[SIGCIS-Members] Early mobile phone photography

[Friedrich Tietjen]

   Dear colleagues,

together with a group of Swiss, German and Finnish colleagues I'm  
currently researching into cameras from a cultural studies  
perspective. One thing I'm trying to get a better understanding of are  
early mobile phone cameras and their images. I'm in particular  
interested in pre-smartphone photography, and I wonder whether you can  
help me out:

# I couldn't find a library of photographs taken with camera-equipped  
phones. Would you know if there is one? If there is none and you have  
such photographs (and also videos) somewhere - would you mind sharing  
some with me (if available with information about the phone used)?

# Would you know of a place collecting the tech specifications of  
these early phones? I'm particularly interested in whether .jpg was  
consistently used as a format or, if not, which other formats were in  
use.

   Many thanks in advance
   Friedrich
