I think its reasonable for a phone, doesnt have auto focus but for the pics I take with it that hasnt been an issue as yet. Havent used the video feature yet either.
I think in a store the best outright price is Allphones they have it for $1079 (I thnk I saw it at optus for $999 outright though but could be wrong) I got mine just before the official release for $20 a month phone repayments. It was an error on a telechoice brochure that they had to honour so works out alot cheaper, its meant to be $32 per month.
Other than that if you are willing to buy online use http://www.staticice.com.au and http://www.shopbot.com.au for price comparisons.
