Manufacturer Hype:
"The Nokia Camera Headset is proof that good things come in small packages.
Combining a digital VGA camera and headset in a single small device that fits in
your pocket, this lightweight, comfortable Camera Headset enables rich
communication like never before.
While you're out and about, connect the Nokia Camera Headset to the Pop Port™
connection of your compatible Nokia mobile phone to capture moments and memories
with the digital VGA camera. View your shots on the display of your compatible
Nokia mobile phone. You can even control the image quality from the switch on
the camera headset before taking the picture. Then add a short text message and
send your images as multimedia messages so people can really see what you're
talking about"

Using the Device:
The camera simply connects to a compatible phone through the Pop-Port™.
Sliding open the camera, we see the green LED light up, indicating that the
camera is ready to be used and is in standby mode.
Selection of either 'high' or 'low' quality is done using a simple slide switch
on the base of the camera.
Its just a case of point and click when taking images, lying up the subject in
the viewfinder. The green LED flashes and then returns to standby mode within
three to four seconds and the camera is ready to take the next picture.
