PPC Phone Edition & Built-in Cameras

Do you have a device that runs Pocket PC Phone Editions? Does it have a built-in camera? Chances are that the answer is yes. Ars Techica have put up a story abut the increasing resolution and functionality of cameras in mobile phones. Toward the end of the article they pose an interesting question:

"…do people really want or need three megapixel camera phones, or is this a case of cell phone makers hoping to create a new market? In the US and other countries where camera phones are banned in some places for privacy and security reasons, marketing a cell phone as a camera replacement may prove to be a tough sell. Sprint has already begun shipping a camera-less Treo 600 to satisfy the demands of consumers who want all the functionality of the phone without worrying about where they can and cannot take it."

So does your Pocket PC Phone Edition come with an embedded camera? What do you think of it and have you had any problems with taking it with you? I'm working to put up a separate Thought / Poll about PPCs and embedded cameras very soon, so lets keep the discussion in this thread to the Phone Edition devices. :)
