I want to get a new mobile phone but the choices are very limited on those that do not have a camera. Is there any way at all to disable the camera on any of the mobile phones out there that do have one? My job does not allow an employee to bring a camera on the premises, although you can bring your mobile phone. Thanks!
Rockingorangejuice,
As I mentioned in my question, the choices are very limited with my carrier and I DON’T like the 3 that they order prescription drugs do have. I would prefer to get a LG Chocolate or Motorola Krazr.
Thanks BobW. I was afraid that’d be the case…..
Thanks ZiggyZeox! That sounds promising. I’ll check into it!

JUST Buy a phone with out a camera.
You cannot disable the camera on a phone.
I hear you. This has gotten hard. Many places which allow phones don’t allow cameras and there just aren’t that many camera-free phones out there any more. (Think jury duty: sitting around for hours and having your phone confiscated because it has a camera you weren’t planning to use.)
I think the answer is pretty much “no”. If you can disable a camera outside the gate, you can re-enable it inside the gate. You’d have to physically break the lens and show it to the guard at your workplace.
The Sony Ericsson W950i is a pretty neat way to go. It’s one of the latest phones out, and has lots of features – for the music and business user alike. The best thing is it’s great for you because it’s one of the the few phones that doesn’t sport a camera at all. It’s a bit expensive, but a good choice in your situation. The 4 gig memory isn’t a bad investment either
