I love the idea of having a camera in the BB. This can be a professional tool. In my place of employment we use cameras for documentation and troubleshooting. Now I can use a BB to take the picture and e-mail it right away. The camera is a double edged sword though. It is a split between functionality and security.

I do not feel that RIM "sold out." I believe they are simply adding another tool to the professional arsenal of the mobile professional. I am also a realist and I know that the camera will be used more for fun than for professional needs but it does open some new possibilities for those who do not want to abandon the superior mail system that BB provides.
