 It is impossible to find a phone without a camera now, without paying a premium for the 'privilege' of having no camera included. 


Exactly my point.  The consumer no longer has that choice, because the industry has taken it away from them.  If Nokia (or someone similar) had said forget this and just carried on producing a basic phone (no 3G, no video etc etc) and it was a big seller, would "mobile internet subscriptions, digital music stores and various kinds of premium data transfer like video conferencing." have had so much invested in them?  Would the mobile phone industry be as advanced as it is now?
