Verizon said so...

Looks like we can finally lay this topic to rest. [/snark]
Honestly though... I wonder how many "average consumers" that walk into a Verizon store are going to hear "it has a 20MP camera, so it takes great pictures"? I'd bet that a large percentage of customers would take their word for it. And I bet most of those people would take pictures with the phone and agree with them that the pictures are great... because sometimes ignorance is bliss? I only say that half joking - with the exception of really low light, it seems like the M9 takes photos that are good enough to post on Instagram or Facebook, which is probably what most people use their camera phone for anyway.
