In the US, photo messaging has increased 32% since February, while in France it has increased 20%, and in the UK it has increased 16%.

The survey found a direct correlation between camera resolution and the number of photo messages sent. It reveals that 44.3% of those who own cameraphones with resolutions exceeding one megapixel sent a photo over the network, versus a global average of 30.5%.

Motorola’s RAZR phone was found to be most popular in the UK and US, while the Nokia 6230 topped the German market, and the French favored Sagem’s My X-5

However, in terms of conversion rate, meaning those who use their cameraphones to generate revenue for their operator by sending a photo on the network, the top devices were the Nokia 6630 in France, the Nokia 6280 in Germany, the Nokia 6111 in the UK and the Danger Sidekick II in the US.
