Lance Ulanoff comments on this: with a 1-megapixel camera phone that offers a teardrop-size lens and a focal length somewhat smaller than the thickness of a fly's whisker seems really bad idea to captures these important events in ones life.
I mean, seriously, don't these people own regular digital cameras? Of course they do! Did they forget them? Probably not. I think they made the conscious decision to leave the bulkier camera at home and capture the magic with their Motorola Razr.
A camera phone leaves you with one set of crappy images (don't even think about using it for video). A good digital camera will provide an endlessly shareable set of high-quality images and, potentially, quite passable video.
Ultimately, those seeking to capture memories need to think not only of the moment, but of the future. They need to imagine the day when they'll be sitting in their living room or den, laughing and crying over their digitally captured memories.
