The first complete camera cell phone was built by Phillipe Kahn in 1997, jerry-rigging a cell phone with a digital camera. The first cell phone picture was taken by Kahn on June 11 that year, from the maternity ward where his first child was born.
The first camera cell phone introduced commercially was the J-SH04 in Japan by J-Phone (now called SoftBank Mobile) and the Sharp Corporation in November 2000. Priced at $500 US, the J-SH04 had a 110 000 pixel resolution (0.1 megapixels), a color LCD screen, one-touch internet access and a speaker phone.
