For the love of god, please stop harping on about megapixels.

With the tiny sensors and lenses in phones, all more megapixels are going to do is give you more noise.

I would pay extra for a DECREASE in resolution--it would almost certainly mean better pics esp. in low light situations.

Hopefully this comment will cause the Inq to take a stand on the subject and some sanity can be brought to the issue?
OTA is a feature that many mobile phone makers have implemented over time, Nokia being the most prominent.

OTA allows you to upgrade your phone's firmware/software directly over whatever network you're running on (not necessarily a 3G one). Simply put, it avoids a company having support stores in every single market they are present, each time they need to update your phone with something.

I'd be surprised if this device or any smartphone for that matter, did not have OTA.

It is likely that smartphones that can connect to the net will download packages from the manufacturer's site, instead of using OTA, but OTA is pretty run of the mill stuff.
More pixels does not mean a better picture. Period.
Since it runs windows does it come with a reset button to save you removing the battery twice a day when it crashes?
