And there was the brief time we said camera phone...
Honestly I never heard that one but even the term phone camera is almost obsolete.
I've heard it somewhere in movies or music. But it was uncommon to use because a lot of the time the camera part wasn't relevant so you'd just call it a phone
I remember camera phones being phones that had more focus on their camera
Nah, originally just any phone with a camera, as opposed to the models of earlier years which didn't have any.
Nokia 3310 is a legendary phone everyone knows it and it predates camera phones. Not by much, but a few years. After Nokia 3310 I had a 3330 and a 5510, both which were essentially just variations of the 3310. Then I had my first colour screen 3510i, which had a colour display (4096 colours, 96x65 pixels. That one could technically display rudimentary "photos". There weren't any ofc, but the images you could order by SMS were amazing compared to the earlier monochromatic displays. And even with those it was hot to order yourself some funny or racy logo made up of not too many pixels. Like these.
So because everything was so much about images and backgrounds and logos, once the first camera phones camera out, even when their cameras were horrible, it meant that you could just make a custom background for your phone just like that, even if if was a photo you couldn't even tell what of.
So yeah people called them camera phones. Then it took years until the photos were the sort of quality you could actually put up somewhere.
But Sony did have a specific K model as well as their W (Walkman) models. One was more focused on the camera and one on music.
Rant over
What the hell are those ‘s’es in ‘uusimmat’ and ‘suosituimmat’? Is it ‘ß’? Why is it there?
Huh. Seems like a version of cursive s, but am not sure.
It turns up in the lyrics of "When you wasn't famous" by The Streets, released in 2006. Maybe it was somewhat regional, though, him being from England and all that.
And an iPaq which ironically wasn't made by apple
