phone recommendation

[kristalsoldier]

Hello....

A friend and I are switching jobs and it so happens that we need to get phone WITHOUT a camera.....apparently some security-related issue.

Can you folks recommend a phone with this constraint? Our budget is around US$ 500-600 each. We do have the option to go with a BB. I don't know about my friend, but I'd prefer an android device.

Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid you may be out of luck with Android... BB seems like the only choice other than a regular dumbphone.

Thanks. This is very disappointing. If this is so then I would probably do with. A el cheapo dumb-phone...really no other options?

with todays technology, i think it is hard to find a decent phone without a camera on it.

I hear you, but apparently there are some places of work that are security-conscious, which leads them to make up such rules. Though I don't like it, I can't honestly say that I can't see the logic in it. What to do?

Isn't it possible to remove the camera?

Hmmm...never really thought about that, but I doubt it would pass through the outfit's security protocols....apparently, they are quite strict about it.

If I really can't find an Android phone, I might buy a cheap Nokia. I wonder do all tabs also come with a camera? For enterprise work I would have thought the OEMs would have some solutions.

may be you can get the phone you want, and put it in a case that hides the camera, so nobody knows that it has a camera

you work at an intelligence agency or what?

Can't do what you suggest. As for the question, the answer is no...

Majority of tablets do come with cameras but there are a couple that don't. The Nook Tablet and Kindle Fire are the two that come to mind. And, for a big one, there's always the iPad 1.
