MobileGuerilla allegedly has evidence of photos taken using the 2 MP camera of the iPhone.

The photos were originally obtained from a Flickr page, although the photos have now been removed from that original source.

MacRumors have also cited MobileGuerilla's article, and carry their own discussion about the subject. I cannot check this for myself, but they state that they found more information about the owner of the page, using LinkedIn:

I found, after a brief search, that cached versions of Flickr pages (here and here) don't show the photos, but (for now) show statements about the source of the photos.

Just FYI: The second "here" isn't working... But the photos look good, at least the first one. The second I guess is only bad because of the back-lit cupboard.

That's what I thought, too. When something is so strongly backlit, you tend to need a flash.

"What's going on? Why is my office being cleared?"

"We've decided it is best to relocate you?"

"Oh... Where to?"

"McDonalds."

Anybody??

Yes, I'd be quite interested to know how the quality of the photos compares with those taken using other phones.

Yup. Where are the full-res demoshots by actual users?
