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
