does anyone know if there is / will be a cameraless version of the Touch Pro? Or any of the newer phones that is... Treo Pro, Omnia, Diamond, etc... I'm still stuck at Hermes level by Cingular. Does AT&T still make versions without cameras?
Why do you want a camera less version? Why not just get the normal one and not use the camera?
Because he works in a place (or goes to a school) where camera's are prohibited, due to there being sensitive documents (or children) about.
Maybe it helps,when you put a piece of sticky tape on the camera chip under the cover disable camera icon in album,turn off touchflo and delete camera shortcut from programs,so all access to camera app will be disabled. If someone will ask,if you are able to take pictures with it,just give him for a test to take the picture. Or make a small triangle from black plastics and stick it on the alluminium one. Yes,but what with the 3G camera?
Thats correct. A place where cars are around that noone has seen yet. A camera would cost me my job, not even a cameraphone with deactivated camera is allowed. So the AT&T (or until now Cingular) phones where great, because I could show them, they are *manufactured* without camera (though I know the modul is just pulled inside and a black cover where the lens was). Of course it's a real pita to find those on ebay, and from someone that ships to germany too
Mercedes, BMW or Audi I wonder
@TomasNM: in case they ask, I have to prove that the phone was manufactured without camera, i.e. you can order or buy it somewhere. Of course I can fake the camera be gone, but when I have a HTC something for example, I need to be able to show that there is one without camera (like nokia E51 for example).
@NLS: Audi.
there's quite a demand for phones without camera, but it's more or less ignored by companys. Only one so far besides Nokia I know is Cingular, and that was only because they couldn't get their video network to work
Yes,I was in april at BMW in Germany for a bussinesstrip. Everywhere is taking photos strictly disallowed,but I needed some to take(of ours machine for documentation),so I just did it with Olympus camera,not only with HTC Hurricane(my bussiness phone). Everybody thought,I am crazy,but I didn't care. Hahaha. Sorry La....ut. Anyway,our machines are for the welding of already-known parts of BMWs and my pictures was without those parts,so no secret things goes out(if someone wants to ask).
BMW is quite easy on cameras, and in Audi manufacturing part noone cares also (everyone I know that works there has a cameraphone). Though I work in the technical development area, and it's quite different there... There are several cases of termination of work contract...
Considering how difficult it is to get a phone now that doesnt have a camera. Cant you just explain the situation with your boss?

Pictures, or it didn't happen!
LOL, J/K
What about physically removing the camera and making a little cover to cover the hole. Ive heard of people doing that. Ive also heard there are companies that will do it for you if you don't have the skills. When I worked at 3M it was worse,we simply were not allowed to have phones of any kind in the plant at all. At our plant,we had could have them in the offices,up front but not in the actual manufacturing facility.
If I did that with say,my mogul,I think I would get one of the 3rd party extended batteries with the cover that doesnt have the markings that indicate there is a camera. That way,I would have a phone,with no camera,and a little plastic or rubber plug over a hole,where there is no camera. (rubber plug might be better,that way if someone really thought there was a camera,you could pull out the plug and show them,nothing there. )
There will be a cameraless version, why is everyone douvting it? The 8125, 8525, and Tilt all have had cameraless counterparts.
I'm not doubting, I have asked the bad thing about it, is you have to wait ~2 generations of phones until they pop up on ebay....
(and explaining such a situation to the boss of 30.000 ppl that you maybe saw once on TV is a bit difficult)

There are some Qteks around, with pushmail and everything, but only for upper management. They just have a sticker on the camera, but they are registered with numbers. Also there's a department that has camera phones in an isolated area, those are the ppl that work on bluetooth in the car etc., but again everything registered. Since I'm external, i.e. working for a company that works for that company, there's no way to get in a situation to be *allowed* to have a secured camera phone.
I the case of the Touch Pro there are 2 cameras that need to be removed / disabled, making it even more difficult to do oneself to the satisfaction required.
Ill send you my Nokia 2110.... and in return I get a pic of the RS8?
no need for the nokia

HP Ipaq 614. Not as cool as the Rapahel, but still a reasonable phone. Without any camera!

Maybe this will help/guide/... you: click.
I was wondering if it was possible to take everything except the screen out of the original diamond and put it into a diamond 2 housing. thanks in advance.
stop joking please absolutely not
why not just buy a diamond 2
these devices are soo custom made with pcb for casing no such thing will ever be likely
Thanks. Searched for an answer, but couldn't find any so I figured I'd ask. I thought that maybe since people have made portable xbox 360's, maybe this. I saw a lot of people selling the housing, and being too poor to buy one at the moment, I thought it might be possible. but it looks like I'll just have to wait.
so i traded my LG xenon for a HTC fuze...but to my amazement it had no freakin' camera...i thought it wasnt a big deal, but i really want a camera for my fuze..the back battery part is covered, and there is a rubber covering where the camera would be...i took that off and it was nothing...is there a way to add a camera on the fuze?
Are you sure it is a Fuze? Fuzes come with a 3.2mp digital camera built in.... Does the battery cover just cover up the camera? I am jsut trying to figure out if you actually have a fuze, and not something else...
att has always had a non camera version for their ppc's for gov use. go back and ask for the right one

Umm, seeing as he "traded" some guy his old phone for this one, I don't think that is a viable option....
whoops my bad i thought he meant traded in at the store like a return
Yeah as a matter of fact I traded it with some guy on craigslist.
I guess the features, wifi..gps-a...the community and "hacking" the
phones ROM is awesome, but I want a camera. Unless someone wants to buy
it off me for 160 shipped, in the USA only though haha.
But is there a way I could add a camera? any Opinions or thoughts would be helpful.
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to upgrade the 1.3mp to say a 2/3.5/5mp.
if you bought a new/used motherboard ad swoped the cameras?
Is so, i think i might jus keep on using the Uni
I think its dowm to the drivers as wel though, I once managed to fit a vibrating motor in the Athena but it never worked coz it had nothing to tell the machine it now had one. i went through the reg settings but with no luck. Nice thought though, I too would continue using the Uni if it had a better camera and bigger memory.
Regards
Jay
yeah same,
or if i could upgrade it =] would be awesome
I've been looking around for a wile now and can seem to only find two devises.
Onemoreface which isn't even being manufactured yet. And, one for the iphone.
Has anyone tested the iphone one on their G2? Also, does anyone know of any other accessories that would work?
Thanks in advance,
Groboto
I was thinking about this the other day and thought about building something, which would probably end up looking really ghetto.
Do you have a link to the iphone one? I would love something like this for my phone.

It only goes to show how insensitive HTC became when they were designing the G2 & DZ to leave out the front camera.
Had I fully explored the DZ, I probably would have given it a miss for not having a front-facing camera like the one on the TP2; I took it as a given.
I'll get that iSnapMe when i get my Z and test it out for you Although Onemoreface does look nicer Infact i wrote an article about that this morning lol
