This is a common pitfall of marketing (and spec) for phones I think. Tech driven customers are the loudest on the internet but that doesn't have to mean they are your key demographic. Look at the iPhone.

Beautiful design + great apps + crappy camera + small screen = slightly increased OPEX + greatly increased margin = happy times

Should've mentioned I was referring too earlier models (not 4 and 4S). And maybe "crappy" was a bit too emotive. Just referring to Apple's wise choice of cost saving with 3mp when many used 5 and some overspeced to 8 or 13.
