well, clearly it is about time to dump javascript because it is so rubbish. it is a dreadful thing that is slow, unreliable and cumbersome. and to make it worse, Sun's JVM is bloated and slows the machine down even further.

Wow.
It's 2007, and people are *still* confusing Javascript with Java. I won't argue that Java *applets* pretty much suck balls, but Java*script* is an entirely different technology. I'd offer an explanation, but I honestly doubt it'd be grasped by those getting it wrong in the first place.
Oh, and Ex Pat: "ridiculous linux"? You mean the platform that powers so many web servers across the world? Including - oh my - The Register itself:
Server: Apache/2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux)
You *might* wanna consider a bit of research before shooting off at the mouth. It might just help you look a little *less* dim.
My other half is trialling a phone for work - a Sony Ericsson 3G model lighter than the T610(!!!). Of all the things that grabbed me about it, the weight was the stand-out.
I scoured this article for that kind of info... and it's just not there. A specs page, at least, would be useful.
Beyond which, where's the info about the battery life? The signal quality? (The Motorola Razr V3x, for example, doesn't hold a 3G signal anywhere near as well as a Nokia 6680.) The interface? The web browsing capabilities - is Opera installed, or does it come with some byzantine custom browser?
These are all important questions, and answering them would be a bigger help than just focusing (pardon the pun) on the camera's capabilities.
Surely they'd only be "under fire" if the vulnerabilities in question were:
- being complained about by all and sundry
- not being reported - or worse, ignored - by the Mozilla Foundation
- left unpatched, regardless of the risk they represent.
And yet - goodness! - none of the three seem to apply. Did the Foundation do something unspeakable to John Leyden? It'd explain the slant of the article...

Javascript != Java.

Taking photos is all well and good, but...

Way to sensationalise, guys.
