  I mainly replaced my phones when the cameras became better.
  When I started taking pictures of violators it was with a Polaroid
digital camera that I downloaded at home and e-mailed to the office. That was a
poor camera, the photos came out like a Monet painting. 
  I got a cell phone for two reasons: cheaper in the long run over the
landline and instead of carrying a bulky camera I could use the phone.
  That was still download at home and mail to the office.
  Then when data became available I replaced it, then on up the line to
wifi.
  I started with a Motorola flip phone and on through other androids to my
current iPhone, which has a great camera.  And at $150 it was the most
expensive phone I had brought, all the others were the $50 range.
