Yay, lots of interesting mail to open! Looking forward to seeing your haul.
What's your focal length and shutter speed? One is supposed to be able to hand-hold down to 1/f (so, like no slower than 1/50 for a 50mm lens) (maybe you knew that already).... if the low light is requiring slower speeds that could be the problem. Or maybe the autofocus is malfunctioning?

The phone prices are stupid. I can't see spending hundreds on something like that and then you only need to drop it once to burn up all that money. I would only ever buy second-hand (and older models). Cheap cheap!
