Now I bought an N73 because I got hooked on moblogging. I started with Flickr on a lark some time after I got my Nokia 6600 because Flickr had the combination of features I wanted.

Not believable as the only factor, but this might contribute. I also believe in the lack-of-EXIF issue, but wouldn't that show up somehow as "unknown"? See this effect at getjar.com: Even though I'm sure games are downloaded in truck loads the most popular downloads are applications, because there are so few application "models" to choose from. There's e.g. only one good Java browser (Opera Mini) so it will lead in that segment etc etc. It's of course anyway a good thing that so many users add functionality to their phones via downloads from GetJar. A trend in itself no doubt. That doesn't have anything to do with the topic of the blog entry though, so I'll shut up now :).

I know that is the reason I don't use a cameraphone at the moment. Perhaps it has something to do with the cost of uploading high-quality pictures OTA.

I've got tons of cameraphone pics on my flickr page, but I'm pretty sure my HTC device's camera/software simply doesn't use EXIF. :( How many cameraphone cameras embed EXIF data?
