Telephone call or sneak photograph? Many are uneasy at the invasion of privacy camera phones represent. Banned in the Kingdom, they are still easily obtainable on the “gray market.” (AN photo by Roger Harrison)
JEDDAH, 4 April 2004 — Legal or not, mobile phones with cameras are alive and well in the Kingdom. They are openly on sale in phone souks and freely available over the counter in branded stores. To add to the confusion, the technically illegal Samsung E 700 is even advertised on a main thoroughfare in Jeddah
