I’m surprised about this new Verizon phone, almost all phones that I know of come with a camera, whether it is a good or a bad one is another story. A camera on a cell phone is usually very useful and fun to play around with, however, this new phone doesn’t seem to come with a camera. Basically, this phone is an addition of their popular Motorola RIZR Z6. The weird thing is that it comes with less features than the Z6c, which is basically the lack of the camera.
So far, this phone has already gone live up on the Verizon Wireless site, but there’s not too much of a difference between this phone and its brother, the Z6c. It has been reported that all the “x” on the Motorola RIZR Z6cx stands for is no camera. Also, this might just be Motorola’s way of appealing to those companies that do not allow their employees to carry phones. The standing price of the Motorola RIZR Z6cx is $179.99 dollars, which if course is after rebates and including a contract.

I would pay signficant money for a phone that's just a phone and nothing else, not even a calculator. If it meant that the phone was the best phone you could get. That means best reception, best call quality, best audio quality. That's all I really want from a phone.
As an engineer many of the places I do business frown upon cameras.
That includes camera phones.
It is nice to find otherwise fully featured cameraless phones because it means I can have it in the office and in other peoples offices without having to worry about that little rule.

I agree, a phone with the best reception, call quality, and audio quality is all I really want/need in a phone as well. However, that's not really possible to have cell phone quality like a land line phone. That being said, all phones nowadays should come with a camera of some sort.

All I want to know is why is it so hard for cell phone manufacturers and cell service providers to realize there are a lot of businessess that do not allow camera phones on their premises and if the employee is caught with one, I know in the compayn I work for, in our sector alone there are 20,000 employees, would be fierd on the spot if they were caught with a camera phone. I do work in the defense industry. Do these cell phone manufacturers and service providers realize how big the defense industry and/or nuclear and confidential and propriatary business world is? Do the cell phone manufacturers want people working for them to go to work and take pictures of company propriatary information and trade secerts? Thaink about what kind of damage is and can be done to companies that allow camera phones on the premises.
I would love to have a full featured phone without a camera, but unfortunatelly the place I work that helps me pay my cell phone bill as well as helps me make a living does not allow camera phones, and they are not the only company that has this restriction.
Are the cell phone manufacturers and service providers punishing us for working for the defense industry, the very industry that protects our soveringty and freedoms? I fell like it because I am usually stuck with a cheap cell phone with limited capabilities or I am stuck paying an outrageous price for maybe one really nice phone with many nice features but without a camera, oh, and I may get one or two choices and they usually do not fall under the get a free phone with a sign up or buy one get one.
I am a college graduate with a degree in business. I guess these companies do not get it, and I guess I need to start up a company offering the all the phones with a camera or without a camera. Has a business case or study been conducted to see how much business is lost because of this? Or are the companies simply saying here is a camera free phone, it is basic and ugly, but at least we have one, take it or leave it, now that is customer service for you.
All I am doing is asking these cell phone manufacturers and service providers for help. Please be more considerate to those who cannot have a camera phone, please!
