. It would have been even better if the battery was a 3000mAh wonder boy like the one your building. But I'm very happy with the extended performance. It definitely lasts longer.

That rom looks nice, is that ICS? (I never understood why we are limited to such big icons in Gingerbread...)

Hi Scougar, I am running ICS, if you are so inclined, you can find it HERE.

Regarding the size of the icons. The size is largely dictated by the home launcher you are using. I'm using NOVA Launcher, which is only for ICS I'm afraid. GoLauncher is a good choice for Gingerbread ROM's.





Have fun. Anil

PS. I'm a user interface developer, so there are a lot of custom icons on my home screen.

Hi silentmelodies, the phone is fatter, no doubt. But you get a lot more time to play with your O2X.

I'm six feet tall and weigh 107Kgs. So you could say I'm a big guy. Which means in my big hands, the phone doesn't feel very fat. I suppose if you are a small person it may seem "very fat". iPhone users might say the O2X's screen is too big. Everything is relative.

Have fun. Anil
