I love my BlackBerry Pearl, but sometimes I wonder if I should blame my phone or my photography skills for all the blurry pics I take. Cell phone picture quality can depend on a variety of factors including the number of megapixels, the optical zoom and flash capabilities. If you happen to have a decent camera phone, here are some tips to help you take great pics.

• Keep your camera still- The more still your subject, the clearer your image will be. This is especially true in low light environments where shutter speed is much longer.
• Make sure your subject is well lit- If your camera doesn't have a built in flash, try to take a pic in an environment with decent lighting. If you are indoors, turn on some lights.
• Get close to your subject- Because camera phones usually have low resolution, it's best to take images as close as you can. This will save you from having to zoom in, which will decrease the quality even more.
• Keep your camera lens clean- We all know how dirty cell phones can get. Just wiping off your lens with proper cleaner and a soft cloth can make the world of difference.
