10x optical zoom lens for Arc

As I'm about to order it, I wonder if SO has it, or have used it, because I have some questions about the quality - is it blurred or blackened around the corners of the pictures, is the zoom adjustable, or 10x fixed. If anyone has sample photos I'll be thankful - with and without.
I don't know if it's OK to post the link to the shop, so just pictures. You know it anyway...

Did you end up ordering it? I'm curious about your experiences with the lens.

I'm waiting for it to come. But the idea was that i could see if so used it. Not a single sample foto on the whole net...

I think this is a stupid accesory. Better to spend the money in a camera..........

Yeah. I can buy a phone for 20$, a laptop, dslr, video camera and a watch. Why do i need a smartphone with a stupid accessory, as i can have a trailer loaded with things tbat do almost the same...

I've bought one, I'll post some photos during the week =)

i bought one for my X1 a couple of years ago... it was garbage from day one. very impractical. the lens wiggled on the plastic phone case and so the build quality is just what you expect.
your $20 is better spent on a real point-&-shoot camera if you want the zoom capability.

any progress here? Just curious

DealExtreme usually get their hands on new products first. So if no one has bought it from DX, no one else have it.

here are pics using the lens [=
i got it after waiting 7 weeks for it to arrive from DX to usa.
its very nice probably more for outdoors which i havent tried yet but here are pictures with and without so you can see how it zooms in at 10x. the only downside is that you cant control the zoom its 10x fixed.
i zoomed in on the picture with the mushroom [=

1) if you want a laptop, get a laptop (I don't mean it in a rude way; it's just that everyone who tries to use their tablet like a laptop comes here and complains that it doesn't work very well). BTW- ever tried typing on a keyboard that's the size of your tablet? Not fun.
2) for $30, I don't even have to look at the description. I can guarantee it's garbage.
3) that keyboard is for the p1000. Either you don't want that case, or you're in the wrong forum!

Mostly agree, except you can also use the tablet for reading for work, but not writing...

[Q] Magnetic macro/fish-eye lenses... will they fit?

Update:
YES. They fit. See my follow-up post below for two example shots.
Original:
I love taking photos. Which is why I'm so glad we all get to carry cameras in our pockets these days.
I stumbled across these things: http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
They're extra lens attachments for smartphones, and they go on via an adhesive magnetic ring that sits around the phone lens. I'd love to give them a whirl but... the bump.
I'm not sure they'd actually stay on because of the camera bump. So, does anyone have them? Does anyone know if they'll work?

Just sent the seller an E-Mail, I'll let you know once I've got a reply.

If anything the rubberband lens will fit, that is an awesome idea!

Hah, I totally should have just done that myself. Thanks though.

Yeah that thing is cool, it just doesn't seem like the results would be on par. Still, maybe as a back-up plan!

Actually, I've had insane results with a DVD burner lens and my old SE W910 ... I could see this working pretty well.
But if you're using the words "on par" you probably have some needs for quality, while I'm just mucking around with it so don't really care as long as it's functional and looks cool.

That's a pretty cool hack, GriffinSauce. Wouldn't mind seeing the results!
For the rest of you that were curious, I found a cheaper seller on eBay (about $20 AUD) and took the plunge.
I'm pleased to announce that they fit.
First shots below.
I'm a little concerned that the stick on magnetic ring that holds the lenses on will come off in my pocket, but it came with three extras. We'll see how it goes.

Just bought this on eBay. Can't wait to use it !

No Exynos or Super Amoled for the Galaxy S4

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/02/23...xynos-inside-new-galaxy-s-iv-with-bootscreen/

the bootscreen is fake, and as with leaks specs can faked as well. The GS3 supposedly had a 13MP camera and a 3mp fromt face cam..... but we all know now that isn't the truth

..... just sayin' .....

I think the note2 once the gs4 come available will drop in price and would be a Better buy. My girl friend got the note 2 and I play around with her phone often and it's hard going back to my phone with no s pen and smaller screen I know what I'm getting.

Sammobile usually is spot on with info. Looks interesting to say the least.

Honestly I'm not mad about the gs4 not having an exynos processor. If anyone has looked at the power consumption for the dual core a15 soc in the n10 it's crazy high. So I could see why samsung would have a hard time getting it into a phone without it overheating or draining the battery. But the loss of a samoled screen is a little more I interesting. I don't know how true it is bit it could be a huge blow. And seeing some of the flexible displays were 5 inch 1080p versions I don't think it's far fetched to think they can't make one that can work in the s4

Would be awesome if it has a snapdragon

I'd take any rumor as of now with a grain of salt. I think Samsung's won the heart of many consumers with their Amoled screen. There's not much wrong with the technology, aside from screen burn in. The colors are so much more vibrant on an Amoled screen than any other.
As for the CPU, that's entirely possible since we've already experienced that with our current device. Wonder what's in store for us this time. Hopefully it's another Qualcomm CPU, since it plays nice with CDMA and EvDo.

Sony XZ2 Compact VS LG G7

Hi,
My carrier is Verizon. Between these two phones, which one is to get? thanks

This an Apples v Oranges comparison. Spec wise they're not too far apart, and the OS skins aren't that heavy on either. The camera will be different on both as well.
Ultimately it boils down to size. Do you want a small phone, or a big phone?

I am in dilemma. I like the size of Sony, but I also like the dual cams on LGs.:laugh:

I just got my XZ2C this morning. Coming from a HTC 10, which is smaller than the LG G7, I'm very happy I went the smaller route. I forgot how good it is to be able to use a phone with one hand ... Camera seems good enough for me. I'll buy an actual camera if I need proper shots.

Noice. My upgrade path was exactly the same: from HTC 10 to XZ2 Compact.
And even though the keyboard is smaller, my typing speed has massively increased.
The battery, oh, damn, the battery. I got 11 hours and 16 minutes of screen-on time.
