Years ago, many consumers resisted the trend to combine many different features, such as taking pictures or playing music, into a cell phone.  They didn’t know what exactly the point was of being able to take low-quality pictures with their cell phone.  Nowadays, camera phones are relatively inexpensive and take much better pictures than in the past, which makes buying them an easy choice.  In fact, it is getting harder and harder to find cell phones that do not provide these types of functions!  It is much rarer these days to find a phone that only makes and receives calls than it is to see multi-function cell phones.
