The PN-218's VGA camera includes a lot of options. You can take pictures in three resolutions (640x480, 320x240 and 160x120) and choose from three quality settings. Other options include brightness and contrast settings, five color effects, a contrast, a self timer and four shutter sounds (there's also a silent option). The flash works relatively well for brightening dim situations.
You can personalize the PN-218 with a variety of wallpapers, screensavers and sounds. You can download more choices and more ringtones with the WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser. Gamers are out of luck, as the PN-218 doesn't come with any titles.
