LOL! The survey is about business users, what's more it's aimed at purchase managers buying phones for their employees. Not very surprising they don't want to give their employees camera phones! I'm amazed so many listed it as desirable.

The question asked was: 

"Thinking across your mobile user base, how desirable are the following features in a handheld device for data or mixed use".

I really don't think you can use the results of this survey to back up the argument that *consumers* don't want cameras on their phones. Although that said, it is an important result - Your boss doesn't want you to have a camera on your corporate phone.
