          @charlesarthur @monkbent @overlayered no, but Nokia has cemented the camera enthusiast mindshare. that's a good thing.

          @jaykannan @monkbent @overlayered there's no evidence Nokia has "cemented" that at all.

          @jaykannan @monkbent @overlayered you're offering a random Google search as evidence? Times are hard.

          @charlesarthur @monkbent @overlayered well, that really can't be known at the moment. just that they're #1 in something helps sales.

          @charlesarthur that would require some kind of flawed survey, no? “Excuse, was camera a factor to you in your phone purchase…hmm, no.”

          @SammyWalrusIV that's the way lots of surveys work. I don't think camera is an *overriding* reason for choice above others.

          @charlesarthur ok. Different though then “camera doesn’t matter”. If anything it’s an after purchase consideration. “Wow, love this camera”
